Happy to see a privacy-focused carrier, and it has better policies than any other carrier out there. But founder is formerly from Palantir and there’s a lot of VC money behind it (not inherently a problem, just flagging).

Thoughts?

    I saw this video on YouTube with a rep from the company and while there were some positive things put forward, the biggest red flag to me was when he wouldn’t disclose what networks they partner with. They are a virtual network so they don’t own the cell towers, and that means they’re running off someone else’s. Why can’t you say who? Other virtual carriers have no problem saying that they run on Verizon or T-Mobile.
