There is this carrier I stumbled upon called Cape, calls itself America's privacy first carrier.

It claims to offer privacy and security and to only store necessary information.

We don’t collect your name, social security number, address, or other personal information. Any data we do receive (like call logs) is deleted after 60 days.

We secure your account against SIM swaps—attacks to steal your phone number and access your accounts—with modern cryptography protocols.

Our proprietary signaling protection blocks attempts by bad actors to intercept calls and SMS via outdated signaling protocols like SS7.

Voicemails can hold sensitive information like 2FA codes. Cape encrypts your voicemails so only you have access to them.

We don’t collect your name or billing address at checkout, and Cape never sees your credit card details.

Anonymous sign-up

They are also partnered with Proton

Here is a detailed list of what data they collect

They are currently offering a $1.50 trial for one month.

The CEO, John Doyle, was a communications specialist in the U.S. Army and worked for Palantir.

The coverage is only in America, I guess it doesn't need to be collected over there

They use Digital Signatures instead of usernames and passwords. Cape employees don't port out numbers and only you can with a 24 word seedphrase you can read more about it here so I guess they are more secure compared to others.

This has to be a joke, what do you mean "just use signal" and "open source" ???

Stripe handles the actual card details, while Cape only receives the token, which cannot be mapped to your real credit card number. Stripe generates a token that is stored on cape's systems to confirm a payment has been made. Cape does not store your credit card number. Cape does not associate tokens to subscribers

Good thing the founding financiers of Stripe, Cape, and Palantir aren't the same person.
