Great insights re the divorce of numbers, carrier, and phones.

I like them both. Although the chatGP one is more concise, yours is more personable. I do think the chatGP one hits most points more clearly. It’s not quizzical about what the future might hold, and it addresses the main point which is really international calling. As someone who goes abroad often and has had to deal with 2 phones and several SIM cards for another country(ies)… I think that’s the main thing. Carriers allowing a person to use his cell as a sort of an IP address is more what you alude to. The phone should just be like your IP but you should be able to have another way to call that would work across platforms like a url that would be DNS’d to your number. Or something along those lines. We’re getting close to that being feasible technically and politically.
