Why you shouldn't use a SIM card and use an hotspot as an alternative in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

You can just use VoIP to call people it's not a big deal and you don't need to go the extreme ways which are being mentioned in the video you can also just spoof a lot of your device information, use a different OS etc. Minimizing privacy risks is always good but you don't need to take it that crazy serious if you're just a normal individual like me and you. We are low-value for big companies the more power, known you are the more steps you should take to protect your privacy.

The video discusses the privacy concerns associated with SIM cards in mobile phones, highlighting three main reasons to be cautious. First, it explains how SIM cards enable constant location tracking through communication with cell towers. Second, it delves into the autonomy of SIM cards, particularly proactive SIMs that can send hidden messages to the cell network without the user's knowledge. Lastly, it explores the potential risks of having too much control centralized on a single device, particularly in terms of split tunneling with VPNs.

Then Naomi shares personal reasons for not using a SIM card in her phone, emphasizing alternatives such as relying on WiFi, using an anonymous Calyx hotspot, or considering mobile hotspots. The benefits of these alternatives include increased privacy, the ability to control VPN usage, and reduced exposure to potential hidden messages sent by SIM cards. The video also touches on potential downsides, such as the need to carry multiple devices and potential connectivity issues when using hotspots.

Been using it for half a year I really like it because they haven't had any big controversy, they have all the features that I need and their business is located pretty close to where I live.
