For Verizon you can do it in the app too! For customers not using it, it will often show up on the Home Screen as a tile and you can toggle it on for each number or you can go to Account -> Edit Profile & Settings -> Number Lock and enable it there
eSIMs aren't going to prevent this looooooooooooooool, SIM swap scams work on esims as well. Service on an esim can still be transferred out to another phone. Scammer just has to call your provider, say they lost their phone and give a sad sob story till your carrier agrees to transfer the service from your eSIM to another sim for the scammer lol
Here in New Zealand this feature is automatically added for eSIM and you can only transfer an eSIM to a new device by going to a providers store and asking them to do it for you
When I go to my T-Mobile settings, I get to MORE, but that's as far as I can go. There is no "PROFILE SETTINGS. Just HELP & SUPPORT, MANAGE MY DATA, AND PRIVACY & POLICIES. I'm on a galaxy s21 ultra
This is helpful. However, don’t feel too safe still. The bad guys have ways to get your calls and texts forwarded to another number without doing a full sim swap. Plus, they can also sim swap within the same carrier and account with the assistance of rogue/paid off carrier employees and social engineering.
If this is done on the primary account holder's account, does each individual user in the account have to do it as well, or does it automatically apply for all?

That's precisely the vulnerability problem - someone in a store being able to do it. You don't want that. Low paid employees are too easily bribed.
Verizon wireless number lock IS enabled, but if it isn't it starts at 3:17
Will this functionality be coming to MVNOs like visible and Mint? I want to protect myself and family
Just looked in Mint app & it's there.
Mint has it

Thank you. Mine is locked now.

People begged the auto manufacturers to add more tech to their new car offerings... Now your car also have a SIM card. Satisfied yet? SMH
