- flurdy 10y agoIf they have access to your sim they can probably reset your passwords and possibly get TFA via SMS to most social media and email accounts....
- waqf 10y agoIt depends on your exact threat model, but when your attackers are state agencies you should probably be assuming that the telephone network is compromised anyway.
- emmelaich 10y agoI did exactly that on a recent trip to the USA. First day, I went to an AT&T shop and bought a phone + 8gb data for month for cash. No ID or credit card required. I bought this not for anything nefarious, but just so I had a local number for hotel bookings plus a wifi hotspot if needed.
