as I've talked about in my channel for a
long time the surveillance economy is
tied tightly with the mobile phone your
ID being required for transactions is
what the government calls
kyc know your customer the mobile phone
is an ID card it has kyc when you sign
up for service with a carrier your phone
is attached to your Google ID and Apple
ID which is also tied to kyc from App
Store credit cards and other kinds of
transactions your phone has unique
Hardware identifiers that are tied to
those prior IDs they already
collected internet platforms require you
to provide a phone number for two Factor
authentication so they get to identify
you then on top of this your phone
traffic is captured by the government
and every SMS ever sent or received is
stored in carrier and government
databases but there's a more private way
to use the standard phone network and
this is using a technology called Sip
and using this with a no kyc provider
today I'm going to teach you about this
really well-known technology used in
businesses called zip and VOIP Voiceover
IP but it is a technology not really
well known for use with personal privacy
there's a learning curve to using this
technology but I have solutions to ease
that learning curve so the average
person can utilize this method of
communications if you're interested in
learning what this is all about or if
you heard me talk about it in Prior
videos but you really didn't understand
what it was this is the video for you so
stay right there
if you work for a company with phones
that can dial other co-workers with
extensions you may have already used the
technology we will talk about but first
a little bit of history in the past
businesses set up internal phone systems
and this was called a PBX system or
really a private Branch exchange this
was pretty common place even a decade
ago and PBX systems were typically
proprietary hardware and quite expensive
per phone typical manufacturers of
Legacy PBX systems were avaa and EC
Nortel Panasonic and Toshiba these phone
systems communicated using standard rj11
telephone lines here's an example of
such a legacy PBX system when calling
each other inside the office and on the
same base station you just use short
extensions but when you dial out to a
normal public phone number the call is
directed by that base station to a
normal phone number which is wired in to
the base station so back in the old days
the phone company just installs a bunch
of rj11 ports for each line and then the
installer of the PBX just wires those to
the PBX base station then on the phones
you tap on the line and if it's
available you can dial out to the psdn
or you can call someone locally by
extension today if you're still using
this kind of old equipment you probably
can't get it serviced this is now
considered Legacy equipment so the new
technology that replaced it are devices
using the Internet Protocol or IP IP
based devices use normal ethernet
network cables the same ones used by
your computer to access the internet
each phone is an IP client just like a
computer but there's a dedicated server
on the network to handle calls this is
now the typical setup in a business the
business gets a sip server and then the
clients are called zp clients these
types of hardware by the way do not
allow texting so it's just really for
calls now let's learn about the term sip
so what does SIP mean while the
communication occurs over normal Network
Hardware the devices need to communicate
with each other are using a signaling
protocol you don't really need to
understand how the Sip protocol works
but you need to know how sip devices are
organized this protocol is just a common
way for voice devices to ring each other
and initiate a connection not too
different from when you use Skype or
Zoom for example for video or calls
although it is possible for a zip phone
to talk to another zip phone directly it
is pretty difficult to program these to
do that
so the actual equipment that coordinates
the translation of extensions to IP
addresses and the ringing of devices is
a central sip server and yes this is
just a computer in fact many businesses
run a free software called free PBX on a
computer to handle sip the usual way
then is that whoever sets up the Sip
server then sets up an internet
connection with a Voiceover IP trunk
provider that can trunk traffic directly
to the public switched telephone Network
or
pstn there's no wiring involved unlike
the old days in a big company this ZIP
server will be an actual computer in the
server room handling the phone traffic
now this is the business setup and not
the home user setup for many smaller
businesses and for personal use what
many people do is connect to a voice
over IP provider over the internet which
replaces that computer in the server
room so basically you have a virtual sip
server the server is not at your
location but hosted by another company
there are many Voiceover IP providers
that service businesses like ring
central nextiva Vonage Grasshopper And
many others by the way I also run one of
these virtual Voiceover IP services with
our bra virtual phone service though it
is not for business ours is for personal
use and I'll explain this later but the
general operation of all these including
our service is the same devices
communicate with each other using the
Sip protocol though this time it goes
through the internet the voice over IP
provider provides the Sip servers then
just like before if you need to talk to
a pstn phone number your call will be
directed by a trunk service to a psdn
carrier this is really no different than
the big company with the big server in
