On LINE telephones, you can notify the caller number to the other party as the source source of the telephone number registered in the LINE account, but depending on the other business or model, the telephone number is not notified or notification.It may be notified (*1) or an international telephone type accompanied by a national number (*2).LINE phone caller number notifications are close to that of international telephones, indicating that the communication route is different from conventional landlines and mobile phones.

検証環境の構成。LINEアプリが行うインターネット通信をMacBook Proで確認するFirst of all, as a type of communication, apart from the communication that transmits and receives the contents of the call (hereinafter referred to as "Call Contents"), the communication (hereinafter referred to as "log communication") is a communication that sends some logs after the call.It was observed for free calls.
In the call content communication, it seems that the audio of the call and the video data of the call remain the same (*3).On the other hand, log communication has been sent by HTTP that is not encrypted to a specific URL, but the transmission content could not be read because it is not a character (*4).
*3: Binary is transmitted and received by UDP.
*4: Binary is sent by http post.

The survey showed that "LINE telephones have been transmitted to South Korea once on the Internet and then connected to the telephone network somewhere."There is a possibility that communication has been transferred from South Korea to another country or region, so it is not possible to determine where the connection to the telephone network is performed.However, considering the fact that they are communicating abroad and the phenomena of the telephone number notified by the international telephone type, IP telecommunications are connected to the telephone network outside Japan and fixed in Japan as international calls.It is expected to be connected to a phone or mobile phone.
A LINE phone that is essentially different from ordinary mobile phones where communication is completed in Japan.I want to recognize the differences and use them wisely.
