Could someone say why "pre-paid phone don’t have as much personalized information available from third party sources"?
Also what are these "third party sources", who would these be in the EU/US? The carriers?
- rosser 9y agoBecause the service providers for post-paid phone accounts are also in the business of re-selling your PII to marketers, probably. You can get a pre-paid with cash in many if not most places. Your identity can probably be deduced from call/text graph analysis, but that's not the same as having the people whom you're paying regularly for the account selling your identity to anyone with a buck to spare.
