    "email us for a chance to win a free trip to Switzerland"

    A chance to win is not enough motivation for me to actually write the email. I would assume it was simply an opportunity to collect email addresses, so I (personally) am not to likely to email them even if I did fully read their privacy policy.

    The implication here is kind of funny in that even if you do write legal stuff in language that your customers can understand, most of them still won't read it. And to be fair, I'm guilty of this more often than not.

      "This is just a common publicity stunt."

      "No, it is an exceptional publicity stunt."

    > In 2024 alone, the FCC fined major U.S. carriers $200 million for illegally selling subscriber location data.

    Was that "you didn't put that in your privacy policy" or "your policy is illegal"?

    Smart PR move and motivation to read more privacy policies.

    Looks like they only offer one plan, $99/month, which is pretty steep but must offset what other carriers make selling customer info. That's about double what I'm paying now but I do like the idea.

      That's more than double what I'm paying for 3 phone lines now.

    No one reads the fine print as they need the service.

      I read the fine print and plenty of others do too. Corporations have convinced people they're powerless and illiterate when they're usually not.

      Maybe you don't.

      Some put off using the service and look for alternatives for as long as possible (often ever) if they're presented with tomes of legal documents to accept
