    “While AT&T and Verizon only provide notice of surveillance of phone lines paid for by the Senate, T-Mobile has informed my staff that it will provide notice for Senators’ campaign or personal lines flagged as such by the [Senate Sergeant at Arms],” Wyden wrote. “Three other carriers — Google Fi Wireless, U.S. Mobile, and Cape — have policies of notifying all customers about government demands whenever they are allowed to do so. The latter two companies adopted these policies after outreach from my office.”

      Sounds less like “protecting your privacy” and more like “letting you know when the government is violating your privacy.”

        As expected. Would like to point out that they were the only ones from the listed carriers that notified all customers, prior to being asked by the Senator’s office.

        Is that what those are called? All the big name carriers are in the NO column. I don’t have experience with those others in the YES column.

          Mobile Virtual Network Operators. They’re only buying capacity on other operators’ networks.
