amzn.to/3hCGEmk
Our cell number is tied to everything we do. Most of us have had our cell phone numbers for many years, even decades, and we hand it out to everyone: to merchants, healthcare providers, social media accounts.
That number can become associated to us like a social security number, and it allows all our interactions to be correlated.
We need to ditch the idea that we have just one number our whole lives, that we give to everyone.
In this video we’re going to give an example of a clean up strategy you can use to lock down your existing number, and create multiple VoIP numbers not associated to your real world identity, that don’t tie all your activities together.
00:00 Why Handing Your Cell Number Out Is Dangerous

05:16 New Phone Strategy Overview
05:47 Porting Existing Number to VoIP

08:24 VoIP Communications are NOT PRIVATE
10:10 New SIM
10:26 Creating Multiple VoIP Numbers

Note: The specific products mentioned are available in a few countries including America, but the overall ideas that you should never hand out your cell number, should lock down existing cell numbers by porting to voip, should get a new sim phone number you don't share with anyone, and should only use voip numbers going forward, are universal concepts. Hopefully this video will help you choose the right strategy for wherever you are based!

“So what’s the moral of the story”
*Vice is a subsidiary of the NWO MSM PedoMEDIA EMPIRE*
They did the same exact thing with Sean Penn and the “el guapo”.
great content Naomi, i have been saving important content like this for future reference.
In all instances, i keep running into the same problem; "the chicken or the egg". Say someone wants/needs a fresh start with ZERO exhaust/footprints.. to get a New Email and New Phone number without any history of either or. Its a serious problem...
Now since i worked in I.T. and just want these MegaCorp Aholes to leave me alone and not continue trying to exploit me.. we have to ensure that there is no crosstalk between Corp and Gov. At least some are wise enough to leverage GDPR and make Apple&MS&Google pay for crossing that line. But I will say this. If the WEF and WHO mess around with the Digital Passport, we have to revolt as no one will be safe.
Now, just presume.. i want a new number.. just so I can be on twitter or IG with a clean account and no "identification" needed. VoiP services do NOT work. And if your number is banned there is no appeal process. Previously there were companies and sites that had FREE TEMP LIVE NUMBERS and one could easily use it to create a new account.
That said
4:11 "but that's outside the scope of this video."
And 16:05 "we'll go over that.. in another video.."
I'm getting the vibe that we have too much polish and not enough shine.
That said are (complexity aside) are Twilio and Telnyx End User friendly or are they business oriented only. As their service pipeline does that damned thing where "here is a API stub and call our sales dept today."
Meaning an actual botter could use there service no issue but mere mortals are stuck.
Hopeful mySudo will stick to being good, i'll have to review the EULA.
In summary the stuff you didn't cover.. as in VoiP to Real Cell number. Is what matters.
Ive tried several of these apps for VoiP such as Sideline and Burner. However, none of them worked and WORSE? actually tripled the amount of Spam calls I recieved.
@@tzuedespeaks9092 going into those details is the difference between a 10 minute video and a 5 hour video.
Hackers 508
Thanks to 301
Beau of the 5330
On TH-cam
So long story short.. Someone stole my shoes 508 A knife went missing 301 and took out a phone in my name 5330 without my knowledge or consent. This number might be theirs too ok? Compliments of beau of the fifth on TH-cam. Peace
Where has this video been my whole life! Im sick of getting calls from bots and spam.
Have you thought of getting RoboKiller on your phone
I only give out my phone number when it's necessary (work, health provider, etc.). For social media accounts, I lie about it.
I love seeing the expressions on cashier's faces when they ask "Can I have your phone number?" and I say "No, you cannot.". It never gets old.
Many years ago I got into an argument with a young cashier- the only time in my life- when she demanded my postal code. She would not process the sale and there were a few people in line behind me. Eventually she gave in. This was pre cell phone days. Now, I give my home/voip number with built in caller ID and voice mail.
