>You think the government even has the power to "shut down all internet connections?" All internet connections? No. All the mainstream connections (cox/ATT/etc etc) in its country? Yes of course. >satellite Who do you think owns and controls the satellites? >HAM radio No the government could not shut down ham radio. They could, of course, quite easily monitor any particular frequency, but either way the ham radio is not the internet. >every business in existence that currently lobbies the government Lobbies the government with... money, right? And abiding by its tax laws? They're on the same team, they both want control of money. The government and corporations are on the same team and they are not going to give up their control of money when they change currency.
Coinbase fucks everyone stock soars! ATT fucks millions of users stock soars!
For everyone wondering how 2FA can become compromised: It's called sim swapping. The adversary clones your sim card, and all messages that come to your phone will now go to theirs. They can do this via physical access, or remotely, or via proper channels with the phone company if they have enough information to pretend to be you. Or, they use your email and password and call the phone company and have them connect the phone number to a new phone/sim. Recently, ATT had a sim registry error that caused an outage in the United States. Some believe this was a cyber attack and that those sim cards in those databases were compromised. I'm pretty sure ATT denies these claims.

For those who freaked out at the ATT service outage, that is why solana is trash
I prefer paying $80 less for my service than ATT or Verizon.
No there aren't comparable plans at that rate right now. Mint is a bait and switch, it's only $15 for 3 months then you get bumped to $35-40. ATT has a $25 plan but that's only 16gb of data and requires a year long contract. Verizon has 15gb for $35. T-Mobile has $15 for a paltry 3.5gb. The closest is Visible which is $25. But the idea behind Helium is that in time as more coverage is deployed, major cities will likely come down further from the $20 pricepoint. Right now, Miami is $5. AND you can earn rewards by sharing mapping data and you can use those tokens to pay your bill if you were so inclined. There is no better deal right now. Not even close.
It was 6 months ago so don’t recall exactly. The main issue I think is that I’m in a condo building with a shared ATT network. Entire building is wired with ports and WiFi and each resident has their own credentials. But I don’t have access to do network configurations like port forwarding.
I did but wasn’t able to remote into the Pi. I think the main issue is my network, as I said above I’m in an apartment with a shared ATT network that everyone logs into with their own credentials (either by plugging into CAT 5 port in the wall or connecting wirelessly).
Definitely not that easy. There’s a bunch of stuff you need to configure via the console. Another issue is I live in an apartment with a shared network (entire building is wired with an ATT wireless network) and I couldn’t get it to play nice with that. I don’t have full ability to forward ports and other configs that you can do on a personal router.
Visa, JP Morgan, Starbucks Walmart, Paypal, Tesla, ATT all use crypto on a daily basis. So no, we're not going backwards at all.
I wish I had saved more if my phones. Most were turned in or exchanged through Apple or ATT. I still have my original 60G iPOD trackwheel which works great. It’s my only 30 pin to USB connector.
Ok that could have been said better, my bad. So, what I was trying to do was give weight to the considerable distance between buying in and cashing out crypto as related to levels of privacy. Cashing out without a KYC is either extremely limited in scope or at minimum subject to anywhere from extreme to murky-at-best tax consequences and in many countries actual criminal offenses. All due to the traceable nature of those transactions. Granted there are exceptions here and there. Our stuff is great on/in/near chain and especially cross chain: lots of privacy there. But if you want hard currency in any good amount in most civilized countries you will say good bye to privacy. The only REAL stuff left is either lower layers or taking on something like RAILGUN. As for NFT’s? That’s a whole other shit show of privacy breaking down to basically nothing. This has been a changing beast since right about when the rise of the alt coins began, But we can now say with reasonable certainty that the privacy with crypto (just out of the box) disappears in the process of turning it in to hard currency. I’m sure there is some satoshi-based-wisdom that can be inserted here but post cash tornado door kicking we are basically in the early stages of a truly public chain of blockchains which is great for Huxley novels but not so good for crypto privacy. It’s like reassembling the old ATT: we are centralizing. Centralizing is one of those things you trade stuff for. Like privacy, and liberties etc etc. Hope that all made sense.
