In rural Vermont, electrical engineer Patrick Schlott built 3 “FreePhones” after noticing poor cell service. His company RandTel converts plain old telephone service into digital signals and broadcasts them online, allowing anyone to make a call.
Inspired by PhilTel (Philly) and Futel (Portland), these community phones don’t surveil users. Some even use VPNs.
Futel explains: “Denial of telephony services has long been a tactic against undesirable populations… we will help establish a new era of communication.”
At TBOT & Above Phone, we align with this vision. Like FreePhones, our internet numbers don’t require personal info, aren’t tied to towers, and let you run multiple numbers on one device. Best of all, this internet phone number is built right into the Above Suite—a complete solution for private, flexible communication.

Pavel Durov, a billionaire who embraces an all-black wardrobe and is often compared to the character Neo from "the Matrix," funds Telegram through his personal wealth and debt financing. And despite being one of the world's most popular tech companies, Telegram reportedly has only about 30 employees who defer to Durov for most major decisions about the platform. Markets continued to grapple with the economic and corporate earnings implications relating to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. “We have a ton of uncertainty right now,” said Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist and portfolio manager at Hightower Advisors. “We’re dealing with a war, we’re dealing with inflation. We don’t know what it means to earnings.” Perpetrators of such fraud use various marketing techniques to attract subscribers on their social media channels. However, the perpetrators of such frauds are now adopting new methods and technologies to defraud the investors. "And that set off kind of a battle royale for control of the platform that Durov eventually lost," said Nathalie Maréchal of the Washington advocacy group Ranking Digital Rights.
