  • The connection to the network is fungible.

    If the phone number you give everybody is a voip number, like Google voice…

    Then it doesn’t matter who your cell phone carrier is. Buy the cheapest one, month to month.

    Visible is a good option. Just don’t move your phone number. Leave your phone number on VoIP. Don’t give anybody the phone number of your phone.

    A couple reasons, first it’s the easiest to move your phone around if you don’t have to move the number, second nobody can track your location by looking up your phone number if they don’t have your physical phone number. VoIP does not map to your phone















  • Not all new cars. But some. Whenever you get a vehicle, it’s probably a good idea to buy one of those aftermarket service manuals sold to car mechanics for your make and model. Then you can verify radio repair etc etc and what circuits to take out etc

    Besides if you’re trying to do information upsell, you don’t want your customer to have to go to a cell phone store and buy a SIM card and put it in the car. That’s extra friction they might change their mind. You want it to be always on and available, so they can just consent and get into the funnel


  • I see what you’re saying, but I don’t think there’s any universe where an advertiser will pay for traffic without any way to identify that that traffic came from an advertisement campaign

    Let me use an illustrative example,

    An advertiser selects middle class, obese, yet healthy minded people to receive an ad for their Fatboy Summer fitness campaign

    The landing page of this campaign, is not the main site for a gym, but a Fatboy Summer specific landing page with a special offer etc etc etc all very reasonable. If you click on the link you want to find more information about their special campaign offer.

    The fact that that landing page will be specific to the advertisement campaign is a given, it’s just a necessity of the transaction. Knowing these two pieces of information, you know anybody who ended up at that landing page is middle class, obese, but hopeful about getting healthy.

    This is why targeted advertisements and privacy are diametrically opposed




  • I’m not sure that’s true.

    Advertisement campaign a, takes people to landing site b.

    Anybody who shows up at site b, you know was targeted and campaign a.

    And if you’re saying b is some generalized large domain, I promise you no advertiser would ever do that. They would set up subdomains, or campaign specific domains, any landing page where they know where you’re coming from. And there’s no way to stop them from doing that

    At its core, most online advertising is just about a campaign to send people to a location. And if you can specify the campaign, and you can specify the location, you know which people came from that campaign and what they’re advertisement factors are
