Erik Prince Unplugged Phone

My brother moved to TX about five years ago. He left CA, bitching about high taxes. He has taken up guns and has definitely leaned to the right, ideologically.
I talked to him today sad he said he has bought one of Erik Prince’s “Unplugged” cell phones. Has anyone hear heard about them? Reviews are a little sketchy…..

They are a scam.

Based on the description, it sounds like any smartphone can be made "unplugged." Get a VPN, encryption such as PGP and anti-virus software, and use DuckDuckGo instead of Google as your search engine.

I have a far simpler solution: Don't buy a smartphone. You can find out the location of my POTS landline, if you know the number, and it will always located in the same place - regardless of my location. So it cannot be used to track my whereabouts. My POTS landline phone is also not a computer, and is incapable of receiving text, much less a virus of any kind. No anti-virus software or encryption software is required.

I wouldn't want anything having that murderer attached to it.