Here’s a list of a few of the companies that accept bitcoin as payment. Microsoft, ATT, Wikipedia, KFC, Subway, Twitch, Newegg, Pizza Hut, Miami Dolphins, Dallas Mavericks, Virgin Galactic, Norwegian Air, expressvpn, this list goes on for more than 250+ companies. Good luck living under a rock
I can advertise on my MIL’s hotspot I pay for. Details please ATT.
“Unknown Hackers” Probably ATT employees.
In a time long ago and far far away, I had an email at sbcglobal.net, which was owned by ATT. I can still access it by logging into my ATT account, but never used it for crypto.
Anyone using an ATT email address (older boomers) has probably already fallen for a phishing scheme and had their identity stolen by now.
Taipei, Taiwan, March 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With a quantum leap from Wall Road to HBS Metropolis within the MASFi Monetary Metaverse, Aaron Tsai, King of Shell grew to become World’s first Trillionaire, by means of the creation of his private social token (PST), ATT and an algorithmic USD steady coin USDM. ATT is paired with USDM for buying and selling on HashBrownSwap, HBS’s decentralized alternate (DEX). USDM is backed by Aaron’s private credibility, with every USDM supported by ATT on the ratio of 1:1.
ATT (in my view) is most awful with this issue! And their remediation support is appalling (from personal experience)
I run my own node on a mini PC that averages around 7W of power usage. In terms of storage, you're looking at around 500GB for a node, and a spinning 5400 RPM hard drive will be fast enough to run it (but not much else except BTC). In terms of bandwidth, you can shape your traffic as needed. Back when I was on Verizon Fiber, who did not traffic shape in my locale, I was averaging about 3TB/mo in terms of bandwidth usage (mostly upload). With ATT fiber they are traffic shaping me down to around 1TB/mo. Note: when I say shaping, I still get full speed to most things, but the BTC node upload rate is noticeably slower once I hit that 1TB mark.
In regards to "Android power," I think Google takes the same cut in the Play store. Both Apple and Google should be broken up for Monopoly business practices. Did you know Verizon, ATT, and TMO are forced to subsidize $30 of every iPhone they sell? MSRP is actually $830 but Apple makes them sell for $800 and take a loss on every sale (I guess they can refuse but nobody wants to be the carrier with a more expensive iphone)
Crypto isn't too blame. Users with no knowledge of crypto are. There's no need for an exchange, people use it because they are either lazy or uniformed. Those are the same chads that got into crypto to make money (vs understanding and believing in the technology). There is no technology in a centralized exchange.... This is like blaming they internet when your ISP (Comcast / ATT) increases your prices or shuts down your service.....
And just to be clear - the attack NEVER had physical access to my phone. Not at any point in time. He did it all remotely, by using their Israeli phone carrier office. 'Lost my phone' (even though I was actively using it, making calls regularly). Even if you have security setup at Verizon, say, I might be able to port your number over to ATT and then hack you from there... they never touched my phone at any point. It was all done from a store in Israel.
Hopefully enough so that AT&T has launch ATT coin to raise more capital. Greedy pigs.
Another personal example of this is my mom had ATT phone service and back when they only gave you a set amount of minutes, they had a typo that gave her a lot extra. But they had to honor it. Nothing illegal. A mistake was made but they offered that to her. Obviously my mom knew they did not mean to do that but she took advantage of them any way. She could have done the right thing, but she didn't. This is the same situation. This wasn't a crime. The hacker exploited something. The coders made a mistake or whatever. That's it. Hope maybe that helps.
I never trusted ATT... is it reliable? I could get it and I bet it is cheaper than $75. But can I trust it to always work?
From what company? My choices are Spectrum or ATT....
Yup, exactly. Too soon ATT. But all it takes is the spark. I see more and more people not involved in crypto wondering what to do with FIAT and concerned about it's rapidly falling buying power. All it takes now is a little nudge. Then, come next bull run, people will know.
Don't get a Hotspot unless you like making Pennies a day. Also, the 5G Hotspot cost up to $3000 and no guarantee of income because you're competing against Verizon and ATT and T-Mobile.
