If you buy an unlocked phone on this list and try to take it to one of your wireless carrier's retail stores, they may tell you it isn't compatible with the network. It likely is. If it doesn't work at first, reboot the phone or just wait a couple of hours.

Having said that, please make sure whatever phone you buy will work on your wireless network. Listings on retailers like Amazon should state clearly which networks it will be compatible with. Also make sure the listing says that the phone is being sold "unlocked. Warning for Verizon and Sprint users: There's a higher chance an unlocked phone will not work on your network.

If you text someone who does not use Signal, the text will not be encrypted and will only have one checkmark. If you text another Signal user, it will encrypt and show two checkmarks. It does not replace the stock dialer, but you can call from it. If the other person uses Signal, the call will go over data instead of voice and will be encrypted. ProtonMail — Goodbye Gmail.
This service offers 2GB storage for free and can be used by the app on your phone or on your computer over the Web. It offers end-to-end, zero-knowledge encryption for your e-mail. This means that ProtonMail cannot see your data and does not know your passphrase. You will set up two passphrases. One logs you into your account ProtonMail knows this passphrase. The other logs you into your mailbox ProtonMail does not know this passphrase. The app can be protected by a PIN and if too many attempts are made, it reverts to the passphrase.
You can even send encrypted e-mails to non-ProtonMail users by password protecting the e-mail.
The other person would enter the password for that message and be able to reply with an encrypted e-mail There are other things I could suggest if there is sufficient interest. I hope this is helpful to some in this community. Because where privacy and liberty are concerned, Never Settle! Last edited: Apr 11, H , Eduardo G. Oreo Jan 23, Sun90 and cmitchellshaw like this.

KitKat Jan 24, If we did all that you suggest we take a smartphone and turn it into an expensive dumb phone, everything in life is a trade off including security and privacy. We have to fund a balance between what we want and what it "costs".
I do have concerns though about suggesting apps such as lookout. All apps like that do is generally cause problems. Why the weather's app, need to have contacts rights? And guess what? Both doze switch on For the apps you had mention, i don't trust them for privacy or drain battery, I prefer not use of those kinds.

Donut Jan 24, Cupcake Feb 14, SevenG , Feb 14, : I'm currently running Lineage specifically to add Privacy Guard to all those other controls you have in place, as well as sourcing things from F-Droid when practical.
Are you running OOS? Are there any apps left that give that level of granular control? I am getting frustrated with the camera stability I can live with the quality and shutter lag in Lineage, and thinking about going back to stock after only three days with this thing. KitKat Feb 14, Cupcake Feb 15, SevenG , Feb 15, : Right, but if I use Android to block, say, location data, the app is aware and can chose not to function. I also have to go back in to the permissions for said app to adjust it.
PG lets me always allow, silently block, or ask every time. The latter is useful for the few occasions where I may want to use my camera to video chat, but not always have the camera available to that app. KitKat Feb 15, Eclair Feb 15, GeekMax , Feb 15, : thanks for the tips.
