Can You Actually Have a Private Phone Plan? w/ Ruddy Wang - Head of Consumer at Cape
Q: How does the referral program work and is it sustainable long-term?
Referrals reduce price: $99 down to $50 via a $20 reduction per referral, with the discount potentially continuing if people stay and refer others; however, the company notes the model may be temporary for early adopters while remaining around in some form.
Can You Actually Have a Private Phone Plan? w/ Ruddy Wang - Head of Consumer at Cape
Q: What makes Cape different from a typical MVNO?
Cape is a heavy MVNO with its own mobile core, allowing more control over data retention (e.g., 24-hour call logs) and stronger privacy protections than light MVNOs.
