I've watched his videos before but the only way out and around it is to spend five, six hundred dollars on a phone. I got the apple phone for free after my old querty board phone died. It just happen to die at the same time they are doing away with 3g so they gave me a free phone. I don't have internet on it except at home which I don't use but it would be free using at home wireless. I' never stop blogging if I could do it anywhere, plus it was twenty five more a month to download all those apps, can't miss what you never had.

I sort of like this phone though. It does some amazing stuff. Adjust the phone lighting automatically from day to night settings, and adjustments for font size so I don't have to dig for my reading glasses. Makes cool videos out of the pictures I take. Sends me notes and reminders of people's birthdays...how they know it's their birthday I have no idea. I am thinking pretty soon here I'll be good enough at maneuvering it that all I will have to do is give it a shopping list and it'll go out shopping for me.

Having a private drone fleet would make automated shopping actually possible.

After giving the surveillance and tracking issues thought, I just don't carry a phone.

Thanks!

I wonder if you shut your phone off while traveling if it could still track you or ping off towers. I do have the no tracking option positioned to off. I have, for instance, seen notifications for people on FB that says blah blah is currently at such and such a place or they've been there. I guess that's cool if you want everyone on FB to know where you are at but I'd rather not....nor would I want them to know where I've been either. I guess if I wanted to go on a super secret trip someplace where no one but one trusted individual you want to let know in case of emergencies, I'd give them the phone to carry around while I went in the opposite direction...lol.

I do believe tracking, audio, and video surveillance still works when the phone is off. Handing off the phone to someone else is good thinking. I'll try to remember that trick.
