Enfani (previously don't port) has a product to prevent this: https://efani.com/

I haven't used it. I want to, but haven't wanted to deal with changing my family plan. It does make me more interested in a dual-sim phone.

How is this supposed to work? Efani seems to just be a MVNO, there’s no way they can protect you against attacks on the carriers they resell.

The language on the page is downright hilarious “11-Layer of Military Grade Authentication”.

It's a hybrid of MVNO and reseller & I can challenge that we can protect. Happy to give you a bounty if you're able to break into the system.

That’s interesting - I wonder how it actually works, other than some hand wavy military technology?

I want to know how it would’ve prevented this social engineering attack

Hey - I am Haseeb Founder of Efani. So we deploy atleast 11 ways to authenticate a user over couple of weeks to make sure that this is a legitimate request + use some manual & automated processes to kill any illegal attempt

I strongly recommend against Family plans because this connects your family to you which makes them vulnerable as well
