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.

I also have a paid, parked, Internet SMS number. The entire industry got together, decided that we are not allowed to send SMS messages anymore, and offered plans to pay $20 a month to use a SMS TEXT number that we're ALREADY PAYING FOR.
They are literally converting a free service that has been free since forever, and arbitrarily adding mail servers to their blocklist for no reason. Then they are taking the paid service, and saying, pay us $20 more per month for your SMS, and we'll let you actually use it. Thieves, all of them.