@@derekmadge why didn't you just give a random postal code instead of yours?
Hallmark stores are bad about this.
It's more polite to simply say "I'm sorry, I don't give that out." One must remember, they are told to ask in their employment. We don't need be rude to them.
My zip code? 12345. Have a nice day.
I probably need this but it sounds insanely complicated. I am totally overwhelmed!
Me too
Same here
Yep
Rob Braxman is a good resource on internet privacy on YT and Rumble
Yeah, this is ridicules! You all want me to use Google for my phone!!!! This makes NO sense!
REEEEEEEEEEEEALLY gonna need that video on how to trick companies into thinking VoIP numbers are carrier numbers.
I've been using a Google voice voip number for 10 years now and it's the best in its class. The big problem with this is that more and more companies are starting to refuse VOIP numbers. And that's when I'm left with only one option, to use my real number.
I've been using a different option. If a company says something silly like "you can't use this number," I send the company a bill for the cost of a number that they like. If they're not paying me enough to support a cellular number that they approve of, they are cut off until they pay up or change their stupid policy. I just had a company that I stupidly gave my number to many years ago, and they just started Texting me again after I told them not to use that number. Don't give these companies your number unless they are paying you.
@@alexanderrogge LMAO what? You send the company that you are signing up to a bill for your phone number?!
@@alexanderrogge yeah,please elaborate on if you've actually had any company pay and how you would even send the bill to them in the first place w/o getting stuck with the bill yourself.
I been in google voice too since GrandCentral days and I’m glad I have. I don’t get those calls or texts on a regular. To overcome the VOIP issue, I been using Office At Hand. Plus it lets me spin up a new number I want at anytime and then close it when I’m done.
@@mildsoup8978 You can start with the cost of buying an additional cell phone number and whatever phone that the company demanding 2FA is requiring. If they don't want to pay, say no. If they insist that 2FA must be used and must use your cell phone, tell them that they may not use your cell phone and walk away. If they demand a USB stick, tell them to pay for it. It is the responsibility of the companies demanding security schemes to pay for and provide the items required. They assume that everyone owns a smartphone that is never used by anyone else, always has the same phone number, and is always attached to the owner, and so they believe that they can use the phones for their own purposes. I recently turned away a retailer that insisted that I must "get the app" to claim rewards points. No! They want your phone number and they want your identity associated with that number. Stop using your cell phone number as a form of identification!
There's a guy in the UK that leveraged this with his electric company whom was known to sell personal phone numbers. He purchased a brand new phone with a new phone number and used it only for his electric company.
He then took the electric company to court. Whenever he has a telemarketer it pays big bucks to keep them on the line. XD
This sounds like a great business model tbh. Just suing the shit out of every company that tries to mess with its user's data.
How is this even plausible? There is just randomly dialing numbers until you get a hit, electric company could just say it must have been random.
@@grandetaco4416 Looks like I posted in error. He's using a premium rate phone number for when he calls the utility companies.
Look up Lee Beaumont. When the spammers companies call in he makes about 10 pence per call. Apparently in 2015 he had made about £2000.
Still keep an unopened burner phone in the glove box, just in case. 😉 Maybe 20 people have my real number and the rest get the VOIP. 🤜🤛 Thanks for the tips as always Naomi.
Thanks for your support 💛💛
Any number other then a regular cellphone number issued by a carrier isn't accepted by many companies including banks. They have systems in place that instantly tell them when a virtual number is being used. Google voice used to be the defacto number but even that isn't being accepted in many places.
I did the opposite. Gave the banks the new real number and gave everyone else the VoIP number.
It’s a shame Google Voice only works in the US (for this purpose). They’re the cheapest because there is no ongoing monthly cost to keep the number active, and they have excellent security options unlike the smaller VoIP providers (who all seem oriented towards offering commercial solutions to businesses, not privacy-conscious individuals looking to hide their location from cell towers).
