Is it possible? Call without SIM(phone number)

See original GitHub issue

Does this great repo needs phone number to start call? Should I start call without phone number(handle)? RNCallKeep.startCall(uuid, handle, contactIdentifier);

@crazypioneer yes, it works on android, but if you test on Tablet (Lenovo m8 in our case) with no sim slots-no calls.

Just if anyone interested and for people who will have tablets without calling accounts on android, here is my solution. First and foremost: there are devices, that have no calling accounts and if you haven’t chosen calling account/phone account on android, than callkeep will not work and try to ask you permission every app restart, which is not desirable behaviour. So, we need to check if there are any calling accounts, e.g. telecomManager.getCallCapablePhoneAccounts().isEmpty() ? false : true and if call accounts empty-use other calling solution, which i use https://github.com/ajith-ab/react-native-voip-call , which complements callKeep perfectly for android devices without calling accounts
