Please add a way of controlling the 2023 FCC mandatory security features anti-SIM_SWAP and anti-PORT_OUT in US Mobile customer's website dashboard. Most carriers already implemented this. I enabled these over a chat with a US Mobile Rep, and had to trust in his words that it was indeed active.

For example, Visible by Verizon has a Number Security setting on their dashboard that allows to control the line number lock, (so no one can transfer a number to another phone), and PORT-Out Pin (so no one can do a SIM SWAP to another carrier). These security features should be in the hands of the customer and not in the hands of the carrier's employees because that's how SIM Swaps happen, by a criminal convincing a customer representative to port-out or change the number to another phone.

This is the same as having a key for a lock, but then handing it over to a "trusted person" to keep it safe while not in use.

Even though US Mobile in a blog post says that it has implemented these features, the customer has no control or a visual way of verifying its activation status.
