The allegation is mobile carriers can't be redirected. Only landline and voip.

Update: So his allegation is there is no reporter supposedly and it's a paid article.

Well that's why I'm pushing back against it. I very much want to know too. So far, given wealthyyy is a 5-day-old account making so many serious accusations of dishonesty [1] [2] against a Vice reporter without a shred of evidence, it should be obvious who has more credibility right now.

I don't give ....

Well what. It's obvious who you are. You are Lucky...

Account age is biased way to trust an individual. I could have bought an old HN account from someone but I didn't.

You accuse people of dishonesty so easily and don't feel any need to show a single shred of evidence supporting your position?

Mr Flow, Please try a TMobile number on ZipWhip. You will see it fails. You will now claim that I am lying and that NetNumber has fixed this. So there is nothing I can do to help you.

I have known about this attack since 2012, but I did not publicly talk about how insecure SMS is for promoting an anti-fraud product.

Note, this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are other attack vectors that only I know!
