None of this makes sense.

If you are behind most firewalls, then you are going through a NAT, which obfuscates your IP. Since you are using a tablet, your isp is probably either the phone/cable company (like verizon) or is leasing that service from those utilities.

As mentioned dhcp gives you a new IP whenever you reconnect to your ISP. Unless your router is using "4G", which is a cell phone connection. In that case your phone/cable company is actually connected to the internet. Not you. You are off somewhere else. You are really ultimately a phone number or simm card id, even thru a router.

So unless you can prove me wrong, I cannot see how "they" could "get" your IP. Whatever that means.

Contact your provider like verizon or whoever.. If you think you are blacklisted from a bunch of sites they can fix it. If in fact that is the case. And all those issues are external to your tablet anyway.

PHONE(1)						      General Commands Manual							  PHONE(1)

NAME

       phone - Phone utility for DECnet

SYNOPSIS

       phone [options]
       Options:
       [-vVh] [-s switchhook char] [initial command]

DESCRIPTION

       phone  is  a program that allows the user to communicate interactively with users on VMS systems. Two user interfaces are available: X-Win-
       dows (GTK+) and terminal (ncurses). If X-Windows is available and compiled into phone then it will be used unless the -n flag is present on
       the command line.
       After  entering the phone command you will be presented with the phone screen which has windows for the chat and a command-line at the top.
       If you are not talking to another user then you can enter commands directly, otherwise you will need to precede commands with  the  'switch
       hook' character, which defaults to the percent sign (%).
       You  can also enter a command for phone on the shell command-line. This command will be executed when phone starts up. This makes it conve-
       nient to enter commands such as:
	'phone answer' or 'phone marsha::chrissie'

       In command mode phone understands several commands:

       DIAL <node::user>     Call a user
       ANSWER		     Answer an incoming call
       REJECT		     Reject an incoming call
       EXIT or QUIT	     Return the the command prompt
       HOLD		     Hold all callers
       UNHOLD		     Unhold callers
       HANGUP		     Hangup the phone
       DIR <node>	     Show users logged into <node>
       FACSIMILE <file>      Send <file>
       HELP		     Show this help

       All commands (apart from QUIT and EXIT) can be abbreviated to 3 characters and all (really all this time) commands are case insensitive.

OPTIONS

       -h -?  Displays help for using the command.

       -V     Show the version of phone.

       -s     Set the switch hook character. This is the character used to switch from talking to another user and entering  PHONE  commands  when
	      using the terminal interface.x

       -n     Disables use of the X-windows user interface. Use this to run phone in an xterm.