Yeah, very true OP Case in Point: Helium Network and their collapsing earnings and now moving to a completely different network with 5g to "Try" to Compete with Verizon, Vodafone, ATT, T-Mobile, etc. That happen all in the last 3 months and they suddenly came up with a new coin they will pay in called "MOBILE" for their 5G thingy and "$IOT" for that old ass network they ran. You won't get plain old HNT anymore for mining
Helium Network is just getting worse with reduced rewards, network instability and moving the goal-post more and more and only the Devs basically profit or understand what they are doing! 1. Since they released the "Light Hotspot Update" Rewards have fallen by 50% or more due to network instability, less witnessing and beaconing for full miners and the networks ongoing problem of Miners Gaming the system (Putting multiple miners in the same house or area) and taking all of the HNT in each block and leaving peanuts for everyone else. 2. With the rollout of a "New" Miner for their 5G Network (A Completely Different Network) you have to buy the another miner and the Small-Cell Antenna at a minimum price of $3000 3. With the 5G network (Yeah 5G competing against Verizon, Vodafone, ATT, T-Mobile) you will be paid NOT in HNT but in this new token called MOBILE that currently has no value and then you are suppose to convert that to HNT and then you could cash that out? 4. Come August 1st or soon thereafter, the Current Miners (Non 5G) will no longer be receiving HNT but something callled $IOT for providing Helium Network coverage. Moreover, Helium Network has plans to move to a Completely DIFFERENT L1 Blockchain such as Solana or Algo or whatever, so basically those HNT Tokens will be worthless since the Helium Blockchain will not be used! Their own Network Validators that have Millions of Tokens Staked, I guess, will be compensated some how, some way for their Staked HNT but considering how Scammy and underhanded the Helium Network has become, I wouldn't want to be a Validator with 10,000 HNT Staked!
Helium Network is playing whack-a-mole with their "Rewards" 1.

No it was a Bloomberg article. All it said was att will make 14 billion, 1 billion loses ytd due to payment issues. CEO of ATT complaining that they have reduced their phone payment plans, lowered the cost of new phones and this is not enough. Myself, a customer has seen in the last 2 months my phone bill went up nearly $80 and my internet up $10. The reason, a promotion I was unaware of expired. I call BS
Isn’t the core principle of Web 3.0 decentralization. Neither polygon or Solana is decentralized. Imagine having a Solana phone and having it stop working 6 times in 6 months. I could see Solana being worse than ATT or Comcast
I think Verizon does. Not sure about ATT or any of the MVNO companies..
Such ability exists but would still be the nations governing themselves, not the signature on an arbitrary attempted over reach by international powers. Even when such things are signed by nations they are rarely enforced as scuh. Easy example- Obama signed the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) in 2013. It has not been and never will be enforced in the US.
Yes, the internet is marketed and advertised, that was my whole point behind governmentally regulated infrastructure (gas, water, etc). Comcast, Verizon, ATT, Cox, etc etc, hundreds of companies marketing and advertising access to an underlying infrastructure. You're the one that doesn't understand the difference between the *technology of a distributed ledger* and a company/group/business that builds a project based around that technology. To be even more specific and address the concept vs the application, to your point: of course *the internet* doesn't have an ad agencey because it's just a concept. The same applies to *blockchain* which is much broader than the simple use case of cryptocurrency. That means that Bitcoin is not *the blockchain*, neither is ETH, or ADA, or any other crypto. They are service providers like Level 3 Communications or Comcast or anyone that owns the physical pipes that the internet runs through. Those entities functionally become the internet we talk about and they all have marketing. The same concept applies for Layer 1 crypto projects that we can use, they enable blockchain technology for us - they are not the concept of *blockchain* itself. Each project can chose to be open source, publically funded, non-profit, DAO governed, or take on any other characteristic they chose because they are built by people who have their own notions of what the project should be. Just because you don't want blockchain technology to be used as a commercial commodity doesn't mean others have to live by your opinion. No one can close off the access to *blockchain* because it's just a concept like *the internet*, but the groups that enable you to interact with that technology can chose to do whatever they want (within laws & regulation of course) and you're free to move if you don't like the way they do things (discounting the reality of monopolies). P.S. - I'm here for the money, I don't really care if ETH or ADA or something else "wins" because the tech is still years, if not decades, away from being useful mainstream - if it ever makes it that far.
