The worst part is that even if you go through all the steps, you end up with a private phone that can't really do anything or else you get compromised. For us to reclaim our privacy, the entire system, the apps, cellular network, wireless connection, the entire web would need to be fundamentally rebuilt with focus on privacy and then be able to compete against superior prioprietary solutions that get their advantage from collecting data and other shady/malicious functionalities, drive all the customer interest to that new privacy focused system and then we would need to make sure it stays that way in a world where 95% people don't care about their privacy at all.

Yes, it's infuriating how every normie that you talk to about this topic will eventually say something like "I have nothing to hide anyway", but it's not true and we all know it's not true, everyone has some kind of private information that the wouldn't want shared.

The only things stopping me from not bothering with phones at all are 1. 2FA 2. If my car breaks down I need a way to call assistance. I could just keep a prepaid phone under the seat I guess and have it turned off until needed. 3. Mom & Dad.
for 2fa/mfa, use an android virtual machine (that means "emulator" if any normies are reading this) on a PC or even on a pre-m1 mac (one that has an Intel chip). P.S., for any normies reading who are about to type "but it doesn't have a phone number for 2fa!!" you'll have to use app authentication MFA, not SMS MFA, obviously, but app authentication is far more secure anyway and can be done on a wider range of devices and without tracking by google/microsoft/apple. P.P.S. (edit): actually, I just remembered, there may be browser-based android VMs that can be used on newer macs, but the privacy/security is questionable; also, at least in my case, Aptoide doesn't seem to work on my m1 mac anymore; so, overall, my original points still apply. I hope this advice helps.

It's horrible how much effort is now required just in order to practice the rights we're already supposed to have. As much as how everybody seems to put up with this level of intrusion in personal life that the big tech companies and governments are responsible for.
To be fair the whole system generates personally identifiable data, what governments do with cell phones is sniff logs and make it mandatory to have ID to get a SIM card in some places, if they didn’t do that it still wouldn’t be very secure or anonymous…
Just a note to others that (most) forms of satellite radio don't have a privacy risk as he alluded to. They are transmit-only schemes where the satellites have no idea where you are and just transmit decryption keys to you based on the key baked into your receiver.
Make one silly move, From they got your phone number and your phone is on, You’re over with, happend to my friend before, Every cell tower you pass they know you’re in that area, so they just narrow it down real quick.
@@keylanoslokj1806 no, the video briefly mentioned satellite radio, and it being a privacy risk. I was just correcting that section. I agree with 100% of the rest of the video in regards to cell phones.
Nobody is tracking you in real time, it's too expensive. Average traffic for the user now reaches 50-200GB per month. 1 minute of the call is nearly 5 megabytes. Imagine storing all of that just to know you got nothing. In most cases it's only possible to get in court with some kind of evidence provided by big tech + billing with few calls. American government spent their money on management raises, not the actual hardware or software. Cherry picking was the key and it works. It's much easier to produce mass trash traffic with seal and doggo videos traffic and calls to your parents, leaving phone on the table at home if you're planning to hide somewhere, launching youtube on pc and autoplaying videos. In that case you have stronger evidence of presence for the court than spending enormous amount of time trying to hide. Plus if you remember 2016 Comey was 100% sure he was safe when talking to other people and he still got caught easily by advancing technology, he was using old "safe" channels to communicate.
@@stryderx1 calls use ungodly compression. It's much less than 5mb. But yes they don't store data. Only metadata. Which is trivial in size. Stuff like dns queries for the internet and location data for phones. That's just text. Costs nothing to store. If you want proof that they're doing it: in may 2020 italy decided to go back and see records for the year to see how effective lockdown was at keeping people inside. They didn't start recording after the fact, because they had the data going back to the previous year. They're always recording location data on phones. Maybe aggregated maybe not. But i assure you that taking records of location data once every 15-30 minutes is extremely easy. It's just text that can be easily compressed down to 10% size or less. The storage requirements are tiny (for a corporation/state entity) for years worth of metadata. And metadata is more often than not where the juicy things are. Like exif metadata on a picture. The picture is what you want, the exif metadata is what the state would want
Worked at a telecom company for 5 years, learnt all I needed to learn about data privacy there. I basically have 20 sim cards that I switch in and out every 7 days. All registered using different names. Used senior and junior level access from different users to create these as I didn't want my own user account to be tied to any of them(these people don't even try and safeguard their credentials) Purchase prepaid data from vendors across the city and such. Is fun because everytime I move to another company and they request phone records all they see is random data with no definitive things standing out.
This type of invasion used to be against the law and is actually still unconstitutional in so many ways. We, the people, need to make a stand for our rights.
Once you have used a phone thats tracked to your name they have your voice. They can identify you ANY WHERE your voice is heard. They can also use your voice in calls to others
It is increasingly difficult in the UK to get prepaid phones. Typical way is to buy cheap handsets from supermarkets or Argos. SIM cards can be got for £1 from places like Poundland. Main issue is that all networks "pre-enroll" you to pay monthly, so you have to keep topping up your account each month. You can get top up vouchers from supermarkets and convenience stores. Like everything in the UK, the government are trying to make it illegal to buy a phone without showing ID.
@@ZGFyZG8g even worse in germany. You have to show ID to buy a sim and then to activate it the carrier wants your address, they send a letter to you with a code that can be used to finally activate your phone.
If one were to follow someone around, watch them inside their house, etc... they'd go to jail or at least get a restraining order. We need to tar and feather people who do the digital equivalent of that.
Phones are inherently intrusive due to how they operate, so it's best just to keep the privacy and security at a reasonable level and separate your public and private life.
Another good tip... Watch out for CCTV. If you have no choice to buy from a vendor that has CCTV, then don't use the simcard or phone for six months. Don't even put it on. Secondly, when you go buy phone and SIM, leave your phone at home, as it can be tracked. If you have a modern car it probably has GPS tracking as well, so use the public transport if you can. And NEVER turn the WiFi or Bluetooth on. Like never. My private phone actually had me open it up and physically damage the WiFi and Bluetooth chip. But do that at your own risk.
Yeah... this is legit the hardest part of going private but being connected irl. Hard to live without my super cheap employee discount unlimited data 😭

