while this is cool, i am suspicious/skeptical of this service. besides what others have commented on...
this is service that manages some user data (names, phone numbers, etc.) so that is in itself a privacy/security risk
phone providers can probably tell when you're communicating with/accessing the service
if people know you, or know you have this, it can make targetable or your phone confiscated, etc.
adds extra time delay potentially, depending on your phone service signal strength. can possible lose more than one is willing if a transaction is bottlenecked by poor phone signal, on top of slow internet from the service-side
this as an additional layer against internet outages doesn''t guarantee much. if internet goes out, likely satellites go out too, which would include phone services
my biggest hesitation with this is sharing my personal details with a company that centrally stores everyone's information (to my knowledge based on this video. until i'm shown otherwise)
