More Information

Why JackTel instead of your store-bought Android operating system? Device privacy is a growing concern among users, especially in the USA. Android, at its core, is an open-source project. The core is known as AOSP(Android Open Source Project). AOSP is very stripped and somewhat harmless. By the time this core has closed source software added it becomes problematic. Every device from every carrier contains bloatware, trackers and closed source software. Every App wants access to your personal data. This can be frustrating to manage. Why does a game need your physical location, inside and out of buildings? Your privacy is harvested and literally sold to the highest bidder. Have you ever wondered how the two largest big tech companies are worth an estimated 2 trillion dollars when they offer free services? It’s not really free. You are the product! Data collected with these systems is harvested and sold at a profit. You are worth an estimated $80 per month to big tech. Everyone has a story about how they were creeped out by big tech. Your personal life is the product. Take control of your data JackTel.
Several google free operating systems exist. Getting an AOSP (Android Open Source Project) system on your device is often complicated for most. We eliminate the risk of killing your device with DIY ROM loads. JackTel has done the homework for you. We source the phones, load the software and put some protection in place for that purchase. We also test and use the very products we sell. We may test 40 phone cases before offering one to you. Jack tel devices may have been loaded/tested to three new devices over a 6-month period before a retail model is chosen for sale.

Phones are software developed and loaded in the USA. We are a USA based entity.
Is JackTel for everyone? Absolutely not. Like quitting smoking, you have to choose to quit big tech. It’s not all road made of gold. Replacing apps created by billion-dollar tech companies is sometimes hard. Jacktel devices are very user friendly. You are free to use the Apps you want. This can include big tech apps such as popular map systems. Have an app you can’t live without but it owned by big-tech? Jack Tel devices will help reduce the data collected by these apps. Good alternates exist for every app. Hooked on G* Music? Try Apple music. Cant live without Gmaps? Try a superior replacement called Sygic. Alternates are often built with open-source code. It’s never been easier to switch.