I served on jury duty; how much info the PD's divisions can dig up on someone is mind-blowing. They are incredibly sophisticated. I always considered them like the Keystone Cops, but this couldn't be farther from the truth.
Might have to go off the grid at this point with shit like Amazon's SIdewalk service keeping their devices literally always connected and transmitting data to their servers if they're even close enough to another compatible device.
I remember about 5-6 years ago trying to use my iphone in Manhattan for GPS and it would always think I’m on the wrong block or a street over. Now it’s always super accurate.
Honestly I've never cared enough to do all those steps to protect my data because it was never really used actively against you but as that is changing with things like changing credit scores based on the content of your private messages probably will become more common these kind of steps will become essential

@@Ypog_UA You won't be able to separate yourself from technology unless you completely isolate yourself in the forest for the rest of your life. And honestly, what kind of life is that? I totally understand your desire to go off the grid, I can definitely relate, but it's becoming more and more difficult to live a life worth living while also swearing off tech. You'd literally need to become Amish and become self-sufficient living on a farm, and even then, the city roads will still have cameras and satellites will still be able to see your property. I understand how you feel though, I feel that way about cars - I've always been a computer guy but the computerization of cars is making me want to protest anything newer than a 2006 and just drive something from the 1960's that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I have 100% complete and total control over. I want to know with certainty that my car isn't connecting to the internet and updating itself, and I absolutely don't need my car pulling me over when a cop turns on their lights behind me, or the vehicle's GPS tracking me, or self-driving camera tech recording everything it sees. The only problem is, newer cars are dramatically safer and older cars will become less and less reliable by the year as more and more miles are put on them by their current owners. They'll become more and more scarce until it is cost prohibitive to have a purely mechanical car. Or, more realistically, it will become illegal to drive a purely mechanical car, for "safety" reasons. It really is some Orwellian 1984 Big Brother type shit our society is heading towards. Not even heading "towards," though, because we've already got our foot in the door. We're going to be tracked and monitored 24/7 in every facet of our lives until 1. we have an armed uprising, 2. a solar coronal mass ejection wipes out 99% of earth's tech infrastructure, or 3. our species is eradicated either by its own stupidity or a random cataclysmic event like an asteroid or gamma ray burst.
Kek, no kidding. Time to invest in tinfoil, soon enough they have the tech to read your brain through your phone. I fucking hate this timeline so fucking much FUCK
The problem with used phones is that you have no idea what kind of questionable activities the previous owner could've been involved in. The phone could be secretly tracked in an official investigation without your (or the previous owner's) knowledge, and then you are caught up in that dragnet.
The feds will know if the phone was invloved in illegal activities, and if you bought it off of craigslist 2nd hand, thr most they might end up doing is seizing it. But yes the tracking part would fuck things up.
as a teen i had a lot of times my imei read by police in a stop, i wasn't doing anything wrong they just thought i might have stole it since up until 2015 there weren't any safeguards in android phones that prevented you from getting away with stealing someone's phone. these days they are not doing it anymore or atleast i haven't heard of it happening
You should add "in the USA" to the title, because for example in Poland it's nigh-impossible to do so due to the mandatory prepaid card registration that includes stuff like your name and your PESEL (PESEL is roughly like the US SSN).
Well, this is very good for improving privacy and hiding your private data from tech giants. However, hiding from the government wouldn't be 100% guaranteed. As long as the phone is at a place where it's there for most of the time then that place would be considered as your main residence place aka your home. This would make it easier for the government to track you since the cellular tower you connect to most of the time is known. This leads to the feds being able to narrow down your location and make them able to set up IMSI catchers and scan the whole area. They will be able to narrow down the location of the phone to a small area and from there try and do more stuff to find you. However, this scenario applies to people who are on the top of the wanted list and worth the effort.
