Resist the CHAOS and SURVEILLANCE agenda with privacy carrier solutions and satellite comms
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
And as you know, the world just changed in a dramatic and violent way and a very concerning way because
People, apparently over a thousand people in Lebanon, some of whom reportedly have ties to Hezbollah, they had their pagers remotely detonated by, it looks like, the military leadership of Israel remotely detonated these people's pagers They exploded, blew off.
For some people, it killed them.
There was at least one child killed, you know, hands, fingers blown off.
It was a horrible event.
There are also rumors that some cell phones were remotely detonated.
And this is not about Israel versus Lebanon or Hezbollah or Iran or the Middle East.
This is about technology today.
And we have two guests joining us here.
They're really important.
But let me just set it up.
Right now, all of us must suspect That the comms devices that we have may not be able to be trusted if they don't come from sources that we can trust ourselves.
In other words, a lot of people have pagers or mobile phones or other devices that have batteries.
The batteries may explode.
It's not clear.
Maybe some of these pagers were outfitted with very tiny amounts of explosive material that was set off and then maybe the battery exploded with it.
More details are still emerging.
In the meantime, I am encouraging everybody to get to a more secure communications device and a more secure network.
Because let me repeat, and then I'll bring in our guests, but let me repeat.
The cell phone towers sent out signals that detonated people's communications devices and killed some of those people.
That just happened.
A week ago, that would have been called a conspiracy theory.
It is no longer a theory.
It is a fact.
It just happened, and it can happen again.
This is a time to make sure that your communications devices and your comms networks come from companies that are well trusted.
Now, fortunately for us, we have a longstanding relationship with our sponsor, the Satellite Phone Store.
You know Tina from the Satellite Phone Store, but did you know that our guest today joining us Is Marlos, he's the CEO of Connecta Mobile, working in conjunction with Tina.
They join us now together to discuss this very scary event and how we can secure our communications through trustworthy providers such as Phone123.com, which Marlos is the CEO of.
So welcome Marlos and Tina to the show today.
So, thank you, Mike.
It's a pleasure being on your show today.
Yes, difficult times that we're living.
I would never imagine that such thing would happen, you know, in a blink of an eye.
It just happened.
It's very frightening for all of us, you know, just looking at your own phone, your own device, whatever you may have, like, is this a weapon that could be used against us?
And I'm hearing right now a lot of people are extremely, are urgently wanting to enhance the security of their communications right now.
So that's where your company comes in, Marlos, ConnectaMobile, phone123.com.
Give us an overview of what is ConnectaMobile.
So, Mike, one of the things that we, when we realized that many of our customers at Satellite Phone Store were also concerned about security and privacy, we thought, Tina and I sat down and said, OK, we need to do something about it.
So what we did, we created the first American based security privacy oriented carrier To protect the privacy and to secure the communications between the networks and between the people that want to talk with, right?
So we started up, I would say, one year back trying to curate and find the right providers that could, you know, source the right solution for our customers and spot on.
So we found a very Awesome solution to protect your identity and privacy on the data from your phone through a VPN connection military grade encryption that actually can hide your IP.
So when you're navigating the Internet.
Nobody can track who actually is using that particular device.
So just to be clear, this service, Connect2Mobile service, this replaces your normal carrier, such as AT&T or T-Mobile.
This is a replacement for your carrier, correct?
Correct.
When it happens.
So what we do, we use their networks just as a venue, but every information that is tracked.
Right.
The issue is communicated publicly, goes to an encrypted funnel, so nobody knows what's being used and who are using the data there.
Alright, so quick question then.
People who want to take advantage of this service, they also, can they install this suite and swap out the SIM card on an existing phone they have, or do they need to get a new phone, or are both options available?
Both options are available.
I think that's a great question, Mike, because What the customers will have to do is to come to our site, phone123.com, and sign up for a new subscription.
They can bring their own device, or they can shop Android phones or the ultra-secure phone, Bedium.
We're going to talk about it in a minute.
But when they sign up for that, and the plans start from around $35 for one gigabyte of high-speed data, Of that moment and on our technical support team is going to get them settled.
