There is this carrier I stumbled upon called Cape, calls itself America’s privacy first carrier.

It claims to offer privacy and security and to only store necessary information.

We don’t collect your name, social security number, address, or other personal information. Any data we do receive (like call logs) is deleted after 60 days.

We secure your account against SIM swaps—attacks to steal your phone number and access your accounts—with modern cryptography protocols.

Our proprietary signaling protection blocks attempts by bad actors to intercept calls and SMS via outdated signaling protocols like SS7.

Voicemails can hold sensitive information like 2FA codes. Cape encrypts your voicemails so only you have access to them.

We don’t collect your name or billing address at checkout, and Cape never sees your credit card details.

Anonymous sign-up

They are also partnered with Proton

Here is a detailed list of what data they collect

They are currently offering a $1.50 trial for one month.

The CEO, John Doyle, was a communications specialist in the U.S. Army and worked for Palantir.

    I’m not judging them on their claims, but their cost compared to other MVNOs is insane. The extra features they add do not seem worth the $99 they want to charge.

      Only because you are the product with the others, pr your information anyway. Without selling that info, they need to do a lot to make up the lost profit. Assuming this is real and not just a sting op or something.

      Sadly privacy is costly. It’s the only option compared to the others
