So you can allways trust the carriers. So then it's maybe a feature.

I don't think carriers can be trusted per se, but if a carrier wants to interrupt your call, they can just kill the connection.

I trust mine not to brick my smartphone on purpose, at least. Especially not using methods that leave traces of what was done.

  • a bad actor can hack the carrier and brick the phones the same way the fridges were hacked and bricked few weeks ago

    perhaps even a rogue employee

The carrier? You mean the company that actually routes and controls the emergency calls and other calls this DDoSes? And routes and controls all your data transfer and owns the cell towers?

How do you make calls without trusting them?
