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 🚀

Answering the question "where's the beef?"

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?

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.

The answer is *probably* yes, I feel like I've seen instructions to do it in the past, but not seeing anything consistent in my searches at the moment 🤔

Thank you for using your powers for good!