Really appreciate the effort that goes into these videos.
Even as a cyber security pro, I learn something new with every episode.
Thanks Naomi from a happy subscriber.
I really appreciate that!
@@NaomiBrockwellTV
I'm sorry to bother you but im hoping ok to ask a few Q's? I have been watching your videos as a recent new sub and they are excellent.
Admittedly a lot is going over my head.
I'm possibly getting a new cell. Don't want to say much here.
Is there a possibility to email you, please ?
Again sorry I'm very leary of the constantly evolving scams. I'm taking your advice and not saying too much in comments now. Thx if your respond 🙏
I hope kids learn this stuff! Realistically though, many public schools don't even have private server/school ran email accounts for their students, and kids as young as 6 already have gmail accounts collecting data on them... I highly appreciate your videos, they are extremely relevant to modern times and even the future! (side note, Amish life is looking better every day...)
In the UK email clients for schools are managed by the district council, all schools in a district share the same domain. Which I'm guessing is managed regional government. So this isn't a problem I guess.
That is scary. I only started using email 📧 when I was 14 years old and I’m now 40 going on 41 years old
I agree. Be careful who you give your info to.
I was cyberstalked for months on end with spoofed texts and calls raining down on me. I filed a restraining order and that didn't stop them and they never showed up to court. I filed a violation of the injunction so I hope that does the trick.
Did you know who was cyberstalking you? Couldn’t you you just blocked the number or numbers, I block like 20 number everyday day , and when I looked out them most of them are voip numbers, so criminals can use that tool too , to be untraceable
@Mecambrea77 Yes, I knew the stalker and once confronted, they ran away like a coward.
They suffer from drug addiction, and so I believe they were getting high and sending spoofed messages to me, not really knowing what they were doing.
I reached his parents and let them know their son needed help.
I also reached his job and he quit the job and disappeared.
The stalking and harassment stopped.
Most stalkers are cowards, and once they are confronted, they usually stop.
Blocking doesn't work when they use random spoofed numbers which sucks. That is why I say to never give your real number to anyone unless you know them well.
It nice to see companies like this being started by passionate people.
Thanks Naomi! Another awesome video! Does this privacy rabbit hole even have a bottom!? It impossible to "unsee" all of this. Maybe it's time to be Amish?
one step at a time! Every little change you manage to implement does wonders to helping you protect your privacy, don't feel overwhelmed :)
Funny. An Amish guy did some work at my house and he had a cell phone in his truck. He said that his order can use them for business but they must not be in the house and black was preferred color.

I appreciate the effort in making this video. Your recommendations make sense. But...OMG, procuring multiple VOIP Numbers and sandboxing is quite a heavy lift for most of us Normies.
yeah this video was a lot more complicated for people than anticipated! I might have to take a few steps back and do some videos on the basics first!
Ahhh this all sounded so good. Until I realised the best services are not available in Australia. :(
The essential followup video is advising how to spoof companies that a VOIP is CELL- this is critical info- Banks are very sophisticated and can scour Cell databases at thier disposal. which are updated daily.
Easy. Buy a sim card, port the number to VoIP. Those databases are not all that accurate and most carriers don't send updates on number porting.
Thanks for the video! I appreciate all the work you put into help others to be more private and safe in the digital world
I love these videos! Been using VOIP for awhile but never thought of changing my main number. Love it
Gracias Naomi!
Really appreciate the time and effort on the videos, truly help me to understand and take different approach in many aspects!
Keep it up!
Great working with you, Naomi! Your content is gold. Keep up the incredible effort to educate everyone about data privacy!
Thanks for creating great privacy products that help us all reclaim our digital lives!
Hi, I can only see Canadian or American options on your website. Do you do Untied Kingdom numbers please?
@@Dewsta26 MySudo is currently available in 7 countries with the ability to select a US, CAN, or UK phone number.
