We found an American made Cell Phone made by Purism; a company with self appointed ethical standards created for the protection of the individual and their privacy. “We also believe strongly that the customer, not us nor anyone else, should be in control of their computers and in control of their privacy, and this along with our commitment to Free Software guides all of our design decisions.”
The Librem 5 USA has some great features; it does not track you, and the software is open source. It has several layers of privacy protections and the phone trackers are disabled by default. GNU+Linux is the operating system that will not wholesale gather your data for profit by a parent company.
The Librem 5 Smartphone has three kill switches; camera and microphone, WiFi and Bluetooth, and celluar baseband can easily be disabled or enabled with just a flip of a switch. As long as your celluar modem is on, your provider can triangulate and know your location. If you want to know for sure that your cellphone isn’t tracking you, you can turn off the celluar bseband switch.
Help the Planet and stop throwing away your cell phone when the battery dies; the Librem 5 USA will include a non-soldered, serviceable battery that you the user can easily replace.

they Robbed me as well of $3500 dollars for a laptop and a Librem 5 phone about 3 years ago, every time I contact they tell me theyll ship the laptop in a month… the month never comes and never does the refund, I believe this companies only goal is to rob people in the name of privacy.. DO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY YOUR MONEY!!!
**** DON'T TRUST PURISM WITH YOUR MONEY!! ****
I purchased a Librem 14 version 1 laptop computer with 32GB DDR4 RAM and dual 500GB SSD hard drives on August 20, 2021 for $1,996.00 from this company. Their website said due to supply chain issues that shipping would take around 8 weeks. I contacted Mladen Pejakovic who is the Support Manager for Purism on on October 12, 2021 to ask about an ETA for when my laptop would be shipped and I was told they were restocking on October 18 and shipping should resume that week. I next contacted them on November 1 to see if my laptop had shipped at which point they said my laptop was expected to ship out the second week of December, so I told them I wanted a refund. Mladen told me it would take several weeks and I told him they have 7 working days to refund my money per the FTC. Today is the 7th working day from November 1 so they are no longer in compliance with FTC rules.
