Don't hand over your main phone. Start with a second phone and migrate gradually.
The Problem
You're a contractor. Your phone is your lifeline—calls from clients, estimates, scheduling, payment apps. The idea of sending it away to have the operating system replaced by a stranger feels reckless. What if something goes wrong? What if you lose a day's work? What if your banking apps break?
We get it. That's why we don't ask you to risk your primary device.

Includes privacy phone setup, 30-day coaching, and migration plan
Our Solution: The Two-Phone, Phased Migration
You purchase a new or refurbished Pixel phone. If you choose refurbished, we recommend Orchard. We install GrapheneOS — no Google, no tracking.
Phase 1: The Privacy Phone
- We assist you to purchase either a refurbished Pixel or you can purchase a new one directly from Google. We install GrapheneOS—no Google, no tracking.
- You keep your primary phone fully operational. No changes, no risk.
- We set up the privacy phone with essential apps (Signal, ProtonMail, privacy-focused browser) and show you how to use it alongside your main device.
Phase 2: Parallel Operation (Week 1-2)
- Carry both phones. Use the privacy phone for personal communications, private browsing, sensitive tasks.
- Keep your main phone for work calls, banking, apps that still need Google services.
- We provide daily 10-minute coaching to answer questions and troubleshoot.
Phase 3: Gradual Shift (Week 3-4)
- Move one work app at a time to the privacy phone (calendar, email, estimating tool).
- Test banking apps with workarounds (we guarantee compatibility).
- Once you're confident, migrate your SIM card and make the privacy phone your primary.
Phase 4: De-Google Your Old Phone (Optional)
Once you're fully on the privacy phone, we can de-Google your old device as a backup or sell it.
Why This Works for Contractors
- Zero risk – Your main phone stays untouched until you're ready.
- No downtime – You never miss a call or lose access to critical apps.
- Learning curve – You get comfortable with the new OS without pressure.
- Exit strategy – If you decide privacy-first living isn't for you, you still have your original phone.
