PROTECTION FROM NETWORK VULNERABILITIES
A network that protects your data and devices
Subscribers to conventional mobile network operators are all subject to risk. Devices have vulnerabilities that can be exploited – once compromised, rogue actors can gain access to personal information.
Conventional networks contain vulnerabilities
Vulnerabilities and backdoors to the mobile network are regularly used by state actors, spy agencies, and fraudsters to locate a mobile phone. The different techniques used work regardless of whether the phone is in use – it just needs to be switched on and connected to a mobile network. They allow the location – and, by extension, the user – to be located at any time. For most, this is an acceptable risk – but if you are concerned about data held on your device, you need to close these loopholes. Trustmobile takes care of this for you
How we protect you
We can block requests to obtain location, or alternatively, provide fake locations. So, the actual location of your device will either never be revealed to illegitimate enquiries, or we can provide spoof locations that match a different behaviour pattern.
The network you can trust
Trustmobile is a premium, ultra-safe mobile service that provides intelligent security automation to protect your data.
Unlike other security solutions, we protect the whole device, so you are defended against all threats – from the network, from AdTech tracking, from rogue actors, and more.
It’s a simple service that easily scales and provides the connectivity you need to ensure your data is safe, while allowing you to choose the communications channels that suit your needs.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the product and billing.
The International Mobile Subscriber Identity is a globally unique tag used by SIMs that identifies every mobile subscription. It effectively acts as an address to identify a subscriber within the country, and mobile carrier. IMSIs are used for routing so that traffic makes its way back to the home network. It is your on-network signature.
It’s essential to protect an IMSI to prevent fraud. Most subscribers have a single IMSI that never changes (unless you lose the SIM card) – but not those of Trustmobile.
The Mobile Subscriber ISDN Number is a phone number. It’s the number used to reach your device and to connect you to different services. It is used for both messaging and when you sign up for an application, such as iMessage, Signal or WhatsApp.
While you might only wish to give your mobile number to a limited number of people, it’s still used by the network – so can be vulnerable to bad actors.
A virtual phone number can be used instead of the actual MSISDN associated with a SIM, so that the number that is provided to contacts and used for messaging is unrelated to any identity retained on the SIM or visible on the mobile carrier network. This means that the identity with respect to your contacts and applications that you use can be shared, while the underlying identity is hidden from sight. Think of this as a mail forwarding address without providing your home address.
We manage this process with our virtual number management solution – and we can also offer additional virtual numbers from networks around the world, so you can change these for different situations. You can also build circles of trust – sharing one identity generally, while restricting access to others.
No, we don’t. We provide data-only services, so we can protect your data footprint and avoid creating the more obvious trail left by voice calls. You can easily use one or more of your virtual identities with applications, such as Signal or WhatsApp.
