Protip: to avoid your phone being hijacked by rogue towers, you can go to the dialer on Android and type: *#*#4636#*#*

Then go into "phone information" and hit the dropdown to say "NR Only". This means only connect to anything via 5G. If you live in a more remote area you can enable LTE if you must, but NR Only is ideal. Everything else is danger.

Pretty important PSA I shared yesterday, but today I've got boost powers so let's see if it does any better 🚀

Onchain Telco Upgrade:

➡️Replacing phone numbers with onchain identifiers

➡️Replacing SMS/Voice with secure communications

Or you can avoid this attack altogether by getting @3num 

We (@3num) are on a mission to fix the broken telephony networks. Step one is to decouple your phone number from the IMEI by utilizing the data networks. Step two is upgrading the SMS and voice calls to happen over a new E2EE DePIN protocol.

We just launched an alpha version of the app (called Speak3Z) that functions as a second phone number. One cool feature is that you can set your caller ID to your ENS name.

The DePIN layer is still being developed and incentivizes running servers that facilitate private E2EE messaging and WebRTC stun/turn servers.

Still important to block downgrade attacks 😁

Looks like a fun project though. Would love to see more. Is the network live today? How do the DePIN incentives work? Are you expecting people to run nodes at home like Helium etc?
