Cape is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) that uses UScellular’s network. But since it runs its mobile own core, Cape says it can control the technology powering the mobile network and “implement protections over what data enters and leaves your phone.” When signing up for the service, Cape says it will ask users for the “minimum amount of personal information” and will store it “for as little time as possible.” The carrier...

First off, the 2025 Kia EV9 GT is a performance version of its three-row SUV, which we first tested earlier this year. This one promises more power and a sportier feel than the version we drove, which bore the GT Line badge but wasn’t specifically tuned for performance.
