How can a mobile carrier operate like this?? No authentication that the request isn't fraudulent?
In Sweden I switched to another carrier, still keeping the number in the same name. To do that I got a text message with a code I had to input to initiate the process.
When I ported my phone number from my father to me within the same carrier when I turned 18 that required the same confirmation to initiate the process and signed request/approval both from me and my father posted to the company, with associated emails about the process.
This isn't even hard? This is just basic steps to prevent identity theft....
