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Our proprietary signaling protection blocks attempts by bad actors to intercept calls and SMS via outdated signaling protocols like SS7.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?
Looks interesting, but it’s the first time I’ve heard of them and I’m wary about the CEOs ties to palantir and the fact that its a US-based company. I’ll wait for others to do some deeper research into the company first.
Signal is also US-based and Cape is literally a carrier with coverage only in America. I found one of there employees that previously worked 9 years with DuckDuckGo and is now working with Cape.
