Trying to upgrade my mobile sovereignty. I’ve heard pretty unanimously that a pixel + grapheneOS is the way but I’m pretty ignorant after that regarding carrier options. Can any sovereign individuals out there point me in the right direction? @OFFGRID @₿k

Buy, for cash, a pixel and put #GrapheneOS on it. Then get #Silent.link esim. Your identity will not be attached to the phone. Use #IVPN too

If I’m understanding the silent.link options correctly, it says only inbound calls/texts are available. Is that right or am i a dum dum?

Depends. They have an option that gives a US number. Unless that's finished. You can use it to call out using VoIP or through telegram or WhatsApp.

Is it possible to perform all outgoing calls through simplex.chat? Can you call regular phone numbers or only contacts within simplex.chat?
You can run normal carriers if you want. Silent.link gives you inbound SMS or data only. You aren't hiding from a state actor, but you can give the average advertiser a few hurdles to jump. @Final is on Nostr and has lots of good notes to read.
