Having 5 prepaid phone numbers is a sort of a blessing 1- One for internet 2- One for costumers 3- One for family 4- One for friend and 5- One for annoyances And because I only answer calls most of the time and rarely make calls with approximately 10 dollars a month I keep 4 of them in service only paying more for the SIM in my pocket wifi for internet service. The convenience of having a dumb phone with 4 SIM card slots and using the smartphone without SIM card reduce a lot of big tech spying too.

[@bassmaiasa1312]

For as long as we have the option of using smafos without SIM cards. The noose is tightening around our necks.

Excellent ROB! Thank you. There is a saying i heard a while back from a wise old man . He told me when you really like an item (not a person) get a few. One is NONE Two is One Three is Two. So if you misplace or lose 1 item you have a second in reserve.

This topic about privacy is so dear to me especially experiencing violated laws from my landlord towards my apartment. Privacy is rare in this world. Thank you for the vital content. Can you believe it's O.K. for NYCHA can illegally enter your apartments w/o no permission from the tenant?

[@JEWELZYOUTUBE]

I would get legal advice for this. That's violation of privacy. They should give you 24hr notice of then coming in, unless they think you are breaking the law ofc with search warrant in hand with law enforcement or someone calling to do a welfare check with an officer. I'm interested in knowing this in your state. Let me know. Have a blessed day 😊

I don't know if it's the case anymore, but years ago Comcast required $8 month to not share your VoIP number, name and address with third parties. When you had their VoIP service.

[@313Outlaw]

Many years ago I cancelled my service with them & turned in the equipment, within an hour of being home, my unlisted, non-Comcast phone number started receiving endless telemarketing calls. Prior to that we never received those types of calls. We had to change our phone number soon after. My number was unlisted, I paid for it to be unlisted and we are convinced they immediately published it upon our switching to another cable service.

[@MetroplexAerials]

It’s pretty hard to run a small business well without a public number.

[@RPcropland]

Why not have an office number. I mean most owners I know use multiple or even services like grasshopper to create a separation.

Landlines still exist too. I am unsure if that helps but if it does there you go.

[@BillAnt]

Nowadays you can get an unlimited talk/text cellphone line for around $20/month, perfect as a separate business line, and keep your personal line separate. Also there are free virtual number options like Google Voice, 2ndLine, YouMail, or paid services like Grasshopper, etc.

Using your "real and permanent" phone number and email can be a mistake. Apparently, in some states this information can be obtained from your voter registration or driver's license. I know one of the two DID sell my data, I just haven't been able to confirm which. Yet.

[@SirenaSpades]

Thanks for explaining this better, that it comes in as an app. Sounds great!

[@lyfandeth]

At least when there were White Pages, the phone companies were sharp enough to let you pay an extra fee to keep your number unlisted.

[@Adama-s7u]

I’ve seen a video where they say that companies are implementing backdoors at hardware level, drivers and even hidden OS . They say that privacy war is completely lost due that. What do you believe?

[@utube7917]

If i have a prepaid burner phone, purchased with cash, and i also have a separate unlimited data plan for hotspots from a standard carrier, does the burner phone then lose any of its privacy by connecting to the hotspot, due to the KYC for carriers providing that unlimited data? Is there any way to have unlimited data through a personal hotspot, while also keeping your privacy?

[@robbraxmantech]

Hot spots or LTE Modems are data only. So as long as you use a Virtual Phone then you should be ok

[@utube7917]

@@robbraxmantech i should be more specific and my situation has different issues for each device. When i say hotspot, i am including both hotspots and tethering. i have 3 devices with 3 separate unlimited data plans that allow other devices to connect for data. One is a Samsung galaxy S24 Ultra cell phone, which allows tethering. One is a Netgear Nighthawk hotspot (the newer one). Both are on the At&T FirstNet network used for government employees, hospital staff, etc but 2 separate unlimited data plans, but the one has voice and text. The 3rd device is a Verizon MIFI device that used to be a cell sim card, so i can receive text messages. - I used to use my MIFI texts for 2fa, because it only received texts, but can't send them. The issue with that is the MIFI is using a grandfathered Sim card from a "truly" unlimited and unthrottled plan from like 2006. That sim card was previously in a cell phone linked to my identity. So all the data going through it is probably linked to my identity, right?

[@nphamus09]

Hey RB, Should I use a burner (for 2FA) on my VPN WiFi or via cell service with VPN app???

[@BillAnt]

What the heck if KYC? KFC? lol

[@utube7917]

@BillAnt it's the US "know your customer" laws to exert more tyranny under the typical excuse that they are fighting crime. Similar to CRS, which is common reporting standards used internationally. This way they can track who you are, everything you do, all your money, where you go, what you own, who you know, when, why and how you do things. It gives them your identity that is linked to all of your communications through the phone or internet, financial institutions, etc

SIM swappers need to know your number in order to do the attack. If you Keep your 2FA numbers private from most groups they won't be able to target you. In addition I don't know for sure but I think that some pre-paid pay-as-you-go plans can't even be SIM-swapped because they don't transfer stuff.

No, it's not "just like firearms". Stop trying to crowbar in some wacky justification for guns. Most of the civilised Western World doesn't allow general gun use which means that deaths from shootings are far lower in those countries than in the USA.