So what they're going to get is encrypted device, you know, on the on the on the level of the device encrypted funnel.
So they have a VPN networking network fully available for them and working 100% of the time.
So whatever they are.
Uh, whoever the data trackers, they cannot understand, they cannot see who is actually where the person is, where the connection has been established.
And also they're going to get.
An application installed where they can communicate fully freely with no censorship with a completely private.
They can do text messages, voice messages are going to be encrypted end to end for the other person that also has the same application and also data transfer.
If you want to send a document, an important information to your peer to someone to whoever you want to send out, you can use this application that is going to go installed.
So kind of in the way, and by the way, Tina, I'm sorry we're dominating the conversation.
We'll ask you to chime in here in just a second.
But kind of in the way that Telegram does end-to-end communication encryption for users of Telegram, you're saying that this is kind of the same thing for a phone.
So if I'm using your service, phone123.com, And I put it on my phone, which is a de-googled phone that I have here.
Don't you love my pink case?
Yeah, it's so fitting.
And then if a friend of mine gets your service and puts the same software and carrier service on their phone, then I and my friend can talk end-to-end encrypted, or we can pass data files end-to-end encrypted, or text end-to-end encrypted, and there's no server in between that reads that unencrypted?
There is one server that is only a pass-through, but we don't store any data.
We don't have any information.
The person is in control of the data.
The person is in control of the communication, what and to who the person is going to send.
So I think one of the things that I have seen, Mike, and which is kind of scary, right?
It's people don't know what to do when it comes to security.
You have seen all along these data breaches, you know, bank account information being stolen, identity being stolen.
So people committing fraud with someone else's identity.
All of these things happen because somehow Someone hacked into the phone and the computer and found the information online or bought the information in deep dark web and found a way to get this personal information that you are meant to protect and use for wrongdoings.
And people sometimes don't even know about it because many times these breaches are not even public, you know, they're not publicized, they're not public information and the person is going to realize years later.
In one of the key entries, for example, if we're using you go to a cafe, right?
And you type and use.
OK, let's let me use this free Wi-Fi.
Yeah, free Wi-Fi is always a bad security move.
It's not a good security move at all.
So people go to this, you know, go to the airport.
Okay, let me try to find a network here that I connect.
My reception is not good.
So what we do is that we protect the phone that you can freely and securely connect to any Wi-Fi because your IP and your device is going to be fully encrypted.
So even if someone, and when I talk encryption here, Mike, I talk about military-grade encryption.
We partnered with companies like Nord, BTN, even Signal.
So we partnered with these companies to help us out to understand what are the best-in-class technology out there and make it available for a regular user.
It's not meant only for military use or commercial use.
Now we made it available for every single user out there.
Wow.
Yeah.
And I also want to add that you have someone there that you have sold a lot of phones that are de-googled.
All of those people that bought the phones, they came just, you know, sign up with us.
So now they have a secured phone and they have a secure service.
Right.
And that's like what you want to do to have Complete, secure, and in charge of your own data and, you know, and no one else.
I'm right there with you on that.
I think that's absolutely critical.
Now, so for somebody who wants to upgrade their phone security sort of step-by-step, affordably, the easiest thing for them to do is to keep their current phone, which typically is going to be a Google Android or an iPhone, Yes.
Yes.
Correct.
upgrade the carrier service with you.
But the second step is then to get a de-Googled phone, or you have this amazing Bitium phone. - Yes, correct. - This is like James Bond level, like hardcore.
I've got it up on my screen.
Is it, I don't know if this is the same one, but the Bitium Tough Mobile 2?
Is this the hardware?
Okay, yeah, go ahead then.
Tell us about Bitium, this phone hardware.
Again, this is optional, and I imagine this is expensive, but go ahead and tell us about the Bitium phone.
So the Bitium phone is, if you want to go ultra secure with the phone, the Bitium is the place to go.
It has two different levels of security, right?
The first level is the device security, so it goes encrypted to the chipset.
And why is that important for some people?
For example, if someone gets access to your phone and try to hack the pattern of what you are trying to or how you scratch things, how you use certain sites, they can actually figure it out, your bank information or the passcode of the phone in a regular phone.
