Yes. This is very useful feature in some legitimate applications, like handset testing and disaster relief. It also makes it very easy to accidentally block cellular service for random subscribers in your test area if you forget that it is turned on. If you put a feature like this on you system, you might also consider delivering a test message to the newly attached subscriber telling them what has happened. Otherwise the system too easily lends itself to abuse.
Good idea, we added this switch as sort of hack for the 25c3 to send invitations. So what we could do would be let the "unauthorized" user in, assign an extension from a pool, send the user a SMS with his number.
thanks for the hint z.
