Nope.  It doesn't work that way.  Most phones are registered AS UNITS
and do not contain separately registered access devices.  As such, any
modifications you make to such a phone will void the FCC registration.
Only those service points that are authorized by the Commission to
make changes to registered equipment may do so without voiding
the registration.  Now if the phone contained a separately registered
DAA-type circuit, that would be another matter.  Most don't.