Why?
Because there are logs of the sensors of the phone.
So the iPhone has it, Android phone has it, the Beedle doesn't.
It doesn't carry any log.
So there is no, yeah, of what has been tracked.
The other thing is everything that is in the hard track.
Let me jump in, too.
I'm sorry to interrupt, but doesn't this phone have a switch on it to turn off the microphone and camera, like to hard disconnect them?
It does.
So, there is a privacy mode key.
So, it's on the hardware.
You click the privacy mode key.
The camera is automatically off.
There is no way.
So, the microphone is off and the Bluetooth is off.
The Wi-Fi is off.
So, you go into a place that is public.
You know, there are multiple Wi-Fi's or you go to an airport or any other place.
You just go ahead and boot.
Press the button and you go into the privacy mode.
So the only access that you're going to have and the only person that is going to have access to anything in your phone is yourself.
So that also means in that privacy mode you can't be surreptitiously tracked by the carrier or by any government in the world.
I mean, some people in the Middle East are being assassinated because their cell phones are being located.
You know, and then like the missile strikes come in, you know?
Yes.
Go ahead.
No, I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
I'm just saying like protecting your location, even if you're not in a war, but protecting your location can also protect you from being caught up in a geofencing warrant.
You know, law enforcement can cast these big warrants for everybody that was in this one place at one time.
And maybe you were just sitting there eating a sandwich and you get caught up in a warrant, you know?
The thing that the service actually protects is the IP, hide the IP, hide the traffic, protects the communication.
Of course, provided that the person is not doing anything illegal, right?
That's not meant to that.
It's meant to protect your privacy, to protect your data that's in your phone, to protect your traffic.
Wow!
data trackers.
I'm talking about even weird situations, right?
When you are talking with someone in a car that the other day was talking with my wife about, hey, I was thinking about buying this car and so on.
So the next thing that I know, she was getting an ad on her phone about the same that we're talking about.
Oh, wow.
This is the type of monitoring that companies, big tech companies are doing today that can be prevented with the right tools, with the right solutions on the device.
That would work on the medium, that would work in iPhone, that would work in Android with the suit that we serve.
Okay.
Wow.
Tina, you want to add to that?
Yeah.
I mean, Binion is not, if they're not located in China, number one.
It's I believe it's in Finland and they have been they started making these secured phone for governments around the world like the CIA, you know, and other organizations and now the same security is available.
For us.
And that's kind of like what we wanted to bring to our clients because they are concerned about security.
Many people are.
Many people that go to rallies want to have secure.
They don't want to be tracked.
Many people that want to go voting this November, they don't want to be tracked while they're voting.
So this is a really good phone to have.
for as secure as you're ever going to get.
Yeah, you know, it's funny because I keep seeing news reports in conservative media saying that, okay, like 10,000 people went to a Kamala rally and they would say, well, 7,000 of those people actually live in another state.
And the way they know that is because they have the phone location records.
I'm like, how are they getting 10,000 phone location records?
And it's these, it's all these third party apps that are installed that are constantly leaking your location.
So just going to a political rally, they can track you to that rally.
So your location is not protected by the IP when you are using it on a regular day to day.
So what we did is to bring cybersecurity protection to the everyday life.
So, we don't need to be, you know, concerned about, okay, am I in a secure spot that I can actually send my data, send messages to my family, send messages to my business partner that I can, you know, that I'm not going to be tracked or hacked.
This is an additional layer of protection to prevent this kind of situations, Mike.
I think this is what it's all about, right?
Of course, Today is very easy to understand what is your behavior online.
It's very easy to understand what are these websites that you go the most, right?
And based on this information, you know, to be used for censorship or to be used for understanding profiles and location in certain specific movements that you do.
So when you sign up, so in about three weeks from now, we're going to develop, we're going to launch the next generation.
I mean, That is that's going to bring just an additional feature, especially for our phone users, which is you can decide amongst few locations where your first connection is going to be, and that is going to be that location.
You can change in a switch of a click.
