Privacy is a ratchet, you can always reveal more information if needed, but once disclosed, you can't take it back.
This is an observation from Ian Goldberg, one of the finest minds in modern cryptography.

The NFT thing was a joke and our timing was terrjble. We were going to launch it at consensys. We had a bunch of the top bored apes, crypto punks, etc all glitched out (but recognizable) and nearly ready to go on raretoshi when the bottom fell out of the NFT market (and crypto generally) after the Fed hiked rates and Celcius collapsed, etc.

as I understand it, hushed is a voip number that forwards to your device. that doesn't work for a lot of services. cloaked wireless gives you an actual mobile number, with unlimited voice, text and data (@256k/s) you choose your high speed data level.

silent.link was data only last time I checked. They plan to offer voice soonish iirc. We expect to be competitive on price.

lastly we have plans for further improvements, eventually pushing all traffic over a full mixnet (both user data traffic and and voice. this will defend against all location tracking. we have some interim hacks but only things that don't actually make you more of a target.
hint: swapping imei and imsi repeatedly while in the same location is like trying to be subtle while you've got a full marching band following you

Our carrier partner doesn't see our customer data and we don't care if you're jane smith, or satoshi nakamoto #84.

the difference is that a sim lock at another provider is still a speed bump. groups like lapsus$ have been straight up paying insiders as much as $20k a week to do sim swaps on accounts. the lock doesn't present an issue

We're here for all the services that still leave you exposed to an SMS. Your bank, your AppleID, etc

Hi! We're here too. Happy to answer any questions.
SIM swaps happen because there are too many people at the various telcos who have the ability to make changes to your account. We restrict this to the user instead of allowing thousands of sales and support staff to do it.
The way it works is that we buy wholesale minutes from the carrier and we handle the customer info. They don't see any personal info, just the MSISDN, IMSI and an IMEI.
We don't care what you call yourself. Pay with bitcoin or monero and you don't need to give us any real info.
