A phone provider's key goal is to continue to provide charged-for services to their customers, not to secure your bank account or dns registrar account... They'll do whatever's needed to allow paying customers to pay or pay more.

It makes sense : their business it not security. Companies use them for that, and never asked for permission, they don't have to honor it.

Alhough as a customer, I'd like my phones not to be redirect to anybody asking for it, but I understand they don't have the security measures a bank should have.
