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.

As a result, the pandemic saw many newcomers to Telegram, including prominent anti-vaccine activists who used the app's hands-off approach to share false information on shots, a study from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue shows. You may recall that, back when Facebook started changing WhatsApp’s terms of service, a number of news outlets reported on, and even recommended, switching to Telegram. Pavel Durov even said that users should delete WhatsApp “unless you are cool with all of your photos and messages becoming public one day.” But Telegram can’t be described as a more-secure version of WhatsApp. "There are a lot of things that Telegram could have been doing this whole time. And they know exactly what they are and they've chosen not to do them. That's why I don't trust them," she said. Andrey, a Russian entrepreneur living in Brazil who, fearing retaliation, asked that NPR not use his last name, said Telegram has become one of the few places Russians can access independent news about the war. "There is a significant risk of insider threat or hacking of Telegram systems that could expose all of these chats to the Russian government," said Eva Galperin with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has called for Telegram to improve its privacy practices.
