Being serious, I don't think waiting 72 hours for a SIM number port is an inconvenience. IF you lose your phone & SIM inside it, you need to go to the store anyway, or have a new phone sent by post (takes a few days usually). One of these things has to happen! You need a new phone! So what we are adding here is a 72 hour wait for the number port. In the meantime you have a temporary number. Govt should legislate to make precautions like this compulsory, or to create incentives for good security like steep fines against the phone company for simjacking, together with private red teams probing phone corp's security in this regard and claiming part of the fine.
