There's a limousine with blacked out windows.

This phone is actually for serious organized criminals, such as members of biker gangs who may assassinate one another, or even members of the Sinaloa drug cartel.

They're not your normal business executives.

And in some cases, phantom secure phones were used to plan the hits between these rival groups.

Phantom secure promised to keep criminals' messages outside of the reach of law enforcement.

You didn't have to trust an ordinary mobile phone anymore.

You could buy phantom secure, and you could continue with your drug trafficking without the cops coming and arresting you.

Anom.

Anom presented itself as the next generation of encrypted phone, something like the Royals Royce of the industry.

So you would open up the phone and to get to the Anom messaging application itself, you'd actually have to go through the calculator app.

It then had all of this other stuff, like you could send scrambled voice memos.