Okay, wow, that sounds very powerful, and I want to remind people, too, because I have pretty good knowledge in security, but for people who are using a phone like this, it's very important that they understand that if they go to a website that has like a Google login, if they log into Google, well, then now Google associates your account with that IP address, and you're kind of giving up some privacy if you're going to log in everywhere, right?
Yes.
So you have to think about multiple layers of security.
Like, if you're going to use a phone for Google services, you should maybe have that as a different phone that you don't use for all your other communications and calls and texts and everything.
So yeah, that's a very interesting observation, Mike, because On the NVIDIA phone, you actually can do it.
You can have different profiles on the same phone, so you can have a profile that you can use for leisure, for day-to-day, or for, you know, and another profile that we call it professional or work, and this profile is completely encrypted, secure.
Just swap from one profile to the other, and then you have your secure connection, your security communication app, all the documents if you want to, you know, and today these devices that are computers for us, right?
We go everywhere.
I was talking with one of our other customers the other day and he said, well, I can go without water for three days, but not without internet.
I understand.
I get it.
You know, it's part of our lives today.
So sometimes for our customers, it's, it's difficult to do this measurement.
So what we did, there are a couple of things.
For example, if you have an iPhone or Android, it's going to be a hundred percent on 100% of the time, unless you disconnect.
It's not the opposite.
You have to connect to use.
No, it's going to be connected by default through the VPN, through the encrypted funnel, with threat monitoring, with dark web monitoring to understand our profile.
It's going to be released in a few weeks from now.
But it's going to be full on 100% of the time.
And the cost of this is just like a monthly fee, and you get a certain amount of bandwidth through the carrier service?
Yes.
The options for the customers is more related.
So all the phones, all the lines, they go with the secure and the protection included, right?
So the main difference is going to be how much data the person is going to need to use.
So go with a one gigabyte of high-speed data.
First of all, it's unlinked text, unlinked voice.
And up to a certain level of data that goes on high-speed traffic.
So it goes from one gig to 40 gigabytes.
So you select which one that's more appropriate to you.
You can select a new phone.
You can bring your old phone.
So we make it feasible and available for the general person, just like, you know, I see.
Any of them.
Okay.
So the website for that, again, is phone123.com.
Let me bring that up.
That takes you here to Connecta Mobile, protect your privacy, defend your freedom, and then you can find out about the pricing plans here.
Yes.
We can win.
Yep.
Okay.
And I do want to say again, uh, the satellite phone store and connect to mobile are sponsors of our show.
So this, this is a sponsored interview.
I want to be clear about that.
And we thank you for your, for your support.
But based on what's happening in the world right now, I would want to have this conversation regardless because people's communications devices are detonating right now because they're not trustworthy.
Now, Tina, talk to us about these Faraday bags, because if there's one way, like if you can take your phone and put a quality Faraday bag around it, it's not going to receive any signals at all.
So it won't receive the detonation command if that's what's happening.
I mean, we live in a scary world at this point now.
This is crazy.
Whoever thought your pagers and phones would start blowing up on you in your hands on purpose.
Yeah.
And I just want to point out that with the Binion phone, I believe if you lost it, it can self-delete or delete all the information.
It's one of the huge benefits, what I like about it.
And then also, the other thing, Mike, I really got tired of people with the iPhone going through all my photos because I have a lot of photos that I don't want anyone to see.
And Apple was making me videos of my photos.
So they were looking at pictures of my passport, the pictures of my credit cards that I took on my phone.
And that's when I'm just like, I got to get a little bit more secure.
This is really dangerous for us in photos and storing them with this phone.
No one sees the pictures other than you.
So, yeah.
So, it does have a camera and pictures.
Now, as far as extra security, you can go to sat123.com, Mike, and all of our links are there.
So, you'll see the Connect2Mobile, you'll see the Faraday bags, you'll see all the generators, I think, that you see.
But with the Faraday bags, When you take your secure phone and you put it in here, now you're like, you've got really, really extra security.
So if I was to go to any rallies or to go voting, I would put my phone, any phone that I take with me or any electronic.
And secure it so that there's no signal that there's absolutely 100% no tracking at this point.
Let me jump in.
So show my screen guys.
So you have a satellite phone Faraday bag that can hold a mobile phone or a sat phone.
