How can I protect my Verizon phone from unauthorized phone number porting to another carrier by an attacker ?
For example T-Mobile and ATT provide protection by requiring a "port validation" code.
This prevents an identity thief from causing your phone to go dead while they use your phone number for SMS-based further account destruction.
