Hi,

saw this article on vice.com mentioned elsewhere:

Does anyone know just how feasible that is in Switzerland?

I’m asking from a threat-assessment point of view, not because I want to do it 
myself ;-)

Changing my number from a corporate-managed Orange^wSalt account to another 
corporate-managed Swisscom account took a number of attempts, IIRC (I wasn’t 
too involved).

Does it make a difference if it’s a private account vs. a corporate-managed 
account?

Though, I guess for the intended purpose (taking over accounts secured with 
TFA), the change doesn’t need to stay in place for long - just enough to switch 
the credentials.
