I’ve been thinking about this for a bit but I couldn’t come up with anything.

The idea is that you have a VOIP number and some self-hosted VOIP infrastructure connected to a landline phone. WhatsApp, Signal and voice traffic from other apps would be redirected to this landline phone instead of your mobile phone.

Is there a way to do this? How do I get started?

Reasoning: I can now keep my phone isolated, wrapped in a thick towel and inside a solid box to prevent it from eavesdropping on me inside my own house.

Please do not respond with messages like “you’re too paranoid”, it doesn’t help.

Thanks

      Hmm, do you think there’s a way to have the ringing happen on the speakers but the conversation on the headphones? TBH if this is possible then I don’t need to use such complicated measures

        If you’re on the pc you can just switch audio output to your speakers, then run to your pc and switch audio output to headphones to proceed with the call