You also have the new Escape Zone ballistic backpack that is itself the whole thing is a Faraday bag or does it have a Faraday section in it?
So it has a Faraday pocket in the back of the bag.
And then it is ballistic.
So the pocket will hold your wallet.
It will hold your phone.
We kind of designed that for the school children because a lot of schools in California are trying to ban cell phones.
And we think that the parents should make a decision if their kids will have communication, not the schools.
So when you put your phone inside your backpack, it won't ring in the classroom.
And it's also bulletproof, so in case you come up, you know, a line of fire, whether you're at the mall or in a car, anywhere, you can use that backpack as a shield.
Tina, I thought I was doom and gloom about what's happening in America, but you're like, we're going to roll out ballistic backpacks for kids, you know, and...
Like, like Faraday protection.
No, this is serious stuff.
This is like James Bond level equipment.
I mean, if you combine the service, the connect to mobile service and you and you use the bitium, you know, super vault phone, you put it in a bulletproof backpack in a Faraday pouch.
I mean, like, But this is the world we're living in.
I'm sorry to laugh about it, but it's like our world is crazy.
There's unpredictability, there's violence in the streets, people getting mugged and carjacked, people getting targeted on their communications devices.
It's an unsafe world.
I mean, it's kind of a sad commentary, but I'm glad you have solutions.
Yeah, we do.
And then, as you know, Mike, we have other solutions for satellite phones.
Now, cell towers are very fragile.
I keep hearing over and over, I heard it, you know, Tucker Carlson talks about it all the time.
You talk about it all the time.
Look, the bad guys are going to attack our infrastructure when they want to attack us.
I mean, you see what's happening around the world.
So, um, so what you want to do is you want to have a backup communication because communication is important.
Communication without communication, we are completely, completely fragile with communication.
So what you want to do is you want to have, you want to also get, um, an Iridium phone.
This is the one that I recommend because this phone will work from anywhere on earth without any exception.
And this is your cell tower, wherever you go.
You take your cell tower with you wherever you go.
So when cell towers go down, and it recently happened again with AT&T about a month ago.
So, so far it's happened two times to me where my phone had SOS and didn't work.
So I went to my satellite phone and used.
So at any given point, our cell towers are fragile, not to mention the weather.
Fires, tornadoes, hurricanes.
Power grid failures are becoming increasingly common.
Yeah, yeah.
Power grid usually with cell towers, they will last for about 24 hours, and then they will go down.
So you want to have a backup.
The satellite phone, so if you go to SAT 123, Mike, I know you've been talking about them a lot.
And I know you have quite a few of them.
And we got a lot of also the people that you work with, especially at the border and, you know, with some of the security companies that we work with, and a lot of churches that we work with, they're all, you know, they all have backup because.
I'm telling you again, if the cell towers went down and you can't get a hold of your family, it is very stressful.
And then I also recommend that if you do get yourself and your family satellite communication, that you have communication drills so that everybody knows how to use the satellite communication.
And they also have each other's phone numbers because if the cell towers went down and you don't have You don't know how to use the sat phone or you don't have your son or your daughters or your employees' satellite phone numbers.
It's not going to do you any good.
Thank you, Tina, for your donations.
Also, this isn't something you didn't ask me to talk about this publicly, but I'm helping distribute some of the tech that you're putting into the hands of people who are protecting our nation, protecting our border.
And by the way, did you know that the governor of Texas just declared the Tren de Aragua group to be a foreign terrorist organization operating in the state of Texas?
That is a serious designation.
And what it means is that Texas law enforcement is going to go to war with this.
is going to go to war with this, it's a hardcore Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, you know, the Aragua train, right?
It's a it's a it's a hardcore Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, you know, the Aragua train.
Right.
And they are hardcore.
And they are hardcore.
They are violent.
They are violent.
They carry around rifles.
They they carry around rifles.
And so the reason I'm even saying this, you know, some people might be watching this and like, why do you need a bulletproof backpack?
It's called Tren de Aragua, and they're taking over buildings, man.
They're taking over buildings in Colorado, taking over buildings in Texas.
