Is there a cell phone service that actually secures your account and data (prevents people from sim swapping, etc)?

- RandomBacon 6y agoActually, their customer service support is very good. Source: I've had to call their customer support. I had an issue with my VOIP number I ported over not working properly, they fixed it. They'll probably prevent a sim swap, but I don't know about not using my personal data.
