    I can understand your need for privacy, even though I don’t go to similar lengths myself. That being said, I always prefer the way forward instead of shutting new technology out. I don’t have the answer to how that would translate to your situation specifically, but a privacy minded android or linux os with a prepaid sim card could go a long way.

      It shouldn’t be a need.

      I do agree. I’m behind in terms of privacy protection, but most of my energy is on escaping some life struggles at the moment. I’m fairly aware of where to find what I seek, but it’ll take a lot to collect all that information and implement it. Story of our lives though, eh? ;P

      I’ve looked into prepaids, but it goes against my desire to support our telecoms. I looked into VOIPs as well, but most services block them because again, they need to identify YOU and I refuse to accept it, QoL be damned.

      I’m currently thinking about shadowing off someone else’s identity. Solves a lot of my problems, but I’d like to figure alternatives and potential reprecussions before I go bumming off my friends.
