Re: VZW helps government with tool that helps spoof cell towers said by rugby:I'm ready to jump ship to TMobile when my contract for 5 lines is up in October. I love Verizon's service, however my bill is over $300/month and will be 2/3 of that with TMobile.
Plus throw in the security problems you mentioned and I'm done.
I just did a test checkout just to see how much of a difference I would pay with 6 lines on T-Mobile.
I added 5 lines to T-Mobile all lines with unlimited data is 310$ without taxes, so guessing with taxes about 330$ , so let's say we add 6th line that is 360+taxes about 370?. I pay 398 to Verizon for 6 lines with 12gb of shared data , yes T-Mobile is little cheaper but that extra few $$ goes for quality of service. |

Verizon Wireless helps Government with Spy Tool that Spoofs Cell Towers
»www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/0···ay-case/
"Rigmaiden maintains that in order for the stingray to be able to collect location data from his air card, Verizon Wireless had to write data to the air card consisting of: identifying information for the FBI's emulated cell sites; as well as make configuration changes that would cause the air card to recognize the FBI's emulated cell tower as an authorized tower for providing service and cause the air card to attempt connections to the emulated tower prior to attempting connections with actual Verizon Wireless towers.
The FBI technical agents needed Verizon Wireless to write data to the aircard in this manner because the aircard's properly configured Preferred Roaming List prevented it from accessing rogue, unauthorized cell sites; such as cell site emulators used by the FBI, Rigmaiden wrote in a court document."
Anyone else need a reason not to use an Aircard much less drop Verizon Wireless or hell even not have a mobile phone after reading this? |
