Wait really? Is there a way to force yourself to perpetually owe them a small amount of money then? Could be really worth the money.
- cortesoft 7y agoAn attacker could just pay the balance.
- mehrdadn 7y agoSeems like a decent hurdle to make an attacker jump through? Given they'd want the payment to be untraceable etc.
- Spare_account 7y agoThis wouldn't prevent a SIM port attack (which is what occurred in the article). You don't leave your provider so account status isn't a factor. The comment you replied to appears to be discussing porting a number to a different provider which is very different and doesn't happen same-day.
