Security breach on PinePhone UBports SMS
#10
The end of the story: I pulled the SIM, turned off the phone, and sat on things for a couple of days, but I had been having so much fun playing with this thing, I couldn't resist. I put the SIM in, did a full reset on the phone, and lo and behold, I now can receive texts and they aren't being re-routed to somebody else.

I also have not received any phishing-type messages since I restored it.

I'm pretty sure that this was a carrier issue, and not a PP or UBports issue. The SIMjacking possibility is very interesting, and I'll make sure to get a new SIM before I put any sensitive data on the phone.

Thanks for all of the information and advice, I really appreciate it.
