Bree, you need to be careful if you are going to make phone calls from your current location to look for your parents. It would be very easy for someone to trace your call.
Here's a tip: Dial *67 before dialing any number. It will mask the telephone number you're calling from, and "Private" will show up on the called parties' caller ID's and phone records.
OR, Get a VOIP phone service at Jonas' house. It's easy and you can choose any area code for your phone number. You can make it look like you're calling from Kalamazoo... |

I think they mean the *67 part since Bree mentioned it.

Great job, Bree. At least the people you are calling won't be able to figure out where you are calling from. Glad you took my advice 
Good luck in finding your parents. |

This isn't true! She is going to be in danger. Easily when a private number calls you, you can call your phone company and request to know who dialed that number. They can send you your bill or look it up themselves...and they can find the number that was blocked!

Bree, this is somewhat true. Requesting this information usually requires a court order though. If The Order has a judge in their pocket, or someone at the phone company who processes these requests, then you are already in danger. Even if not, if anyone that you called has Automatic Number Identification on their lines, then they already have you. Dialing out from a static location is always risky. Let's hope that The Order has overlooked this.
In the future, only make calls from random pay phones that are not near your location. Never use the same phone twice, and don't leave the phones in too large an area unused. This lack of data in itself could be data.
Alternatively, stock up on disposable cell phones. Never use more than the minutes that comes with it. And again, never use too near to your location and always dispose of the phone after a single call.
Do not rely on VoIP. Skype can be tracked even more easily than traditional phone lines, regardless of what some others might claim. Also, go back to using Internet Cafes to post your videos. You are not anonymous on the Internet without great effort.
Be safe out there. I hope I haven't put you in any more danger than you already are, because there are some that do not want this knowledge to be out there. Trust no one, not even Daniel or even your stuffed friends.

You've been reading the Mafia forums, haven't you? This is great advice - especially the use of disposable cell phones - just like La Cosa Nostra.

Actually, no. But I'm old enough to remember what a blue box is and how it was used

edit: Oh yeah, plus I had a good portion of the core classes for a law enforcement degree under my belt before I changed majors