@Alb Don Yeah and hope you have a good social score so papa China doesn't f**k you... You forgot the main point of doing this which is liberty.. You want us to live in a shit distopian world just like 1984 no wonder the government doesn't want a second George Orwell
But still they will know the general area you live and where you go based on where the phone is when you do use it (hypothetically), even if you only take it out of the faraday cage to use it. This is why we must return to monke
While there are USB modems which can take a sim card, you would need to isolate the host device which you are connecting the modem to in order to maintain the level of OpSec he described. I can't find any USB-C or micro-B modems, only USB-A. It seems like Huawei modems can make (and possibly receive) calls through the COM port and another program. However, all modems, both embedded and external (and don't use CDMA because that uses an MEID), require an IMEI from the device and the IMSI from the sim card. I'd imagine obtaining the portable modem surreptitiously and maintaining the level of security while connecting it to an existing device would be much harder than getting some $50 used phone in another city. I also don't know what information these programs would need to send through the modem to initiate the connection. If you just need to make calls and texts, your best bet is a feature phone from the gas station bought with cash dressed in aviators and a siege mask.
There are the Linux phones (Phinephone whatever) with physical switches to turn off the communication devices. But even that is not optimal. Better ditch the phone and have a laptop or something with you. But then your down to mails etc. It is like we are being fooled into having tracking devices on us 24/7. And not knowing it.
NEVER call 911 from your cellphone unless YOU (or child etc I guess) will 100% die if you don't.

Or you could just ditch your cell phone, or keep one for only what you need and keep that in a faraday cage most of the time. The problem is more than just that our digital lives are tracked, it's that too much of our lives are digital.
Basically all prepaid phones make you pay monthly or yearly now. I've looked into it. Cause I don't use data often. I still have to for the service yearly even if I have a bunch of extra minutes still... When I was younger you bought the phone and could just add minutes when you need them. No subscription needed.

Also, if you have a newer phone that supports esim, you could get multiple networks operational on the phone, so you could confuse the glowies by swapping back and fourth. Or alternatively, you could illegally operate an LTE network you built yourself in order to be the only person on that network, therefore you would control all traffic in or out of the device.
I would rather go late 80s or early 90s. All the computer crap began around 94, if you want to avoid computers in general. I don't remember which year exactly. I don't know when the tracking began, but probably in the 2000s, I assume. Anyway, if it's from the early 90s and made in Japan, it's probably good.
@@censoredterminalautism4073 Tracking? Cars? I mean sure today cars do that. But around 90s the only computers where the engine and what? ABS? And there are real merits to have the engine managed by computers. But around 2000-2010 it turned into a shit show. And 1990-2020 computers was trying to cheat there way around emissions ruining engines. So if anything you at best should delete any emission stuff. But that is actually agents the law and do pollute more. But there are some emission stuff down right stupid that wear the engines out faster. But today the damage is done already. So kinda pointless. All in the name of convenience. And "saving the planner" by cheating or doing some stupid shit to get to that goal. Like putting excuse gas back into the engine and making it EVEN more dirty and such. Hurting and clogging up the internals. Or now in modern day stop and start systems wearing out the engines faster. Just to cheat MPG and emission numbers.
I always thought that we can make the internet censorship-proof & privacy-respecting But, what about the access??? We need to be able to make our own connections to the internet easily for free without ISPs Since, IoT is becoming more invasive& forced down our throats
in France, there's LycaMobile which is pretty much available to buy everywhere you go, they give you SMS+Calls and some gigabytes of data for cheap (cheapest plan is ~10€), heck, even in some weird barber shops. Cheapest plan: - 4,99€ a month for 3 months then 9,99€ a month - 20 GB of data - Unlimited SMS & Calls - Free international calls to 50 places (incl. US, UK, Canada, China) - UE Roaming You can also use the xPrivacyLua XPosed module to spoof and/or disable sensors. For XPosed, I recommend using these Magisk modules: - Riru - Riru - LSPosed (XPosed replacement) and other essentials such as: - Busybox for Android NDK - ExSDCard Access Enabler
If companies were personally liable when they use less than adequate security measures with their databases and our data is stolen, it would get buttoned up real quick.

