Solution:
- ---------
Add 2-factor authentication (passcode requirement) by default and cease
implicit trust of Caller-ID information.


T-Mobile's messaging system (in Indianapolis, at least. I do not know
if they have migrated to a single VM system) has a setting the user
can specify to require passcode when calling from mobile phone.

Hence, by default! It is not on by default.
