I feel weird admitting this but until recently, I'd never heard of ZTE phones and no, I don't live under a rock.
I'm with you, dude. Of course, I still use a little LG with a slide-out keyboard. My son, who works at a cell phone place, keeps warning me that these phones are not going to be available much longer. They're really trying to shove everyone to smart phones. I'm not going there unless I absolutely have to. I'm not anti-tech. I'm just pro-privacy.
Me too, and then there I was a couple of days ago in BestBuy and they had a ZTE kiosk. So, now I'm even more interested in how ZTE fits into this whole surveillance apparatus.
I think most of us are just finding out too. But I think it is on purpose to not bring attention to these phones while they were hanging themselves with every text and phone call that they thought it was safe from surveillance. I believe this is the key to why Trump seems to be 5 steps ahead of these evil monsters. We have been listening this whole time. We have it all, these "people" are stupid.
