When I tested this under FSO I checked that it was persistent over multiple 
calls. It remained until I explicitly disabled it with AT%N0001 mid call 
several calls later to check the effect back to back. I may retest this in 
case I missed something.

Are there any resets of any sort in there that could undo the setting? Unless 
there's a delay involved I can't see any harm in sending AT%N0187 at the 
start of every call.
