I was also wondering this. How often is this information available to apps/websites?

Mint is a mobile carrier so they have this information about your phone.

But is this something only carriers would normally have access to?

I definitely don’t either, but I sense that the email itself is supposed to be the infuriating part here. The scenario is mildly infuriating for sure, but the email itself is still about as good as you can get in my opinion. Quick, clear about what could be hit.
