If I use a bespoke phone number and the privacy features on World Mobile Chain, will that help reduce or stop scam texts? Or are they still inevitable no matter what?
Welcome to the community, @oldtoad!
World Mobile does a lot to reduce scam texts, but they aren’t completely unavoidable. Your data isn’t sold or monetized, and the built-in VPN adds extra privacy and encryption. That alone helps a lot compared to traditional carriers.
That said, if you share your number with third parties and agree to their terms, they can still sell your data, which could lead to scam texts.
World Mobile, via EarthNode Operators (ENOs), are working on stopping robocalls and spam texts before they even reach you. So over time, this should improve even more.
