Why does your landing page say "100% guaranteed protection" and then follow it up "$5 million in insurance against losses due to SIM swaps"? It directly undermines the 100% claim.

Because “100% guarantee” doesn’t actually mean anything i.e. they have protection in some shape or form.

It's just an additional protection top for peace of mind.

It's like We guarantee it and you get upto $5M

It sounds like they're giving a $5M guarantee that you won't be sim swapped.

it's additional protection and helps with the liabilities

When I was SIM Swapped 4-times, I only got a courtesy call saying Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I thought having $5M Insurance on top of guarantee will be better

Will you pay out in the event that SS7 is compromised, as opposed to your support people giving the swap to a random attacker?

I think this is cool, but also think it's important to be clear what's being offered.

We do have SS7 level protection but we're unable to offer it to consumers.

About insurance, it's limited to Sim Swap/Port outs