their server room Voiceover IP provider
simply provide that for you so you don't
have the cost or the maintenance
headache plus there are Services which
you cannot do with a sip server directly
like SMS and even voicemail now because
many of these Voiceover IP providers I
mentioned earlier service business
businesses their pricing is not really
suited for personal use you can check
out their pricing which they like to
hide but a typical price for a voice
over IP provider from one of these
companies is around $40 a month per
person even though they're going to show
like $30 it's not really true so they're
much too expensive for what we need to
use it for which is privacy this is why
I set up my own Voiceover IP service
that caters to to this specific personal
use Market which is a lot cheaper now
let's talk about the devices that can be
used to connect to a sip server whether
you're connecting to any of the virtual
Voiceover IP providers or to your own
sip server or to our bra virtual phone
service the devices are actually all
compatible each device has to be
programmed to connect and all that means
is that the device has to be given
credentials that are recognized by the
zp server the typical credentials are
based on a username password and the
internet address of the Sip server plus
some other details like what the
communication protocol is over the
Internet things like UDP IP or
TLS here's an example of credentials we
show for our service let me just show
you an example of a SIP device that you
program for sip
and it has a base station which is
this this connects to any ethernet port
that is available on your router then
the handset unit in this case is
cordless so it can be elsewhere but just
at a distance that can be handled by
this particular unit it's 2.4 GHz so it
should be able to handle a good distance
away in a house we actually sell this us
already preconfigured so if you don't
want to do any kind of phone programming
you can just plug it into the network
and to power and you're done what are we
looking at here with this configuration
well folks you're looking at a landline
yes this is cordless but it's still a
standard landline like the old days the
advantage of this kind of setup is that
of course it always works and no special
configuration is required it will ring
here first and if you just use this then
of course you have no mobile phone for
this line this device communicates via
the Internet provided by your DSL
provider
typically what I'm showing you here is a
very basic explanation now let's proceed
to a more capable solution when you're
doing the same thing but I'll use the
bra virtual phone service as an example
first the bra virtual phone service is a
no kyc provider meaning we give you a
phone line without asking for any kind
of ID this is actually quite unique and
pretty hard to find this means that the
phone number you get has no record shown
that can be retrieved by any third party
including the government on who is using
this phone number all they may discover
is that it is a bra virtual phone
service though that is not immediately
apparent from here I will show you that
this service is much more flexible than
I've shown you so far instead of a
hardware sip phone like this Grand
stream you can make and receive calls
using a zp Mobile app all you need is
internet access and then you can use zp
app on mobile the service can also use a
computer zp app and in addition we can
give you voicemail that we keep on the
zp server so it can be accessed from any
device and voicemail can also be
forwarded to email even the call can be
forwarded to another number now our
service offers SMS and this is also not
a given most services do not allow
personal SMS they may offer a business
SMS as a separate service and more
expensive of course so again this is a
unique offering you have full SMS and
the SMS can be received on mobile using
the Brax me app or you can send and
receive SMS on the zp apps also on bra
me my
SMS MMS or media is supported this
however is not available on any sip app
in this example here I show you
Communications using a zip app called
synetic and here's an example
[Music]
this is only on
Android the other popular app we use is
linphone and here's an example of that
the advantage of linphone is that the
same app works on all platforms iOS
Android Windows Mac OS and even
Linux basically if your phone has an
internet connection it can use these
apps for Windows there is also an app
called microsip and it looks like this
now this is the learning curve with
using sip the way it works by default
only one of the Sip connections will
ring if you're using a landline device
then if that is the first device
registered that will ring first if you
want to have the mobile app ring then I
would turn off the landline phone this
is the way sip Works each device has to
register to the server and say I'm here
and ready to accept calls multiple
devices cannot do that so usually it
causes issues when there are multiple
sub devices using a single line you can
of course use multiple lines and have
one to be a forwarding line and that
solves this issue the mobile device can
be on a forwarded line which can also be
a normal SIM card phone line the best
case scenario for using sip in a
seamless way is to use a landline at
home then use voicemail when you are not
home the voicemail can be forwarded via
email then you can reply to the party
using SMS or texting this can be done
using a single line then use another
line to call back if you need to do that
nowadays most people text anyway so it
depends on the need to call back via
