I'm glad that some people are thinking about details like this. It feels like the world is increasingly indifferent to scenarios a typical tech worker has not experienced. Someone actually had to stop and think outside of their bubble, or at least convince their colleagues to think outside of theirs. It took some effort to get that approved, no doubt.

What's frustrating to me about your comment is that you and the person you're replying to seem to basically agree on the pertinent points, but you've chosen to make an irrelevant, unfalsifiable semantic argument.

Do those plans even exist anymore?
They're common in Germany, since calls and SMS are rarely used. Mobile data for WhatsApp is far more useful.

I can see some of the other part of the Safe Connections Act being new, but were calls to a domestic violence hotline showing up on consumer-facing cellular (and POTS) records for the last 20+ years?
On cell phone plans that still charge per minute of talk, how is this going to work? Will those carriers make domestic violence hotline calls be free and not count against your total minutes? If not, then won't the resulting discrepancy between the amount of the bill and the number of minutes for each individual call on it make it obvious what happened?
The cost to carriers would be negligible.

Domestic abuser: "I tallied only 748 minutes of calls across these 9 pages, and after subtracting the 500 included minutes in your plan, we were only charged an additional $12.28 instead of the expected $12.40. Explain yourself!"
If you think domestic abusers won't go to these lengths, you must not know any victims.
