Our cell number is tied to everything we do. Most of us have had our cell phone numbers for many years, even decades, and we hand it out to everyone: to merchants, healthcare providers, social media accounts.
That number can become associated to us like a social security number, and it allows all our interactions to be correlated.
We need to ditch the idea that we have just one number our whole lives, that we give to everyone.
In this video we’re going to give an example of a clean up strategy you can use to lock down your existing number, and create multiple VoIP numbers not associated to your real world identity, that don’t tie all your activities together.
00:00 Why Handing Your Cell Number Out Is Dangerous

Note: The specific products mentioned are available in a few countries including America, but the overall ideas that you should never hand out your cell number, should lock down existing cell numbers by porting to voip, should get a new sim phone number you don't share with anyone, and should only use voip numbers going forward, are universal concepts. Hopefully this video will help you choose the right strategy for wherever you are based!