Honesty with all the limitations and how easy it is to get found might as well not carry a phone. I’d imagine if you do this and say give a family member a ride they’ll see the two phones and be able to establish a connection that way as well. Lots to think about.
Not sure if this is sarcastic way of telling ppl that staying anonymous basically means not using any modern tech features or just regular video. If it's case 2 then you forgot about voice modulation. Your voice is something like your fingerprint and can be easily analysed from frequency spectrum.
And my question is, what do you use this phone for? If you use it for your private life, well it'll be extremely difficult since it's gonna be down most of the time. Also if you use it to call your friends and family I don't think it'll be that hard to track you back since their phones probably are very low on privacy and have access to the call history. I don't see the point on having a private phone unless you're on the run, trying to avoid a stalker, protect yourself from a dangerous situation, etc. What are the non illegal uses for a private phone like this that it makes it worth keeping? I'm really interested in your answers.
Always good to have some phones. If ur legit as legit it still stops u from being harassed all the time, stalked scams irs harassment calls etc etcn lets u leave business/work or acquaintances out of ur personal chill time when u want
In our country, Philippines they passed a law called sim card registration which requires you to give your ID to them and put it in a database. I always warned people but they just said that its for scammers. 😢
i feel like once you go through all these steps, particularly the private operating system ones, you become part of a smaller more easy to track network because 1. how many people have the privacy consciousness and competence to do all this, there's probably less than 10 million devices doing this globally 2. now instead of being lumped in with the same clustered tracking as everyone in the world (and this tracking is facilitated mostly by companies with financial incentives, but certainly also sick perverted interests here and there) youre part of a more distinct and relatively small group of people who are trying for whatever reason to escape this system. 3. these operating systems and phones could all be riddled with spyware from the exact people youre trying to esape from, particularly gov entities, but even without that, if youre trying to access the internet then phones and all computer devices themselves are inherently insecure since you do have to connect to a greater centralized network to do what you want to do
This just popped up on my feed very interesting stuff Good information but again we’re always connected n there’s no privacy at all anymore…doing all these thing’s really is to no avail….good luck everyone N merry Christmas
And this is why almost all phones ,you can't disconnect battery. I would also add that if you have both phones with you,when you shut your old phone off,and wrap in foil. Change physical location by a good distance before turning on your de- googled phone. Where I work in remote locations,it's likely I'm the only phone for many miles. Wouldn't be difficult for the MAN to figure out what's going on. Damn cell phones anyway!
Having 2 smartphones, private and public: Public: -calls from companies that already have the data -using for social media accounts -potentially using at home with home wifi (as private shouldn't be considered using) -everything that private phone won't do . Private: -covering in tinfoil so it can't be found -Sim card with no internet data to rarely call relatives -fear of accidentally fucking up privacy
So basically if we are required to register the SIM card with our full name and an ID card, we're screwed :q It's terrifying however when you think how many people don't take even the simplest measures to keep their privacy.
In my country, the introduction of an ID law on SIM cards led to two developments: One, a somewhat flourishing grey market of grandfathered cards activated before the law came into effect. You also had to provide a name and address under the old legislation, which however nobody has verified and that are often fakes. Two, vendors on marketplaces like eBay popping up mass-selling prepaid cards already activated under their own identity, just barely begging that you re-activate them as soon as possible. Also, things like harmonized EU roaming which allows you to get a number in a country like the Netherlands without such restrictions and use such a card mostly like a domestic one (with certain limitations e.g. on mobile data), at least where a foreign number is accepted.
@@D0Samp Unfortunately it won't work in my country, because even if you have an old SIM card, they deactivated it in 3 months after the regulations have been introduced, and now you _have_ to register it with your full name or else it isn't accepted by the network. Another thing is that more and more cellphones have the so-called eSIM (embedded SIM), which is basically a SIM card chip soldered directly to the motherboard of your cellphone, and you can't even swap it. It's pinned to your device forever. The operator can reprogram it remotely when you register in order to connect you to the network, but you can't. They basically own you, whether you like it or not, and if you don't, you don't have access to the network. And you need the access to the network if you want to use your bank account etc., because now, "thanks" to EU regulations, you can't have a bank account if you don't have a cellphone. They require it to open an account, they require it to log in, and they require it for money transfers.
@@justamango942 Yes. Wecome to the New World Order :q And if you don't have that in your country, you'll probably have it soon too. They introduce such bullshit here and there so that people implementing the "not on my backyard" approach didn't figure it out until it's too late.

