SMS & Phone Call are mostly redundant

Open leggomyinfo opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

SMS and Phone Call are almost identical in terms of functionality and vulnerability (example). The only meaningful difference I see between the two is "phone call" opens up the possibility of using a landline and avoiding SIM swapping (unless there's a landline equivalent to SIM swapping I'm unaware of).

I don't think this difference / corner case justifies separating the two instead of combining them into a single "SMS / Phone Call" column. Combining them would simplify the visual design a bit and make the other information easier to digest. It also would make the columns more conceptually balanced in terms of their degree of difference from one another.

Food for thought.
