    Once again punishing the users abiding by the law, while rewarding the criminals. What’s new.

    Now wondering what will happen with my 2 Mint Mobile numbers I’ve had for 3-4 years, without making a single phone call. I only use them for internet access.

    How are they going to handle online purchase of phone plans (I’ve bought several that way)? Business VOIP? Robocalls routed through other countries? Answer: it’s not about robocalls.
