Your phone number belongs to you because of one FCC rule from 2003. Carriers fought it for years. X just rebuilt the phone number without it. The new thing is called an X Number.

That refresh button fixes the phone number's worst flaw. Your real number is permanent, so one data broker leak buys you spam…

X Numbers are here. Share yours with anyone you want to contact you, even if you don't follow them. It's an optional way for people to message or call you, without you needing to accept requests or follow them back. https://t.co/HkObZSQMhm