Here in serbia you can just go to any kiosk and just buy a sim card for like 4 or 5$ witha weel of free internet and phone calls, and you can just pay cash to add credit on it, thats what i have been doing for the past 8 years or so.
They can’t after the contract is up and it’s long been expelled out their plan, so when you buy unlocked rather than locked to whatever cellular towers the prepaid carrier is based off of.
I love how people actually pretend to think that the corporations who manufacture the very devices they use won't track and examine them. It's almost like having a mafia member living next door and thinking they're no threat whatsoever..
making sure4your phone doesn't connect to your home wifi is pointless... The network adapters of the phone will ping your router and vice versa just as a result of being in the vicinity... this is how they can triangulate your device even if it is turned off.. buy a phone with a removeable battery if you can find one
man I've got myself a dumb phone approximately 1 week ago because I was getting listened wayyyy more than I usually am. this morning yt recommended this video 💀 it's not a conspiracy, it's real.
So, if the cell company sees a new phone on its towers that it doesn't have a profile for, that's not going to send up a flag after few weeks? Also, the meta data from using the phone normally would show up pretty quickly. A good video none the less.
Realistically, the best way to hide is to blend in, a.k.a doing good opsec and feeding the databases with enough selected info so it doesn't look suspicious.

You can use a Yubi key to get around 2FA
for 2fa/mfa, use an android virtual machine (that means "emulator" if any normies are reading this) on a PC or even on a pre-m1 mac (one that has an Intel chip).
P.S., for any normies reading who are about to type "but it doesn't have a phone number for 2fa!!" you'll have to use app authentication MFA, not SMS MFA, obviously, but app authentication is far more secure anyway and can be done on a wider range of devices and without tracking by google/microsoft/apple.
P.P.S. (edit): actually, I just remembered, there may be browser-based android VMs that can be used on newer macs, but the privacy/security is questionable; also, at least in my case, Aptoide doesn't seem to work on my m1 mac anymore; so, overall, my original points still apply.
I hope this advice helps.

How to save money using stolen credit cards
It's horrible how much effort is now required just in order to practice the rights we're already supposed to have. As much as how everybody seems to put up with this level of intrusion in personal life that the big tech companies and governments are responsible for.
To be fair the whole system generates personally identifiable data, what governments do with cell phones is sniff logs and make it mandatory to have ID to get a SIM card in some places, if they didn’t do that it still wouldn’t be very secure or anonymous…
Most people have no idea about the risks _or_ the importance of not sharing all your personal details with the government.

How to use a phone privately
Step 1: Don't. Don't ever use a phone and you won't be tracked using it. That is the only 100% effective solution
Abstinence be like
use a brick
Nobody is tracking you in real time, it's too expensive. Average traffic for the user now reaches 50-200GB per month. 1 minute of the call is nearly 5 megabytes. Imagine storing all of that just to know you got nothing. In most cases it's only possible to get in court with some kind of evidence provided by big tech + billing with few calls.
American government spent their money on management raises, not the actual hardware or software. Cherry picking was the key and it works.
It's much easier to produce mass trash traffic with seal and doggo videos traffic and calls to your parents, leaving phone on the table at home if you're planning to hide somewhere, launching youtube on pc and autoplaying videos. In that case you have stronger evidence of presence for the court than spending enormous amount of time trying to hide.
Plus if you remember 2016 Comey was 100% sure he was safe when talking to other people and he still got caught easily by advancing technology, he was using old "safe" channels to communicate.
@@stryderx1 calls use ungodly compression. It's much less than 5mb. But yes they don't store data. Only metadata. Which is trivial in size. Stuff like dns queries for the internet and location data for phones. That's just text. Costs nothing to store. If you want proof that they're doing it: in may 2020 italy decided to go back and see records for the year to see how effective lockdown was at keeping people inside. They didn't start recording after the fact, because they had the data going back to the previous year. They're always recording location data on phones. Maybe aggregated maybe not. But i assure you that taking records of location data once every 15-30 minutes is extremely easy. It's just text that can be easily compressed down to 10% size or less. The storage requirements are tiny (for a corporation/state entity) for years worth of metadata. And metadata is more often than not where the juicy things are. Like exif metadata on a picture. The picture is what you want, the exif metadata is what the state would want
@@stryderx1 "no one is tracking you"

Worked at a telecom company for 5 years, learnt all I needed to learn about data privacy there. I basically have 20 sim cards that I switch in and out every 7 days.