@@anonyome Go to your site. Click the hamburger menu. Click plans. Then it gives me two options- Canada or US.
MYSudo App looks great. Unfortunately the subscription cost is about 2.5 times higher than the US here in the UK so will be giving it a miss.
Great to hear this is an option. I've been doing this for a while with virtual cards and encrypted email (where I only use the aliases). But I didn't know it could be done with phone numbers.
I agree with the previous comment 👍 This post and channel are GOLD 💛
great information! and looks like I currently are doing the right thing, as most of the tips you are giving I was already implementing.
This is great info. I don't understand it all but I will keep plugging away until it all makes sense.
Love these videos, this is the way to bring opsec to the masses!
Great video.
Looking forward to how to make a VoIP number work with apps/businesses who insist on a cell number and won't allow VoIP numbers.
I'm honestly waiting to go the VOIP route until I find the most viable solution to companies not accepting VOIP numbers. Paying for multiple phone lines is way to expensive of an option.
Right!
I just give them my old landline number. I'm not expecting a call from them anyway.
I follow you with interest from Romania! For everything you post,I want to thank you!
I really appreciate that!
Great video! Waiting for the follow up on how to use VoIP with places that refuse VoIP numbers.
Brilliant content Naomi, thanks for sharing💚🌍
Very cool topic. I've long wanted a phone number solution like what I have implemented for email addresses, but it's a much tougher problem. Your video goes some way toward addressing my concerns. Still seems cumbersome, but it's good to know this is available.
Really appreciate this information! Also EXTREMELY appreciate the video was produced without any annoying background "musical" track which can interfere with vocals and make understanding more difficult.
Wow, great idea. Thanks for the wonderful content!
If your credit is frozen, it would be pretty hard for someone to open a mortgage in your name.

Love that you are explaining, with knowledge, solutions I awkwardly & ineptly stumble towards as I attempt to put out spitfires. And thank God that scarily naive " if you haven't done anything wrong .." chant is being seen for the crim friendly idiocy it always was.

Why are you so amazing miss Naomi? And yet another very useful video!!!
💛
*****! Best VIDEO and INFORMATION I've seen in years!!!!!
Ty for these information and food for thoughts.
This is a really good process, and I have been using a similar method for several years. BUT, some of these companies are getting wise to this and do allow the use of a VOIP number in their registration process. In which case, you're back to square one. OpenAI is one of those services. It will not accept my VOIP number so....there ya go. One one thing I DON'T want is to give an AI any more of my information than absolutely necessary.
Great content to be shared. Thank you.
Excellent info, thanks.
Very switched on, great channel.
Before cell phones we used to always change our phone numbers whenever needed. You just notified people and that was that.
what?? I'm old enough to remember before cell phones (54yr) and I don't recall anyone changing their phone #. I still know my dad's home phone from the 80's till this day!! Now I did have an uncle who's # change a lot... but he had a "job" that paid no taxes
@@kevcoder You would call your phone company and tell them you need/want to change your number. They would charge a fee. They would ask if you want it listed or unlisted. Unlisted would be an extra fee. Yes you could change your number
@@kevcoder They would also ask if you wanted your calls forwarded, and if you wanted a message telling callers your new number.
@@kevcoder I don't know what your uncle's job would have had to do with it, the phone company would still be in charge of changing the number.
Your number would change if you moved to a new area code, etc. Landline numbers
With so many more numbers now out there, you can't even keep the same number moving within the same city. So irritating if you wanted to keep the same number
Thanks
Naomi Brockwell
Great video. I've been using Google Voice for years now and works great. As you mentioned some companies like PayPal for example will NOT take VIOP numbers. And would really like to know how to get around this.
Thanks Naomi!
Thank you for this.
Awesome content. Thanks
Imagine my shock when the order I placed on Amazon turned out to be from a dropshipper - the parcel arrived directly from China, with my cell number printed right there on the label, for anyone to see. Good times.
