$99/mo (regular price) is pretty high for an MVNO.
I would also check their ToS very carefully for an #BindingArbitration clause or other gotchas. Phreeli, another privacy-first carrier has one in theirs. 🤦♂️
Trying to sign up with a patient portal and it wants my full SSN.
Good flipping grief. NO.
P.S. I was able to just skip the SSN! How about that!
But then it wanted me to accept their TOS with #BindingArbitration. Eff you, I want to talk to my service provider, not install a Harkonnen Heart Plug for an effing corporation.

Blueskyが生み出した、世界一奇妙で意味不明な「拘束力ある仲裁条項」
It was a freebie, and it's decently powerful. 🫢
I think after I gave up trying to resist blasted #BindingArbitration agreements, I got kinda lazy.
Also, I have some decent mitigations on my #Android phone against spywareish apps, now. 🤷♂️
Tangential: I've all but given up on dodging the blasted #BindingArbitration notices.
Even "privacy-conscious" services like @ente and @phreeli have them!
For fork's sake!!!
> sure sue them.
I wonder what percentage of employers now require ruddy #BindingArbitration clauses in their contracts now.
I used to do everything to avoid those.
Now they're basically completely unavoidable.
I was coming very close to switching to Rossmann/Merrill's new #privacy-focused #cellular carrier, #Phreeli, but it has a #BindingArbitration clause, too.
* Long, soul-rattling sigh
So, I guess I'll just switch to #MintMobile instead and pay half as much.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Disney thinks streaming service arbitration clause removes liability for Epcot patron's death 🤦
Soooo...
There doesn't appear to be a single US #cellular carrier that doesn't have a #BindingArbitration clause in their #ToS.
Shazbat. 💢🙄