What does that have to do with CNN being supposedly left? Care to address the original claim, given the ask was how a company owned by ATT Time Warner would even be remotely left wing if all their corp interests scream the opposite?
Not naturally... more like patholgically. But to his point I think he's referring to being able to live off the dividends if you invest it properly. ATT for example is at an 8% dividend yield right now since the market has sold down. 1,000,000 at 8% is 80k a year... more than enough to live off of.
Hey man I know this is 4 hours late, what he’s asking is if you have WiFi calling enabled in your settings? If you’re on an iPhone or android and have WiFi calling enabled in settings, then it’ll appear as VOIP even if you’re on ATT, Verizon etc. Try disabling “WiFi calling”/or completely turn off WiFi, then try again.
Did you know that years ago, ATT customers could only text fellow ATT users and Verizon users could only text other Verizon customers. I get what your saying about differing ‘standards’ but what’s to say things don’t become more universally pluggable in time.
Like ETH but just for clarification, ATT currently pays 8.64% per/schwab website.

This always amazes me…like there will be no government or some collapse but Verizon, Comcast, and ATT are just going to keep chugging along 🤦♂️
My favorite scam is the ATT “thanks for paying your bill, here’s a free gift” 😂 like who tf clicks on that link?
The internet isn't this 1 thing that someone controls. It's the biggest network that everyone PLUGS INTO. And it does this by using standardized protocols like TCP/IP Ethernet. Maybe new networks pop up alongside it. But there's really no need for that. Helium vision will ultimately compete with companies like ATT, Verizon, starlink, etc.
Correct. ATT both owns CNN and then funded OAN so they could get going.
If it works then why are people still getting sim swapped... [https://np.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/p3vooz/simswapped\_with\_a\_pin/](https://np.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/p3vooz/simswapped_with_a_pin/) [https://np.reddit.com/r/ATT/comments/gnzak4/i\_was\_a\_victim\_of\_a\_sim\_swap\_attack\_heres\_a\_video/](https://np.reddit.com/r/ATT/comments/gnzak4/i_was_a_victim_of_a_sim_swap_attack_heres_a_video/) [https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/nmfws6/last\_night\_i\_was\_the\_victim\_of\_a\_sim\_swap/](https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/nmfws6/last_night_i_was_the_victim_of_a_sim_swap/) All these locks and PINs don't mean anything if the employee can bypass them because customers lose this stuff all the time. The best advice is to not use SMS for anything relating to security. Use Authy or any other kind of 2FA as SMS 2FA is not secure.
> They are the reason I don't even answer my phone We should sue ATT/TMOBILE/VERIZON for this shitty madness of doing business. They could stop it if they want
I hope that the community focuses on more practical, realistic solutions once all this web3 nonsense blows over during the next major crash (which feels like it’s almost certainly coming in the next 24 months as liquidity and appetite for risk assets dries up). Elections, ticketing, smart contracts, public records… so much opportunity. DLT definitely has a niche. But I have no idea how everyone got to thinking DLT would become like a new kind of internet doing all these things it can’t do. Like, even if DLT could somehow be what these people think it could, how are you going to have a decentralized network when you can’t even choose who your ISP is? My choices are spectrum broadband or DSL from ATT— hardly a choice.
When I first started my current job, one of my first phone calls was supposedly from ATT to upgrade our plan. We had half a dozen ATT lines so it made sense. Got all the way to requiring payment and was like "Wouldn't the main office handle that?" and got hung up on. 😂 A week later I got a call that our electric was being shut off if we didn't pay within a few hours. Called the main office just in case and we all had a laugh about how we'd find out in a few hours if it was a scam or not. My mom once got a call claiming I was in jail and needing bail money. She called up my wife afterwards to ask what happened and was surprised when I answered the phone. So apparently she didn't care if it was a scam or not, she figured if I did something to wind up in jail then I could sort it out myself. 🤣
Your ATT Beel is redy. Please clik her to pay in BTC.
Yup it was ATT that let the hacker do the sim swap.
In 1997 our post college house dialed in to University of Michigan's 56k modems and the number was the wrong area code.. our ATT bill that month was $650.. ATT had no problems cancelling that bill even though it was our mistake!
