Google has a post up on its security blog that is half advertisement and half PSA-style announcement for Android users: go into your settings and turn off the "Allow 2G" toggle. This option, added in Android 12 back in 2021, does exactly what it sounds like: it turns off support for 2G cellular networking. Why would you want to do that? Because attackers are using the insecure 2G protocol to spoof phone numbers and send SMS spam.

Google Sounds Urgent Warning To Kill This Setting On Your Android Phone

Verizon has countered a recent offer from T-Mobile subsidiary Mint Mobile with its own promotional campaign that apparently comes with a 5-year price guarantee. Anyone using T-Mobile’s postpaid service in the United States is being tempted to switch to Verizon’s Visible service in exchange for a lower per-line fee of $15/month. The offer includes taxes and fees and comes with a supposed 5-year price guarantee, but you must bring your own device and commit to an entire year of service. In comparison, Mint is offering $15/month (taxes and fees excluded) with free lines in a time-limited three-month promotional campaign. The campaign is aimed squarely at AT&T and Verizon switchers who bring their own devices and port their numbers over to Mint.
