Happy to see a privacy-focused carrier, and it has better policies than any other carrier out there. But founder is formerly from Palantir and there’s a lot of VC money behind it (not inherently a problem, just flagging).

Thoughts?

    Well, opsec can only go so far. At some point you need data packets traveling over real wires, and it’s a question of who do you trust with unencrypted data like SMS? Using a data only VPN is “clunky” for wealthy manbabies, who demand less friction in everything they do.

    Simply having your data going to their service is immaterial since it’s likely the phone number also indicates it’s a Cape carrier phone, and the IMEI of the phone doesn’t ping for any other carrier.

    It’s a strong “ugh…maybe, we’ll see” from me, but I wouldn’t bother with it for another 6 months and see if it ends up one of those super elitist things wealthy people talk about only to each other.
