There is this carrier I stumbled upon called Cape, calls itself America’s privacy first carrier.
It claims to offer privacy and security and to only store necessary information.
We don’t collect your name, social security number, address, or other personal information. Any data we do receive (like call logs) is deleted after 60 days.
We secure your account against SIM swaps—attacks to steal your phone number and access your accounts—with modern cryptography protocols.
Our proprietary signaling protection blocks attempts by bad actors to intercept calls and SMS via outdated signaling protocols like SS7.
Voicemails can hold sensitive information like 2FA codes. Cape encrypts your voicemails so only you have access to them.
We don’t collect your name or billing address at checkout, and Cape never sees your credit card details.

They are also partnered with Proton
Here is a detailed list of what data they collect
They are currently offering a $1.50 trial for one month.
The CEO, John Doyle, was a communications specialist in the U.S. Army and worked for Palantir.
Thoughts?
It would be the first ever telecom honeypot. Even if it was a honeypot, nothing sufficient can be collected and it would not make sense to waste so much resources on an entire telecom company for no info. Just does not make sense
Don’t be paranoid whenever you stumble upon a privacy company because If everybody doesn’t trust a decent privacy focused company like you, the company will fall. You can’t just assume something is a honeypot because of small details.
