Is this legal?
Yes. Fortress Freedom Phone Ltd is a UK private limited company registered at Companies House (No. 17168647). The product is sold for legitimate confidentiality — business confidentiality, legal privilege, journalistic source protection, personal safety, and individual privacy. We operate within UK law and our obligations as a UK operator. We do not market the service for evading lawful investigation in any jurisdiction, and we decline enquiries that suggest that use case. See our
Acceptable Use Policy.
How do I pay?
We accept all common payment methods, treated equally: cash (in person or by post), UK bank transfer (personal or business), card, and cryptocurrency (Bitcoin or Monero). None is preferred and none is required. Cards are processed through standard UK payment infrastructure. Crypto invoices are available on request.
What's included in the £100/month line, and what does data cost?
The £100/month line covers the managed UK number, voice and text in and out, ongoing support, and 5 GB of mobile data each month. If you exceed 5 GB in a month, additional data is billed at £8 per GB; we'll always notify you before charging overage. Most customers — even regular travellers — do not hit the 5 GB cap.
Why not just an iPhone?
iPhones are good consumer-privacy devices, but they are a closed appliance built around Apple's services. Our handsets are hardened from the ground up: locked down, with the device-side telemetry pipeline removed, and with controls that can be independently audited. The hardened software underpinning the device is open-source — there is no requirement to take a vendor's word for what is running.
Will my normal apps work? WhatsApp, Signal, banking, Microsoft 365?
Yes. WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, banking, browsers, and the vast majority of Android applications run normally — there is nothing for the customer to install or configure. A small number of banking and payment applications refuse to run on hardened devices; we identify any in your stack before sale and demonstrate working alternatives.
Can I dial 999?
On the Hardened Handset, yes — your normal SIM and consumer carrier work as they always did. On the Full Freedom Phone's managed UK line, no — that line is a managed service and is not bound to an emergency-services location. We require customers to keep a regular phone available for emergencies, and we state this clearly at the point of sale.
What if a device is lost or stolen?
Notify us, and we revoke the device's access to the managed line within minutes. Cold-seized, the device is locked, encrypted, and configured to wipe before unlock. A replacement is dispatched on the next business day; the customer's number continues on the new device.
What data do you hold about me?
The minimum required to deliver, bill, and support the service: contact details, payment details for the chosen payment method, and the call-detail records that UK billing and operator obligations require. We do not record calls, retain message content, or aggregate customer data for sale. Retention is per our published privacy notice and the legal minimum. UK GDPR data subject rights apply.
Do you cooperate with law enforcement?
We comply with valid UK court orders, production orders, and lawful operator obligations — that is what UK law requires of us, and we do not pretend otherwise. What we do not do is provide informal or expedited access to any party, sell customer data commercially, or volunteer information beyond what we are legally required to produce. The data we can be compelled to produce is limited by what we hold, and what we hold is limited by data minimisation.
Can I cancel? What happens if I stop paying?
UK distance-selling rules apply: 14 days to cancel from delivery for the device. The Full Freedom Phone subscription can be cancelled any month. Seven days of grace after a missed payment, then the managed line is suspended; payment resumes within minutes of receipt. The handset becomes yours outright after 24 months of service on the Full Freedom Phone tier; on the Hardened Handset tier it is yours from day one.
You don't claim "untraceable" anywhere on this site. Why?
Because the claim would not be honest. What we offer is a finished, hardened device and a managed line with structural privacy properties — fewer data collection points, minimised retention, and no consumer-carrier billing record. That is a meaningful product. A vendor that promises more than that is one we'd treat with suspicion ourselves.
Why trust a company this new?
Trust the foundations rather than the brand. The hardened software the device runs is open-source and independently audited. The company is a UK private limited, listed at
Companies House, with director and registered office on the public record. UK consumer law and GDPR apply. The product properties on this page are structural, not promissory: if the company ceased trading tomorrow, the device on the customer's desk still functions.
