Conclusion

Yes, it is a lot to take in, but it is worth the research to find the right choice for your needs and budget. I am always available to chat to help you through your process. Use my contact page to set up a date and time to chat about this and other topics you may have.

I did not add iPhone & Samsung secure phones as I personally to not trust those companies on the topic of privacy.

My personal choice is to use my existing cell phone for now, and use one of the other operating systems and stay away from data. As data is one of the issues when it comes to tracking.

I wish you all the best in your search.
