hey guys I'm son I'm a privacy and security researcher and you're watching the privacy guides in the past two episodes I went into great detail at explaining why signal is such an amazing app for privacy I went about comparing SMS versus iMessage versus signal from a technological standpoint and I also explain why I believe governance is everything if you haven't watched those episodes I'll link them up here or there I don't know which site it is yet and I'll put them in the description I recommend looking at those first unless you're ready to pull the trigger with signal and you've made your choice now if that's the case today's episodes for you I'm gonna be showing you guys how to set up signal using the phone number that you currently have for your phone or perhaps using another phone and what are the pros and cons of both of these approaches now if you're going to be using the phone number that you're currently currently that you're currently using to make calls and send messages well that's great because signal will use your contacts to build your social graph and if you're using the same number while your contacts already have that in their phone so you'll be discoverable by them so as soon as you install signal for the first time boot they'll know about it and you can start using signal whoo that was a long day too okay now that being said since that number is already in the public domain well as soon as you're on signal they'll know and the alternative to that is to use a fresh number that was never associated with your identity on signal and that's actually a way of having even more privacy but I mean as I said you won't be discoverable so there's pros and cons if you want to have a number if you want to create a signal account with a number that isn't a number that you currently own well you need a separate phone number and there's two approaches that I've used to do that number one approach is to walk in a store and get a SIM card on a prepaid plan in Canada Rodgers offers pretty good prepaid plans you can just walk in a store get a SIM card is about twenty bucks and then you can put money on to that SIM card and as long as you put at least $10 on the simcard every six months you're the owner of the phone number you have to make sure you never lose a phone number because if you lose the phone number well you've just lost your signal account so that's pretty simple the cool thing with that approach is when you walk in the store they don't ask you for ID so in the privacy world we call that kyc know your customer Rogers is not obliged by law to take some of...