They were hitting up truckers at a truck stop to say, you've got to pay rent to stay here at the truck stop at night.
Like, what?
What is going on?
So America is being turned into a war zone, sadly.
This is just where we are in history right now.
And I would say to people, you need to have secure communications.
That's the Connect2Mobile service, Marlos.
That's phone123.com.
That's going to protect your comms.
You need to protect your physical self, obviously.
I mean, I'm an advocate of the Second Amendment and ballistic protection, where it's legal to use.
It's a great idea, like what you have, Tina.
And then, you've also got to have backup communications.
I mean, I don't feel like you're offering anything that isn't critical here.
Like, everything is a necessary piece.
Not at all, yes.
Yeah, I agree.
And one of the things that, Mike, you always talk about is this bivy stick, and we really love this bivy stick.
I really like it because it is light, and I know that you use it as well, and a lot of the folks at the border use it.
Yes, they love it.
And this basically turns, so this is a lot cheaper.
It's only About $65 a month for unlimited two-way texting.
This uses Iridium Network.
So you use all 66 satellites of Iridium.
So anywhere you go on Earth, without any exception, you will be able to send and receive text messages.
And the other benefit that I really like about this is that if things went down, this gives you the local weather and a local map.
So in case you have to drive somewhere You didn't have GPS because there's no communication and People don't memorize streets anymore.
Nobody has maps.
I can't find them anywhere.
I used to have those maps in my glove compartment.
Those don't exist anymore.
So this is really good to be able to pull up the local maps so that you can find your way around.
So there's a lot of benefits for having this.
So all you do is you download the app, and then now your phone, even if it's not working, or if you're out in the middle of the ocean or desert, You can still send and receive text messages.
And by the way, this also works on the Beeline phone, works for iPhone, works for any Android phone, and the connection on the Beeline is encrypted as well.
So it's not only backup, but the way that you communicate is important.
The message that you're sending has to be delivered to the person on the other side that is intended to be delivered.
Yeah, and I want to mention too that when people get a bivy stick, it also comes with a US phone number to receive texts like a regular phone would receive texts, right?
So this is a question I received from some people.
They're saying, if I have a bivy stick, can I only text other people who have bivy sticks?
No, you can text any phone anywhere in the world and you can receive texts from any phone anywhere in the world.
Right.
And most people don't even know that they're sending to a satellite phone number.
Right.
They just that they're sending to a regular number, but it is coming through a satellite.
So if, you know, if a person's in, I don't know, Alaska, somewhere where there's no cell coverage, even when the cell towers are not down, they're still getting your messages and you can still send out messages.
So it's really, really good for security.
A lot of folks that have these in Hawaii were able to communicate to other islands to bring help for the burn victims because the 911 didn't work at the time.
And then we also received a lot of compliments for it.
For the folks that were in a hurricane zone in Puerto Rico.
I'm sorry, what was that last year?
The hurricane in Acapulco last year.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Right.
So, yeah.
Quick question about the bivy sticks.
Are they ever going to add a feature where you can attach a photo to your text, like send a photo?
Or is that just too much bandwidth for the satellites?
I think that's too much bandwidth, but I could tell you the next generation, which is coming out in November, is going to have a two-way radio so that you can communicate with other people that have baby sticks that are nearby you.
So if you're playing with a group of people, and what happened about a month ago in Havasupai, There was the, you know, there was the water that came in.
It was rain and a lot of people were flooded and they couldn't get out.
There was one guy, actually, that had a satellite phone that was able to call for help.
And that guy, because he had a satellite phone, over a hundred people were saved.
Unfortunately, one person did pass and that was the fellow that had the satellite phone that was able to save the hundred people.
And this was at Havasupai in in Arizona just a month ago.
So yeah, these phones do save lives.
They are good to have.
They are good to have for emergency.
And I also want to point out that we do have this phone, the MRSAT phone, that is still free until supplies last.
I think we have just a couple thousand of them left for this year.
And all you have to do is just sign up on a 15-month agreement.
The form's included.
It's about an $800 phone.
We give it to you.
I think our break-even point's about 14 months.
Yes.
That's the reason why we did 15-month agreement.
And then after that, you're just month to month.