Appreciate the feedback bro. I’m running an ATT modem (ISP provided) > DPR miner > NETGEAR router > FreedomFi HNT miner. Mind if I message u if I have any questions?
Transferred my phone number to them then got my code gotta love ATT
ATT didn’t send me the phone they just randomly reversed my purchase… nothing I did to return or anything.
AMD I believe in. Nvidia too. Intel also, IBM also, ATT also. Big tech gets bigger.
Someone just got scammed…. Don’t invest in projects you haven’t researched to a T… I get scam calls everyday, yet My ATT cell service is pretty mainstream..

I've been researching Helium and I'm struggling to really understand the use cases. Everyone is so focused on mining that I see very little discussion on the actual use cases. The IoT ecosystem is already huge and continuing to grow exponentially. e.g., smart factories, climate monitoring, smart cars, etc.... The operational and analytical uses are endless. So what is the incentive for a company developing an IoT device to use the Helium network? As opposed to an established network (e.g, ATT, Verizon, Orange, etc.) with extensive global coverage because of existing roaming agreements? With 5g buildout and development of eUICC (SIM) platforms, why would product developer build for the Helium network? I really love the idea of Helium, but I struggle with the end game.
We live the same life sorta… confidence goes a long way. There are jobs out there that you can promote quick in. Otherwise quit wasting your time and get in sales. A good sales job can take you anywhere you want to go. You could go to ATT and make 60K plus benefits. Jobs are there. I say that to not make a decision you may or may not regret.
Yeah that sounds nice but even if they shut down ATT and Verizon for even 5 days this country would collapse
Fox is the biggest MSM. OANN is bankrolled by ATT. Another MSM junket. CNN and MSNBC would be the equivalent, but from where I sit CNN and MSNBC are owned by the same moneyed interests as the other two. Thing is, CNN came into existence as the first 24 hour news channel. Fox came into existence to insulate the Republican Party after Nixon was forced to resign after Watergate. Those two bits of information can tell you a lot about why those channels operate the way they do. Both were born of greedy interests. One of them decided flexibility with the truth was fine. The reality is both of them are flexible with the truth, but Fox is SIGNIFICANTLY worse in that respect. I know everyone here will disagree, but if you don't see that you're probably not reading this far anyway. Some things are measurable. Primary sources are available. Its just not hard to see for those who have memories for news cycles. In any case, I largely agree. People and organizations are always looking outward for things to blame for their own missteps and their own loss of credibility. That's a universal human trait that has become worse in the digital age, with pages that reach back decades, archived data readily available, the availability of broad historical context that would have been out of reach of most people even as far back as the 90s. There's still a stubborn mindset that owning your own mistakes is a cardinal sin and admitting fault is an okay thing to do. There are reasons for this. An overly litigous culture. A heavy handed criminal justice system that sanctions mistakes so heavily that the doing the right thing becomes the wrong thing, etc. I'm sure all of that's worse when you're making obscene amounts of money, too (even though it kinda objectively isn't. It just *feels* worse for them because they've got a lot to lose, or, in other words, a comfortable life). In any case, I was referring to the trademark Fox belligerence more than the content. The tone of the comment was very Hannity. But whatever. Don't care about the downvotes. Been around here way too long for that shit. Thanks for your perspective, though.
If you mention Raiblocks/Nano and ETH/ETC, you should at least have the decency to say what it's about. It's about the scam/hack, not the coin itself. Terribly misleading, as it's insinuating that the coin itself is the scam. ​ For the unaware: **Nano story**: BitGrail was one of the smaller exchanges that was the first one to start trading Nano. The scumbag owner (Francesco Firano) stole user funds (mostly Nano) amounting to over $140mil, attributed it to Nano double spend, the devs/team checked it and while ATT it was possible (due to code vulnerability), just didn't happen. The owner has been prosecuted and charged and is currently in jail. Nano has never recovered after that (price wise). **ETH/ETC story**: DAO token (on the ETH chain) had security vulnerabilities in the code. They were exploited, and 3.6 million Ether was "stolen" (not quite, there was a 28 days window). Members of DAO and ETH community debated on what to do what to do next, "purists" on one side (saying Code is law) and "ethicals" on other (saying people hacked should be made whole). Purists stayed on the ETH chain, the other party switched to ETC (by hard fork).
