New account controls coming soon?

https://www.fcc.gov/consumer-governmental-affairs/fcc-announces-effective-compliance-date-sim-swapping-item

Verizon already has what it calls a 'port lock'.   I have no idea how effective this port lock actually is. If someone can log into your account they can easily turn it off. 

AT&T may have new controls for the account owner which will severely limit what authorized users can do on the account.  Right now authorized users can do almost anything.    This is a good thing.  

Even with these new controls in place. I encourage everyone to read their bill regularly. Especially after there have been any changes or purchases on the account to make sure it's correct.  Mistakes happen. Sales people get " overzealous ".  No one can watch your back better than you can 

🐾 I don’t work for AT&T or any carrier. Former AT&T,  Current Verizon customer.  My replies are based on experience and reading content available on the website. If you posted personal information, please edit and remove.
