Our phones spy. I can be talking about an off the wall subject with friends. 10 minutes later an advertisement for the weird subject or product shows up on FB. I take my cell phone out of the room if I am discussing senstive subject. I threw Alexa away a few years ago.

Amazing that it has a functioning rotary dial. It won't be long (if it hasn't already happened) before kids won't even know how a rotary dial phone works. LOL!
AFAIK, it's either Android (Google) or IOS (Apple).
There are but you really have to know what you are doing.
GrapneneOS is one option. As noted above, there are others too.
Pinephone is one.
Or use a de-googled phone. Rob Braxman has a lot of good info on the subject.

OS discussed in Joe King's post above
GrapheneOS
The private and secure mobile operating system with Android app compatibility. Developed as a non-profit open source project.
Not...MINE!
Sixteen years old. In fabulous shape, FWIW...a Toyota...but before the Reign of Hussein, when products were supposed to just WORK, not report to various Motherships what was happening around them...
ham radio - at least for local conversations
to talk long distance you REALLY need to have a little stronger transmitter than the standard 5w of power of a hand held ham radio
at LEAST 100 w or more to talk AROUND the country or the world
I've had my ham license for at least 20 years

Never Share Your Phone With A Stranger | Offline Digital Security Tips
Feb 12, 2022Usually, on this channel, we talk to you about the dangers of the ONLINE jungle. But cybercrime has long gone beyond hackers lurking in on the web, sending you phishing links or cracking databases. Today, in order to frame a person (or perhaps you), it is enough just to borrow a phone to make a quick call. 16:36

I found the ultimate form of security:
I no longer have a "smart" phone.
Even when I did, I NEVER used it with any relation to money.
Photos, yeah, there were some that could be compromising. Photographing passwords.
But someone who was trying to hack me, wouldn't have much fun. No banks, no Internet history...only maps and weather.