It is increasingly difficult in the UK to get prepaid phones. Typical way is to buy cheap handsets from supermarkets or Argos. SIM cards can be got for £1 from places like Poundland. Main issue is that all networks "pre-enroll" you to pay monthly, so you have to keep topping up your account each month.
You can get top up vouchers from supermarkets and convenience stores.
Like everything in the UK, the government are trying to make it illegal to buy a phone without showing ID.

Phones are inherently intrusive due to how they operate, so it's best just to keep the privacy and security at a reasonable level and separate your public and private life.

Thank you. Now I can watch Mental Outlaw videos without the FBI knocking on my door for the 5th time
Amateurs.
do not use your private phone to consume similar media that you did on your old phone!!11!
bro if they're literally knocking on your door you are doing something else other than watching these videos.
Another good tip...
Watch out for CCTV. If you have no choice to buy from a vendor that has CCTV, then don't use the simcard or phone for six months. Don't even put it on.
Secondly, when you go buy phone and SIM, leave your phone at home, as it can be tracked. If you have a modern car it probably has GPS tracking as well, so use the public transport if you can.
And NEVER turn the WiFi or Bluetooth on. Like never. My private phone actually had me open it up and physically damage the WiFi and Bluetooth chip. But do that at your own risk.
Bro what do you want to use this phone for 🤣🤣 I get the privacy bit, but the CCTV is just too far🤣

@@Ypog_UA You won't be able to separate yourself from technology unless you completely isolate yourself in the forest for the rest of your life. And honestly, what kind of life is that? I totally understand your desire to go off the grid, I can definitely relate, but it's becoming more and more difficult to live a life worth living while also swearing off tech. You'd literally need to become Amish and become self-sufficient living on a farm, and even then, the city roads will still have cameras and satellites will still be able to see your property.
I understand how you feel though, I feel that way about cars - I've always been a computer guy but the computerization of cars is making me want to protest anything newer than a 2006 and just drive something from the 1960's that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I have 100% complete and total control over. I want to know with certainty that my car isn't connecting to the internet and updating itself, and I absolutely don't need my car pulling me over when a cop turns on their lights behind me, or the vehicle's GPS tracking me, or self-driving camera tech recording everything it sees.
The only problem is, newer cars are dramatically safer and older cars will become less and less reliable by the year as more and more miles are put on them by their current owners. They'll become more and more scarce until it is cost prohibitive to have a purely mechanical car. Or, more realistically, it will become illegal to drive a purely mechanical car, for "safety" reasons.
It really is some Orwellian 1984 Big Brother type shit our society is heading towards. Not even heading "towards," though, because we've already got our foot in the door. We're going to be tracked and monitored 24/7 in every facet of our lives until 1. we have an armed uprising, 2. a solar coronal mass ejection wipes out 99% of earth's tech infrastructure, or 3. our species is eradicated either by its own stupidity or a random cataclysmic event like an asteroid or gamma ray burst.

The problem with used phones is that you have no idea what kind of questionable activities the previous owner could've been involved in. The phone could be secretly tracked in an official investigation without your (or the previous owner's) knowledge, and then you are caught up in that dragnet.
Could also be stolen.
The feds will know if the phone was invloved in illegal activities, and if you bought it off of craigslist 2nd hand, thr most they might end up doing is seizing it.
But yes the tracking part would fuck things up.
as a teen i had a lot of times my imei read by police in a stop, i wasn't doing anything wrong they just thought i might have stole it since up until 2015 there weren't any safeguards in android phones that prevented you from getting away with stealing someone's phone. these days they are not doing it anymore or atleast i haven't heard of it happening

