What? Lol.
So, how is this supposed to work? From what I can gather at a quick glance it appears to be a VPN of some sorts but for cellular data?
They offer IMEI spoofing, geofenced profiles, etc. It would function better than a VPN in theory.
You get you phone number through them and they act as your carrier and then they use other telcos that have the physical infrastructure to service calls/data. Not that different from how Mint or other virtual networks operate, but Cape alleges to collect little data about its users and not to sell any user data.
