You know, I’m starting to become slightly more serious about switching carriers solely based on how terrible it would be to experience SMS/Call diverting of my number.
While I use a yubikey, OTP (where possible), and unique passwords…there’s still places where I have no choice and my number is my auth (or stupidly a reset option).
I genuinely am happy with TMO service in the US, and frankly abroad it’s excellent…but I’d be lying if every single article I see about their security breaches reminds me I may be on borrowed time myself.
