I believe the insecurity of SMS comes from the design of mobile network protocols. Not from individual carrier’s implementation.

Can you change online services if you’re that paranoid? Can you compartmentalize in a fashion that if one site is compromised the rest will remain intact? The main services I would be concerned about are financial institutions and the e-mail accounts tied to them. Switching banks in the US is relatively easy. Also, good password practices would limit exposure to risk.
