- ta999999171 7y agoSure they do! (Assuming you're not kidding.) Make the cell connections a secure protocol, instead of something any asshole with an antenna can spoof & create a portable "cell tower".

A single carrier likely couldn't do that without coordinating with other carriers (as a client roams to a new net).
