minus-squaretyler@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoOh definitely, but the person I originally replied to asked if they were servers, not real SIM cards.
minus-squaredavidgro@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 day agoThey asked if the numbers were from servers. No, the numbers are fake. The calls may be backed by SIMs, and that is an interesting implementation detail, but doesn’t change how to treat them (which is don’t try to retaliate)