voice our particular sip service can
forward the call if you forward to
another phone number then it's like
double call minutes plus that other
number may have its own fees as well you
can turn forwarding on and off an
infinite number of times and it is done
on the brme app and it's the same place
for other settings relating to bra
virtual phone
service so this is pretty easy to change
by default if you're in a plan with
voice calls you automatically get
voicemail in our particular case you
will be able to go to your SIP device
and dial Star 97 and that should connect
you to the voicemail service you will
need your mailbox password for this
which is in your account info the neat
thing about our voicemail is that it can
be forwarded to email this is the
natural operation of the bre virtual
phone service when using a sip Hardware
first the phone will ring the first
registered SIP device either a physical
landline or mobile app if the SIP device
is not reachable or busy or it rings
with no answer then the user is directed
to voicemail after four rings at that
point if you have voicemail forwarding
via email then that is triggered next if
you have forwarding to another number
then that disables voicemail although
the voicemail of the receiving phone
number would take take over that
function the general weakness of many
Voiceover IP apps is SMS the weakness is
that the zp app may not be registered
because of a lost internet connection so
it may not receive the SMS or if you're
using a landline device that has no SMS
so SMS via sip app is not 100%
particularly for receiving it's good for
sending sms again an example of a sip
app for this is
synetic now here we've solved the
problem by using the Brax me app Brax me
has a feature called my SMS so if you
can run Brax me either on a browser or
as an app or as a progressive web app on
any platform or device you can always
see my SMS my SMS is a full featured SMS
interface it shows 100% of all SMS and
received and it cannot miss any of them
this is because the information is
pulled from the carrier in real time
when you view them my SMS also supports
MMS so texted media can be seen MMS is
not supported by any sip app that I know
of including synetic because my SMS is
reliable in showing all SMS at any time
and it can also send SMS then this
definitely is going to cover your SMS
needs why having the advantage of being
able to view my SMS from any device or
any browser and for added Insurance bra
virtual phone SMS can be forwarded to
another phone line and also forwarded to
email now let's talk about a special
privacy trick and it's called sip to sip
calling as I explained at the beginning
sip is typically used in businesses
through to replace the Legacy PBX which
by Nature can call any extension on the
same PBX well this is the same thing
when using a bra virtual phone with zip
you automatically get an extension
number with bra virtual phone and so you
can call another person on bra's virtual
phone if you know their extension and
you're on the same server well this may
not be a big deal let me tell you a
little surprising detail here let's say
you install a zp landline at your older
parents house and they don't use mobile
phones then you have your own bra
virtual phone service either with a
landline or a sip mobile app if you call
your parents landline by extension this
is actually a direct sip to siip call
for which a there is no charge it does
not use call minutes and B it bypasses
the psdn so it doesn't register with
government or carrier database and see
it doesn't get recorded at all in the
transaction data of the Sip server in
other words sip to sip calling has no
records whatsoever it's pretty much the
same as calling a coworker on an
extension in your office no records of
that either this is an absolute win for
privacy especially if two parties need
to talk regularly via voice you can
actually do that without using any
complex app setup just two landlines
talking by
extension and remember that zip calling
and texting via bra's virtual phone is
done with no kyc to begin with so even
if you went to the normal pstn to
communicate with other people there will
be less data known since there is no
caller ID revealing who you are or any
identifying data attached to the phone
number having two privacy oriented
people talk using sip is amazingly
private voice calling
you can do a Voiceover IP service using
forwarding email and SMS on Brax me
without even having any sip devices the
necessity for sip is because of a need
to make a call some of you can just call
using some other number with that caller
ID and that can also suffice but the sep
solution is a way to expand your
Communications capability so you have a
robust way of handling calls and texts
the main takeaway though is that using
Voiceover IP with a no kyc provider is a
great way to make yourself disappear
from the phone network since basically
this kind of line is not attributed to
your
name folks as I mentioned in this video
I created some products to support our
need for privacy and these products are
available on our platform on brme there
are several products there that were
created to support our privacy battle
I've talked about bra's virtual phone we
also have bra mail so you can give each
platform a different email address One
account can handle that we have the
Google phone so that the link to the
Google ID is
eliminated we also have a VPN service
byes VPN to protect your IP addresses
join the over 100,000 people who are on
our app all of which are interested in
privacy and talk about these issues
daily thank you very much for watching
and see you next time
