I see a lot of recommendations for various services and products which are respect privacy, but I don’t think I have seen any discussion around cell phone carriers (service providers). I am aware of some of the advantages of using VOIP as a phone service. However, if VOIP is not desired, what are good options for an US phone carrier which provides a physical SIM or eSIM?
I am guessing I have not seen this discussed because phone calls and SMS texts come with inherent insecurities and can always be associated to your phone number. However, I would assume some carriers sell users data more heavily than others. If anyone knows some recommendations, or can explain what to look for, many thanks.
They’re all pretty much the same privacy wise so fake info plus any prepaid carrier that has what you’re looking for would be your option. I suggest mint since they’re one of the few that offer totp as a 2fa method. I believe tello and possibly usmobile does too but I’ll have to doublecheck that. Best bang for your buck if you want truly unlimited data (I’m looking at you mint) would be visible but no totp sadly and heard customer support sucks.
