When you're in captivity in the colony called Australia, the local
constabulary may ask for your phone number and IMEI for the purpose of intimidation,
as in reality they do not need this from you, as they are more than capable to
obtain information WITHOUT warrants or any reasonable grounds whatsoever.
The serfs in Victoria have been given too many freedoms of
movement and association with each other, something which is against the
policies of the Andrews government which aligns itself with the CCP.
With this in mind on the first day of his return from a
recovery period from an injury, Daniel Andrews put out advertisements to
recruit 3000 more police officers.
While that state's Nazi style police force may have your
papers and even phone and IMEI numbers you can still communicate with
confidence that your communications with the other party are not only secure
but NOT logged with the telecommunications corporations where the police have
access to the databases.
How to communicate securely from your smartphone.
As 'rocket scientist' Hakan Ayik, would attest you will not
communicate securely when someone gives you a smartphone loaded up with an
allegedly private communications app in this case AN0M.
Briefly:
The best way would be to use a (mainstream) smartphone that can be 'de-Googled'
where there are approximately two dozen manufacturer's phones that can have
Google's 'spyware' removed.
Communications apps that are open source should only be used
as they are peer reviewed and have a long history of being secure, such as Telegram, Signal, etc.
IF a de-Googled phone cannot be used, your smartphone should
be reset, where all non 'factory' apps are removed, and if you must install
some apps, then their equivalent ones from an open source store like
f-droid.org should be used.
With all this in mind your smartphone's baseband modem can
be hacked at carrier level where the player can have unfettered access to your
device.
A 'de-Googled' smartphone is a phone where the 'factory' (LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung Sony, etc) installed Google modified version of Android is removed and a base version called AOSP is installed.
Therefore naturally, Apple phones cannot be 'de-Googled'.
We do not recommend Apple devices for communication purposes.
A linux personal computer/laptop can also have some of the
secure communications apps, like Signal installed on it, which would offer
another mode of communication without involving an IMEI or cell phone tower logging
in.
Using another smartphone which does not have a SIM card in
it, using only a Wi-Fi connection with the secure open source communications
app of your choice is another option to consider, where your old phone number
can be used for authentication purposes of the app.
Using a VPN is also strongly recommended.