And the minutes that you don't use roll over?
They can, yeah.
Yes.
Is that automatically that way?
I believe it is.
I think it's, yeah, I think when you choose your plan, the 15-month agreement, it comes with it.
Yes.
It's an option for any of the customers.
They can have a USA phone number.
They can have the rollover minutes that never expire.
As long as they continue to have the service.
Got it.
Got it.
OK.
And then also in the past, Tina, I just want to clarify, you've mentioned that if if there is a disruption in the banking system, I know that some of the customers were concerned, like what happens if like I can't like the bank won't make the payments work?
I don't want to be cut off from the service.
What's what's your current policy on that to prevent people from being cut off if the banks don't work for a while?
Yeah, so we do get a lot of Customers asking us that, you know, the banks are in trouble right now.
What if the bank system went down and you can't collect the money?
If the bank systems went down and we can't collect the money, we're not going to turn anybody off.
These phones are used for emergency.
We're going to wait until things get back to normal.
It doesn't even have to be the bank.
Anything, right?
Anything could happen.
True.
Be knocked down and nobody can pay their bills.
Look, we know that these phones are for security.
We still want to have a business when things get back to normal.
So we're not going to turn people off because we want our business to continue on if it wants, you know, however long it takes, whether it takes a month or two to get back to normal.
So people can rest assured that we are not going to turn you off if there's an emergency that happens nationwide or in certain areas.
We'll wait it out until the emergency is completed and then we'll settle the bill at that point.
Good point.
Yes.
Well, I'm glad to hear about you confirming that policy because, you know, we are in really uncertain times.
And we've seen many riots in other countries, you know, just recently.
I mean, you know, riots in Brazil, for example, not long ago as well.
You know, riots in Venezuela.
Probably going to see some riots in America.
Whatever happens after early November, somebody's not going to be happy.
There's probably going to be a lot of disruptions, interruptions.
Is there anything else you want to add to this in terms of the solutions side?
I think it's going to be before the election, unfortunately, is what they're going to, things are going to happen.
But yeah, I think you need to be, you need to protect yourself.
You know, get, get a secure mobile.
This is the securest it's going to get for you.
There's nothing else.
There's no other company that gives you secure phone and secure service.
There are a lot of companies that do secure phone.
Bring your secure phone that you already purchased, whichever it is, to our service.
And now you get both.
Now you have secure mobile.
And secure service.
Now you're protecting yourself to the max.
And then if you could afford to add a satellite phone, so this way in case the infrastructure went down now, you know, you've got, you've got a satellite phone.
Get your kids, get, you know, your family.
So this way you can stay in communication.
There's nothing worse for at least a mother to know that she cannot get ahold of her children when there is an emergency.
Right.
And this has happened, you know, we had an outage in San Diego where all of our phones went down a while back and I couldn't get a hold of my son for 24 hours.
It was pretty stressful and I don't want to live through that stress and I don't wish that stress on anyone.
So protect yourself with communications, with power and with the connect the mobile.
Absolutely, Tina.
And I was thinking about my daughter.
She's 12 years old now.
She doesn't go anywhere without the BB stick.
She has a smartphone, they're secure and protected, but she doesn't go anywhere.
If the grids go down, I know where she's going to be.
And she can text you and she can tell you that she's okay or she can ask for assistance or whatever, right?
Correct.
But we also ask people if they do get them to practice, have drills.
Communication drills is very important.
If the grid went down and you don't know how to use the baby stick, there's a video.
It's six minutes long.
It teaches you from A to Z. Anybody could use it and everybody will be able to use it.
As long as you have a smartphone, you will have satellite communication on that phone 100% of the times.
And Iridium Network, 66 satellites, anywhere on the planet.
And isn't it true that U.S.
senators use satellite phones as their backup system?
And frankly, a lot of military people, a lot of contractors, a lot of operatives all over the world, not that we endorse everything that every one of those people might be doing, who knows, in some surreptitious way, but they recognize the need of backup communications.
So they rely on satellites, don't they?
That's true.
Yes, they did a public statement last year to say, hey, satellite phones are the protective way for communication.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They are the largest users of Iridium, the military, the government.