You should add "in the USA" to the title, because for example in Poland it's nigh-impossible to do so due to the mandatory prepaid card registration that includes stuff like your name and your PESEL (PESEL is roughly like the US SSN).
Well, this is very good for improving privacy and hiding your private data from tech giants.
However, hiding from the government wouldn't be 100% guaranteed.
As long as the phone is at a place where it's there for most of the time then that place would be considered as your main residence place aka your home.
This would make it easier for the government to track you since the cellular tower you connect to most of the time is known.
This leads to the feds being able to narrow down your location and make them able to set up IMSI catchers and scan the whole area.
They will be able to narrow down the location of the phone to a small area and from there try and do more stuff to find you.
However, this scenario applies to people who are on the top of the wanted list and worth the effort.
@Alb Don Yeah and hope you have a good social score so papa China doesn't f**k you... You forgot the main point of doing this which is liberty.. You want us to live in a shit distopian world just like 1984 no wonder the government doesn't want a second George Orwell

Nothing is 100%, at best you get 99.99999% and even that is difficult to acquire. You take steps to minimize risk, not eliminate it

Privacy? Never heard of it
Is there like, a sim to usd type adapter? and some simple program that can use it to text/call? Using a phone for privacy seems super tedious
.
Replying so I get notified of an answer
While there are USB modems which can take a sim card, you would need to isolate the host device which you are connecting the modem to in order to maintain the level of OpSec he described. I can't find any USB-C or micro-B modems, only USB-A. It seems like Huawei modems can make (and possibly receive) calls through the COM port and another program. However, all modems, both embedded and external (and don't use CDMA because that uses an MEID), require an IMEI from the device and the IMSI from the sim card. I'd imagine obtaining the portable modem surreptitiously and maintaining the level of security while connecting it to an existing device would be much harder than getting some $50 used phone in another city. I also don't know what information these programs would need to send through the modem to initiate the connection. If you just need to make calls and texts, your best bet is a feature phone from the gas station bought with cash dressed in aviators and a siege mask.
lol you lookin for a sip trunk with some DIDs, you can get a modem like you described but not worth it
There are the Linux phones (Phinephone whatever) with physical switches to turn off the communication devices. But even that is not optimal. Better ditch the phone and have a laptop or something with you. But then your down to mails etc. It is like we are being fooled into having tracking devices on us 24/7. And not knowing it.

Also, if you have a newer phone that supports esim, you could get multiple networks operational on the phone, so you could confuse the glowies by swapping back and fourth.

And 1990-2020 computers was trying to cheat there way around emissions ruining engines. So if anything you at best should delete any emission stuff.

Not sure if this is sarcastic way of telling ppl that staying anonymous basically means not using any modern tech features or just regular video. If it's case 2 then you forgot about voice modulation. Your voice is something like your fingerprint and can be easily analysed from frequency spectrum.
And my question is, what do you use this phone for? If you use it for your private life, well it'll be extremely difficult since it's gonna be down most of the time. Also if you use it to call your friends and family I don't think it'll be that hard to track you back since their phones probably are very low on privacy and have access to the call history.
I don't see the point on having a private phone unless you're on the run, trying to avoid a stalker, protect yourself from a dangerous situation, etc.

