Any more details on the type of phones they use? iPhones, stock Android, feature phones?

Would be neat to get a tech breakdown of the phones.

Seems like Google pixels. Just do an image search for the product name and you’ll see it for sale from “spy stores” that sell things like hidden cameras.

Which tells you a little about how price insensitive the users are.

Who chooses a $800 phone as the basis for a service only offering text chat when a $50 phone would work just fine?
