Getting MULTIPLE PRIVATE Phone Numbers

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.

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!

Where has this video been my whole life! Im sick of getting calls from bots and spam.

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.

[persebra]

I probably need this but it sounds insanely complicated. I am totally overwhelmed!

[alexmayer]

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.

[anonyome]

Great working with you, Naomi! Your content is gold. Keep up the incredible effort to educate everyone about data privacy!

[mindyourbusinessmotherfuck]

You're not only a beautiful woman. You're also intelligent resourceful and informative. Keep up the great work. It's truly appreciated and needed.

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

[MrHarrilasagna]

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.

[AtrumDelorox]

gonna need that video on how to trick companies into thinking VoIP numbers are carrier numbers.

[bobarjie]

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.

[jampskan]

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...)

[Elemblue]

It nice to see companies like this being started by passionate people.

[mugenjie]

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).

[NunyaBeezwax]

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?

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.

[TwistedAkimoto]

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.

[jjflash]

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.

[tacticaltruthteller]

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.

[Andrew-vdko]

Change your cellphone number often, I often give out OLD DEAD numbers and give a DOB that is off by 2 days....

Protecting yourself is key....