I find this amazing the lengths we must go through for privacy
I was wondering, what license do you consider your videos to have? are they public domain or no?
i feel like once you go through all these steps, particularly the private operating system ones, you become part of a smaller more easy to track network because
1. how many people have the privacy consciousness and competence to do all this, there's probably less than 10 million devices doing this globally
2. now instead of being lumped in with the same clustered tracking as everyone in the world (and this tracking is facilitated mostly by companies with financial incentives, but certainly also sick perverted interests here and there) youre part of a more distinct and relatively small group of people who are trying for whatever reason to escape this system.
3. these operating systems and phones could all be riddled with spyware from the exact people youre trying to esape from, particularly gov entities, but even without that, if youre trying to access the internet then phones and all computer devices themselves are inherently insecure since you do have to connect to a greater centralized network to do what you want to do
Thanks! This tutorial helped me a lot about the fbi agents trying to arrest me
This just popped up on my feed very interesting stuff Good information but again we’re always connected n there’s no privacy at all anymore…doing all these thing’s really is to no avail….good luck everyone
N merry Christmas
And this is why almost all phones ,you can't disconnect battery. I would also add that if you have both phones with you,when you shut your old phone off,and wrap in foil. Change physical location by a good distance before turning on your de- googled phone. Where I work in remote locations,it's likely I'm the only phone for many miles. Wouldn't be difficult for the MAN to figure out what's going on. Damn cell phones anyway!
Lot of good Stuff on this video and nicely presented.
Having said that Humans should be aware all the technology and this includes devices, programs
Having 2 smartphones, private and public:
Public:
-calls from companies that already have the data
-using for social media accounts
-potentially using at home with home wifi (as private shouldn't be considered using)
-everything that private phone won't do
.
Private:
-covering in tinfoil so it can't be found
-Sim card with no internet data to rarely call relatives
-fear of accidentally fucking up privacy
Btle with phones in proximity of each other could cancel this idea
now i know why my personalized ads looks suspicious. 💀
anyway... good content.
godspeed
how else do you think its personalized…
If you bought a used phone, it could be rooted to have spyware. It happens a lot with hardware wallets.
yeah but andriod being linux based beens you can just read the code
My new favorite channel hands down
This was awesome to learn! Might get one.
Man, what a video! I love the content you put up!!
So basically if we are required to register the SIM card with our full name and an ID card, we're screwed :q
It's terrifying however when you think how many people don't take even the simplest measures to keep their privacy.
In my country, the introduction of an ID law on SIM cards led to two developments: One, a somewhat flourishing grey market of grandfathered cards activated before the law came into effect. You also had to provide a name and address under the old legislation, which however nobody has verified and that are often fakes. Two, vendors on marketplaces like eBay popping up mass-selling prepaid cards already activated under their own identity, just barely begging that you re-activate them as soon as possible. Also, things like harmonized EU roaming which allows you to get a number in a country like the Netherlands without such restrictions and use such a card mostly like a domestic one (with certain limitations e.g. on mobile data), at least where a foreign number is accepted.
@@D0Samp Unfortunately it won't work in my country, because even if you have an old SIM card, they deactivated it in 3 months after the regulations have been introduced, and now you _have_ to register it with your full name or else it isn't accepted by the network.
Another thing is that more and more cellphones have the so-called eSIM (embedded SIM), which is basically a SIM card chip soldered directly to the motherboard of your cellphone, and you can't even swap it. It's pinned to your device forever. The operator can reprogram it remotely when you register in order to connect you to the network, but you can't. They basically own you, whether you like it or not, and if you don't, you don't have access to the network. And you need the access to the network if you want to use your bank account etc., because now, "thanks" to EU regulations, you can't have a bank account if you don't have a cellphone. They require it to open an account, they require it to log in, and they require it for money transfers.
@@bonbonpony wtf you cant have a bank account without a cell phone?
@@justamango942 Yes. Wecome to the New World Order :q And if you don't have that in your country, you'll probably have it soon too. They introduce such bullshit here and there so that people implementing the "not on my backyard" approach didn't figure it out until it's too late.
@@bonbonpony Just switch back to a retro brick phone.
I’m definitely on a list now. What’s up fed boys!
i dumped my cell phone and strictly use my private metal can and string communication device. no GPS and i can see whos on the other end of the string.
I watched a murder trial and the killer had a burner phone, he only called his wife from it once. He got 25 years for that call..One mistake and you're done.
Yes tinfoil apply it gently to prevent any tearing.
Here in serbia you can just go to any kiosk and just buy a sim card for like 4 or 5$ witha weel of free internet and phone calls, and you can just pay cash to add credit on it, thats what i have been doing for the past 8 years or so.
Don't buy a used phone. The previous owner can get it blacklisted at almost any point.
They can’t after the contract is up and it’s long been expelled out their plan, so when you buy unlocked rather than locked to whatever cellular towers the prepaid carrier is based off of.
Best most complete video I have seen great information 👍
YES THIS VIDEO WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED THANKS!!!
I love how people actually pretend to think that the corporations who manufacture the very devices they use won't track and examine them. It's almost like having a mafia member living next door and thinking they're no threat whatsoever..
making sure4your phone doesn't connect to your home wifi is pointless... The network adapters of the phone will ping your router and vice versa just as a result of being in the vicinity... this is how they can triangulate your device even if it is turned off.. buy a phone with a removeable battery if you can find one
man I've got myself a dumb phone approximately 1 week ago because I was getting listened wayyyy more than I usually am. this morning yt recommended this video 💀
it's not a conspiracy, it's real.
Outstanding info!! Imformitive!!! Thank you..its a crazy ass world out there
Me: prepaid phones? I could do that!
Also me: uses 80-90GB of data per month
❤ excellent information 👍✌️ 100% correct ☺️👌
So, if the cell company sees a new phone on its towers that it doesn't have a profile for, that's not going to send up a flag after few weeks? Also, the meta data from using the phone normally would show up pretty quickly. A good video none the less.
Realistically, the best way to hide is to blend in, a.k.a doing good opsec and feeding the databases with enough selected info so it doesn't look suspicious.
@@notsam9528 Yeah, building a person.
Links & vids on 'how to do' the basics of that need to be made then or better available to the public
