This is exactly the method how criminals in my home country send scam texts to victims[1], it's hard to trace since they are mobile. Before LTE towers were widely deployed, two major GSM operators can't prevent people from connect

I had the same experience. Though I tried multiple times with different methods, I have never benefited from meditation, or I never felt so, contrary to most studies. Maybe we are in the <0.05 population?
