Load apk, select which sim you want to use, enter Android victims phone number, hit send, it will crash telephony app and it’ll restart.. carrier will resend the text message as there was no acknowledgment crashing it again in a loop.

Only “fix” for this attack is to place SIM card in a non-Android phone to ack the inbound messages, or wait a few days of constant disconnects.

Huh, but then it's neither remote nor zero click if you need to locally install malware?

Or did I misunderstand you and can you input any phone number to cause this issue? If so that would sound more like a carrier issue then a android issue to me

The software is installed on the _sender_ device.

Huh, Yes victims phone number, bug is in android. Carriers just send messages.