As a liberal, we’ve been tremendously annoyed at attempts to rehabilitate him. We agree that he’s one of the worst president of all time. I don’t know your position, but i know you ostensibly disagree with mine, but here? We agree here. Bush sucks. If you want to understand liberals, are you talking to liberals about what they think?Or are you preferring strawman versions of liberal folks from conservative media to fill in those gaps? I mean, on this issue, we’re on the same page, but you seem to think this isn’t true of liberals in general, correct? Also, who’s narrative are you referring to? What is your understanding of the interplay between Democrats, Republicans, MSM ( Fox and OANN included. They’re bankrolled by ATT.)?
No, ATT will not start diverting my phone calls to some random person pretending to be me.
IBM stock, obviously. Maybe some GM or ATT.
I got one for you. and you can quote me on this. TEL coin will be the next to pump that high. wanna kno why? because they are getting in good with the Telcom providers. once they snatch up ATT, verizon, and T-mobile. Its game over. To the moon. Please, friends. Take heed. by the way, I do hold a strong position with them. Call it a shill or not. i KNOW its going places. you guys can make your own decision
I noticed I had the option of paying my ATT bill with bitpay. Didnt even remember reading about that.
Yeah even still, that subscriber base of boost mobile is a pathetically small percentage of all mobile users. By comparison a company like ATT has 182M subscribers. Not sure a subscription base of 9M will have much of an impact on ADAs bottom line.
You can contact ATT or your carrier and set a PIN number required to allow migration of the SIm remotely to a new phone. I did it online. Don’t store the code digitally.
Fun project but one that we all should be thinking about. Lots of people play the lottery with no plan if they actually win. We play in crypto because we want/hope to win but how many of us actually know what we will do when we do win. Anyway…. 100k gain to do list (in this order) - pay off $14k in CC debt. That is my current goal already so that was easy. - feed $10k back into my day trading bot - pay off ATT cell phone lease plans $2kish - Stake $40k CRO and upgrade to the Icy CDC Visa Card Leaves $34k so quite a bit left. Maybe payoff the car to eliminate that Interest rate OR put it into Crypto.com’s flexible USDC Stake earning 10% apr.
> Bit ATT should still do better OK. You lose your phone and need a new SIM card. What are you going to do then?
ATT and ALL other mobile carriers better beef up their sec.
Agreed. ATT never claimed to be an ID verification company. 2 factor via text message simply shouldn’t exist. But bringing this issue into the spotlight is overall a good thing even if the case is thrown out.
I pay for my phone(not iphones) upfront because I don't want to be locked into the dumb cell phone companies and prefer pre paid because it's much cheaper. My prepay plan is unlimited everything for $25/month on top of getting 1 free month a year so yearly it only.costs me $225 for cell service. The same phone plan with ATT, Tmobile , Verizon etc would cost roughly $60/month meaning I pay $720/year for service. So on top of owning my cell phone outright and it being unlocked. I'm also saving $500~/year not being stuck to one of these cell phone providers plan "making payments"
Too many devices can cause issues. Delayed load times, buffering, latency. They were all competing for bandwidth. Remember ATT promises you 1gb speed but actually provides 100-200 mb at any given time. Fucking att.
Also won't work for auto pay services in telecom, at least ATT...wont accept pre-loaded cards. However, the rest of this card is great...I use it for eating out and daily expenses and subscription services. It will still add up higher than most CC rewards out there. Goes right back into crypto, a dollar saved etc etc
Dude...I am not saying I have EVIDENCE that 'number lock' has been overridden and that people on it have been SIM-swapped. HOWEVER, Verizon is a large company that resells it's network to many smaller companies. Verizon relies on smooth number transfers (SIM transfers) when customers want to switch to them or switch out of them to other carriers. Before 'Number Lock' Verizon was also advertising some kind of extra PIN you could put in your account to prevent SIM swapping and that was bypassed. Same with ATT--they allowed you to put on a separate PIN on the account that supposedly was needed to access the account. However, customers with those features were SIM swapped without the hackers ever needing to know those PINs. Then a couple of years ago ATT started telling customers who were concerned about SIM swapping that they had upgraded their accounts to 'Movie Star' protection--meaning they made gave them the same high level of protection they gave 'Movie Stars' and that those accounts COULD NOT be SIM swapped. Guess what? They were SIM swapped. So, yeah I don't have evidence that 'Number Lock' has been bypassed by internal employees. But I am almost certain that it absolutely can be bypassed. Maybe not by some hacker in Russia but definitely it can be bypassed if that hacker is working with an employee inside Verizon who has access to the 'Number Lock' feature control.
