It would be nice to have a way to query the device phone number and configuration from a webserver. One nice solution would be to POST the configuration back to the sync URLs on first load and whenever it changes.

A sample use case:
Sending status messages from the device to the device to verify network status. This would require knowing the device phone number before receiving a message.

Another use case:
Changing server behavior depending on whether the Message Results API is enabled.

@ghost, I'm trying to look into this but the use case isn't motivating enough for me to spend time on it. I think you could use the secret key and the device_id to validate messages that comes to the server from the device
