The FCC has made this available free to prepaid and postpaid phone accounts.

Anyone here activated this yet ? Any downsides to activating this ?

I have just added in Port Out Protection to my mobile phone line as well. Both port out and sim swap protections are free and active. Time to get free extra protections is done here.😀

From my carrier account sim swap can be toggled off by principal line owner to put sim in new phone yet port forward to change carriers with mobile phone number requires a call in to carrier once active.

I see what you're saying. The FCC with these rules have put the carriers and customers on notice to halt it and made it free. Most if not all of these scams start with the carrier so these new rules make this legal protection rather than carrier policy protection that may not be in effect. The holes if any are plugged by the little Dutch boy who has 10 fingers, lol.