This is a well publicied lawsuit where the guy was REPEATEDLY SIM swapped despite ATT telling him it won't happen again. Use Google and you will find similar lawsuits against Verizon. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/10/att-employees-helped-sim-swap-hackers-rob-man-of-1-8-million-lawsuit-says/ The bottom line is that when an inside employee is involved in the SIM swap all the 'extra' security they add to the account is useless. It can be easily bypassed using the internal systems. All the 'big' thefts done with SIM swapping now involve internal employees.
Don't rely on this--it's complete MARKETING bullshit. The SIM swaps on ATT and Verizon have been done by people working for those companies and they have a way to bypass all that fake 'extra security'. Even adding a 'password' or any such 'security' is all fake window dressing. The internal employees can bypass all that. Even if they assure you your account has 'movie star' level security, it's all bullshit. The best way is to NEVER use SMS 2FA and switch to using Google Authenticator or something similar to that.
Tell OP he needs to go with ATT or Verizon and this won't happen. The biz needs to offer a password that only you know that when he comes to the mobile store they can verify the account via a memorized pass.word. I hate these sim swap fuckers.
Why does there only need to be 1 utility blockchain? Do you have Verizon or TMobile? Or ATT, Cricket, etc… Ada doesn’t need to ‘catch’ ethereum any time soon to be considered successful.
I took the ATT deal and only paying a few bucks a month for my iPhone since they gave $700 back for any device, and a $200 debit card. Put some of the cash in crypto and now I have enough money to pay back the full term of the contract and can still leave most of it in crypto.
NCR is owned by ATT if you didn’t know
I wonder how this will play our, since NCR is owned by ATT, and past mergers and acquisitions didn’t play out favorably

I just got my card a couple days ago. Haven't had anyone decline it yet. I was going to change my ATT and internet auto pay over to the CB card. Hopefully I can.
I think we will see some green upon markets opening. Tech did alright last week, mid to late week were strong and my options plays did well. Amazon, Apple, HUT, even ATT had some good shit going on. I’m calling a Green Day in the markets.
Wish there was decentralized wireless. Been on hold for 5 hours with ATT.
With a properly designed secure protocol mitm should not be possible. The cell network is not that. I have no idea why you’re defending the cell networks as if they’re secure. There are many many instances of it being proven to be not secure. Do you work for ATT or something?
I’m glad someone finally brought this up. I’ve been thinking about that for a few days. It’s quite obvious that when you are moving half the network around the globe there’s a significant cost they know they can recoup through miner rewards, so they have no issue selling to cover cost knowing they can gain some back through mining or low cost buy-backs later. It’s also amazing that while half the network is moving, it still continues to run and operate (and lightning is gaining quickly too). I work in IT and can tell you, if you took down half of ATT or Walmart or Facebook or any other major company, they would have serious issues in maintaining stability. Meanwhile, as long as 1 node remains, Bitcoin will survive (sure unusable at that point, but the data will survive). I had a customer who lost sharepoint the other day and can’t get their backup fully restored and lost 2 weeks of data.
Sure, but take bitcoin as an analogy. It's up well beyond that at this point and if you believe it's going further, then letting it ride isn't the wrong answer. If you understand the possible outcome sample spaces of short squeeze then you recognize situationally, 10x isn't as abnormal as if ATT moved 10x. Peoples situations are... situational. Blanket statements aren't helpful.

Technically that's correct, but that only works as long as you don't default on your corporate bonds (issued debt). If you default, your bonds become worthless to the market and therefore you'll lose your ability to issue more debt. Fun fact: AT&T has $180 billion in debt, some of it is due as far away as 2097... https://investors.att.com/~/media/Files/A/ATT-IR/financial-reports/quarterly-earnings/2021/debt-list-1q21.pdf
