this is all kinda nice stuff, but fundamentally we need an unsolicited
notification that informs us about call state changes. Everything else
is just wasted time.

Yesterday I realized that even Sierra has included such a command in
their modems.

If you run oFono it will tell you the call time. It has a built-in call
history framework and you can just write a plugin for it.
