|    T-Mobile implementing a new security fea    |

      From: malQRMassimilation@gmail.com              SIM swaps continue to be a problem for wireless users in the country.       And one way to address the issue is by looking for ways to improve how       these are done. T-Mobile disabled its self-service SIM swap last month       so they could start implementing an extra security measure against such       requests. And while the self-service step has been disabled, users had       to contact support to complete the process.              Thankfully, T-Mobile has found a way to make SIM swap requests more       secure. As reported by The T-Mo Report, the Un-carrier has a new SIM       block service that will allow customers to block their line or entire       account from getting a SIM charge. The report reveals that a SIM can       only be changed once a block is disabled. If a SIM block is active, the       customer needs to verify the request with a one-time passcode sent via       email or as an SMS to an existing line. As a customer, you can access       the new SIM block feature via the T-Mobile app or the My T-Mobile website.              https://www.tmonews.com/2022/12/t-mobile-implementing-a-new-secu       ity-feature-for-sim-swap-requests/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
