[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 1065702, member: 39702"] Just now? SIM swapping was never a thing here in Europe. I literally never heard someone's number was taken over because of strict privacy laws. Here you can't even get a SIM card over the phone; you can only get it by visiting the carrier store. Even when contacting customer service for basics, they'll ask you a million things to verify it's just you. I remember, few years ago when I was still on prepaid. I sent the SMS for activation of internet package, and I accidentally did it twice; so I paid two times. Called the customer service and I was surprised as they asked me when was the last time I topped up the balance, with how much and what is my current prepaid balance. [/QUOTE]