Great video I’ll use the info given
find you today, good quality content, and new subscriber to your channel, thank you for your effort
I appreciate you Naomi!
Most of months all the service providers you mentioned only work in USA. Not much use for other countries, but a great video and content.
I’m in Australia and have multiple SIMs with different providers that are not necessarily in my own name. Some providers don’t require you to provide identity at sign up too. I use one number for banking, another one for shipping, personal, have several data SIMs sharing from one account. I only make/receive FaceTime Audio Calls and am generally on WiFi Calling, rarely rely on Cell Tower
But isn't it really sad that we the consumers have to tip toe around scammers and marketing to gain privacy? This is the real issue. Alias emails, alias phone numbers etc is getting really complicated just for sidetracking others that invade our privacy and interfere with their constant marketing. Just leave me alone!
how do you do that so conveniently
Terrific video, as usual, and exactly what I need right now. Naomi, you mentioned at one point that you had another video describing how to get around companies that don't want VoIP numbers from their customers. I have searched and searched and can't find anything that looks like it is this video. Would you please add a link to that video here?

Excellent video!
I will watch the video a few more times.
Very well made. I'm just not as phone savvy as I would like to be.
@@BeADad2447I also need help understanding voip and cell phone SIM cards which I don’t know how to install myself
Thanks for the info! It's certainly something to think about. My current solution is somewhere in between.
When asked for a phone number, I'll usually give my home number, which is VoIP-based through a custom Asterisk instance, where I can put all kinds of filtering to fight spam calls. When the time comes that I no longer have a real home phone, I can keep doing that, but the Asterisk instance will be a voicemail server that can provide a fake ringtone if desired. That server is actually already set up... I use it as a backup for my home system, in case my home internet is down.
The result is that I get a ton of spam calls to my home number, most of which can be filtered so the phone never rings, and the cell phone is quiet.
As much as I'm glad to see the attention to this issue, its out of date by like 3/years. Primary companies already wised up and no longer accept VoIP numbers for verification. This video is vastly out of date. Try to update it and tell is ways to you VoIP that looks and acts like a sim card. 😊
Can you point me to another solution?
Hmmm, I already have half of this... Nice idea about the compartmentalization.
So so important videos .
Now please a deep dive into : Countermail and Tanutu. And other ones relevant to you .
Cheers 🥂
So glad you did this video because Discord require you to store a mobile number if they detect you are using a VPN. They also detect VOIP numbers. So looking forward to your next video on that one.
Discord is literally why I ended up here
eBay is another one that is trying to force users to provide non-voip numbers
@@RecklessFables - Forgive a stupid question, but what is 'Discord'?
@@frostyfrances4700 It’s like Skype but more gamer-oriented
@@frostyfrances4700
It is app on your cellphone, an app or website on your computer.
It also has 100's or more different chatrooms & topics. For ecample there is a section where there are stock market, cooking,.... chatrooms,...
If you sign up to Discord for free you can start a chatroom (I forget the name so I call it a chatroom). You can read & make comnents, like on Twitter, Instagram, here on TH-cam kind of.
Just thinking about how you could totally get the parents on board with the 'different number for school' thing.
The look of utter astonishment and 'you are my hero' when you tell somehow how to turn off all the unwanted app notifications on their phone and then that crestfallen look when they go 'but I can't block unknown numbers because school', having separate 'emergency number(s)' they could keep on while switching other hassles off could be a game changer.
Also empowering for making sure work hours stay within work hours. Even managing voluntary hours, which is sometimes even worse because volunteer jobs don't have work hours.
Also had one time a friend went camping and switched off their phone because they couldn't deal with one side of the family, only to relatedly realise their satellite phone had failed and their emergency back up person and other side of the family were panicking. I showed them how to block everyone but emergency contacts while on silent mode after that but yeah... multiple phone numbers could have been really useful, if only to leave one emergency contact number to their back up person available while still switching the rest of the world off.