It's not just because that they need it in the middle of the desert or everywhere.
It's also the most secured.
The Iridium 9555 This phone right here has no GPS, has no tracking, it's totally encrypted.
This is the safest phone to use and the military uses this phone because they don't want the bad guys to know their location or to intercept their phone calls.
It's almost impossible.
for anyone to listen in or read your text messages.
They have to know you're using it and have to be within 10 miles of you and they have to invest about a million dollars in equipments to be able to listen or read one text.
Wow.
So this is the most secure phone you can possibly get.
You know, that's really important.
I'm glad you mentioned that, because I remember reading, this was maybe a year ago, in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, that at times, like, some Ukrainian soldiers would light up their mobile phones.
And, you know, the Russians are very good at electromagnetic warfare technology, and they would just Locate, you know people's phones based on their cell towers start sending in missiles and it's like, you know There's a hard lesson if you're in a war zone or even like these people in in southern Lebanon They were just shopping for food at the market.
They weren't even like on the front lines of battle Let's say they're out shopping for fruit and things start exploding.
I mean this just Really re-emphasizes the importance of having secure comms, having trusted providers, and being able to trust your hardware.
Is there anything else you want to add to this before we wrap it up?
Yeah, I think we're good.
I think that's how that adds up.
Yes.
I think, you know, security.
You've got the Faraday bag, Mike, to protect your electronics.
Not only that, also to protect your body.
Look what you're exposing yourself.
Did you know that A cell phone can sit next to your head at night.
It connects 90,000 times to the cell towers.
How much radiation is that generating just while you're sleeping?
Take the phone, put it in a Faraday bag while you're asleep, protect your body for at least eight hours that you're asleep from all this EMF.
So there's a lot of benefits.
And then security.
Look, if you want to keep your phone, your iPhone, because you want security, you want Google, that's fine.
But put it in a Faraday bag when you're not using it.
Two things.
It will protect you from EMF, and then it will stop the tracking.
Right now, Google and Apple, when you're using their phone, they know what room you're in.
They know when you're asleep.
Yeah.
I mean, I think you know that when your phone rings at night, Apple knows that you're sleeping or text messages.
And then the minute you take it to look at the time, that's when it starts sending you the messages.
They are in control of you.
Take control of your own life.
Don't let big tech know everywhere you go, everything you do.
Don't let them track you.
So, very highly recommended.
Well, I travel in my vehicle parked right outside the studio.
I have a BivyStick, I have an Inmarsat, and I have an Iridium phone.
All three.
I travel with all three everywhere I go.
But, you know, I always want to have redundancy, too, in case, you know, in case one phone somehow doesn't work, I have another phone.
I'm talking about sat phones.
But what I need to add to that is the Faraday bags.
So the website, folks, is sat123.com, where you can find even these new bags.
And they've got different ones.
You've got a purse here as well.
That's interesting.
We need to talk about that in more detail later when we I need to demo that for people.
But also then for Connecta Mobile, the website is phone123.com.
That takes you to the Connecta Mobile website right here.
Phone123.com.
So thank you both for taking the time today.
Always a pleasure, Mike.
Thank you very much.
Absolutely.
I mean, thank you for what you do, and we live in an increasingly dangerous world.
I'm really, I feel really blessed that you're offering these solutions to people.
You know, not everybody's going to take advantage of it.
Some people will, and they'll be safer as a result, or they'll be more secure as a result.
And thank you for supporting our platform and what we do, because we're trying to help people get ready too.
Of course.
Yep.
Thank you so much.
We really appreciate you.
God bless.
God bless.
We appreciate you both as well.
Take care.
All right.
For those of you watching, I hope you learned some important things there.
I know that it can take time.
There's a learning curve to all these things, but it's an investment that is critical for your own safety, your own privacy and security.
All of us are going to have to learn about these technologies, practice them, and use them.
You need backup communications.
You need secure comms for your mobile phones.
We have now seen, we've just seen the weaponization of communications of the cell towers sending detonation signals to pagers and comms devices that blew up in people's hands.
This is a warning sign that we need to get serious about the security, the privacy,
