I feel like every two years I need to call my carrier and complain if I want a decent deal. They will do things like upgrade my plan on their website to have 10 extra gigabytes of data but won’t upgrade me to it until I contact them. There’s also all the new member exclusive deals that I feel make it impractical to just sit on one plan for an extended period of time.

    I change phones (used 5± years old), phone number, and service every year, but it has nothing to do with billing, price, or service quality. Had to create a list of accounts that I have to update as well. Would desperately like a virtual phone forwarding service I can trust to further help obfuscate.

        Honestly, I acknowledge that I go WAY overboard when it comes to privacy… But of the past few numbers, I haven’t been able to find any tied back to me. I don’t recommend what I do for anyone, but anything I can do to obfuscate my data and online identity I usually do regardless of the inconveniences. As I’ve gotten better and better it’s become a fun challenge to find new ways to duck online corporate spyware. (Yes the government probably knows each and every number I’ve had… But there’s only so much a guy can do.)
