Tips for a policy to reveal that you are "you" if you do this:
Set up a SMS template that says "I'm calling you. / a" where "a" is changed to the initial character in you first name.
Or
Tell people that you are going to hang up after one signals whenever you call from your secret number
and that it might be you if then recive a second call directly after this from a secret number.
- Show your recipient as “Anonymous”. Usally you have to configure your phone to display this.
- Mobile phones are tracking devices, it is our duty to not wear them everywhere we are. Use them as a substitute for stationary phones as home phones. Never use it outside your home, chances are big that you will go mobile otherwise. Explain over your answering machine that “this is my home phone” in case they wonder why you “didn't answer”.
It is possible to remotely activating a mobile phone's microphone and using it to eavesdrop on nearby conversations without having to modify or handle the phone physically. The technique is called a “roving bug”. Some newer phones may allow tracking of the phone even when turned off or, at least, have the microphone activated. Also, phones can have secondary batteries installed to allow tracking even if the battery is removed.
- Do not use your mobile phone as work phones. It up to your employer to provide you with one if they require it. I would however not take such position.
- Avoid using them wherever possible to avoid radiation
- Do _not_ use a registered number and do not pay the bill/refill by card since that would tell who you are as well.
- Mobile phones, cordless phones and handsets for 10 years or more can double the risk of brain cancer. Cancers take at least a decade to develop. Use a handsfree and keep the mobile phone from your body when it is sends signals. Keep in mind that there is no guarantee that handsfrees allways is around so if you speak directly in the phone, pendle between your left and right ear every second time to not expose the right part of the brain if you are right handed and vice versa. Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) (sometimes referred to as “microwave” or “radiofrequency”) and magnetic field from the battery is both factors.
- Use speaker-function if you don't have any headset for your mobile phone to avoid EMR. Avoid to wear the mobile phone near your body (eg in the pocket of your pants, its better to wear it in the jacket)
- Use a GPS free (old fashion) mobile phone since GPS is very easy to track and older mobile phones don't have operating systems which usally is non-free. The drawback with old mobile phones are on the other hand that they exposure users to elecromagnetic radiation (EMR) more intensive the the futures mobile phones which should be more protected against this.
- Make sure that the cobolt used in the battery is not collected by children.
- Use a mobile phone that you can disable wireless connections with so you can use it without being tracked whenever you want.
- Use a mobile phone that is loaded with a free operating system.
- Never wear the mobile phone. It is easy to forget it.
- Don't forget to recycle your mobile phone. Leave it to any reseller.
How to buy
- Avoid to shop at supermarkets by several reasons; cars is very destructive for the enviroment. Supermarkets is dominated by megacorporations, you do the globalization right movement a favor when you dont put money in their pockets.
- Refuse to use EAN code bar readers to self-scan you products as a standpoint against control society.
- Leave the seals from the products in the store as a statement that extra seals is not nessecary.
- Refuse to wear commercial bags from stores as a statement against commercialism. Wear blank cottonbags with you. Buy paperbags from the store if you forgot them.
- Refuse to pay “öresutjämmningen”
- Buy products whos seals is able to recycle
- Never pay with card or draw membercards, they register anything and sell the information (including personal).
If you ever pay by card, think of this:
- Try to keep an eye on your credit card at all times, if possible.
- Retrieve your credit card immediately after every transaction
- Keep your receipts.
- Review your account statements carefully, and notify your bank immediately of any discrepancies.
- Be on the lookout for portable skimming devices
- Always remove the EAN stickers from products you will own for a long time. They will include RFID chips later and those chips are uniqe so its easy to track them which discrininates you private life.
- Buy products that is easy to recycle.
- Use paperbags for garbages. Its easy to seal these bags with a stapler.
Symbolic: If you buy plastic bags; Buy plastic bags that the enviroment can recycle