Great break down but VOIP numbers aren't useable for all website and services.
I have to say really love your vids I have. I have implemented a few things. Currently de googled my phone
Really glad to hear this!!! One small step at a time!!
Been applying to new jobs for a career change, and exclusively use the house landline, and a burner phone number forwarding service.
all those services will be tied to your landline, which isn't ideal for privacy.
I must use a landline, because there is no mobile phone signal where I live.
Your clothing game is fire 🔥🔥
Some places require non-VOIP numbers. Like Google voice, they check if the number is tied to a SIM and US carrier or not. Would be nice to get a workaround for these sort of checks. Looking forward to your follow up vid on this!
This is the blocker. I DID port my cell to Twilio years ago, then found out pretty quickly all the services that didn't support a "non-approved carrier" number. Ended up porting my number back to my MAGA supporting carrier :p

@@maskettaman1488 keep trolling with your "enriched life"
Cheapest number I've found in US is $5/month with $3 for getting the sim. Only 500 mins/500 texts, but that's more than enough if you're just using it for signing up to websites.

I have just binge-watched three excellent videos, about How Your WiFi Is Betraying You, How Security Keys work (2FA explained) and this one, Getting MULTIPLE PRIVATE Phone Numbers . Great stuff, Well done! thank you for these excallent videos and fot the other ones I am going to watch.
With regartds to this video, I would have loved so see an idea of costs for receiving calls and making outbound calls via VOIP, as I guess unlimited VOIP calls are not included . Perhaps it is something I can ask the VOIP company about .
With mysudo it's unlimited messages and calls at no extra cost
*Thank you!*
Problem is Google as a VoIP provider has been mostly discontinued (Certainly the Google Hangouts Dialer and indeed Google Hangouts has been discontinued in favour of video connections) which brings the question of which VoIP service will continue to be provided over the long term. Yes, we need to separate out our security identification use from normal casual use and this is true for voice phone lines, SMS text messages and for email. I don't think we'll ever completely untangle ourself unless we start really early in life, but we do need to start rolling everything over. Now you usually only get one free phone number per VoIP company and you loose it if you don't use it regularly, sometimes you can subscribe to some service which will keep it live at a cost, additional numbers will of course require subscriptions, you can easily loose track of the phone numbers and wind up with quite a subscription list.
I still remember when businesses would only deal with land line numbers and refuse cell numbers, now it's cell numbers that they want...
They were trying to switch from Google Voice to Hangouts, but I think no one liked it and it was confusing. Now they're discontinuing Hangouts & supporting Voice again. So they're back to were they started which is Google Voice which always worked well and so far is getting better.
@@YourFriendCaspian Seems that Google Voice just says not supported in your country. It did turned out to be installed on all my devices though for some reason, probably because I used to use it, then the hangouts dialer. However, it appears Google Voice just doesn't have the support it once did. Real shame too, there were times when I didn't have my smart phone with a Sim with me, but did have one of my older phones and hence could still dial out through Google Voice and later Hangouts dialer.
I was pleasantly surprised to see Rothbard in your recommended books.
Rothbard is my BAE
One question I'd have is if you can keep a data plan active on a sim without a phone number linked to it. Some companies have privacy respecting service providing (the most recent one I've seen is Purism's AWEsim) with unlimited data, so being able to get a sim without a cell phone number attached, linking the number that would be attached to a VOIP, then using that infinite data sim on your phone would be a pretty killer combination. (especially since it means you could leave your phone's wifi turned off, which is always good since it prevents all the baggage that comes with like wifi probing)
Nice. The more important the privacy the more solutions are possible. Can I buy an entirely new phone that would allow me to have a switch on it that would disconnect the antenna(s) on the phone? Can you do a show showcasing phones that could be directly set to privacy, at times called the dumbed down or weekend phones?
Thank you for guarding us !!
