 ## Signal
-Signal Desktop is a slave client for using Signal with an already registered account. Accounts can be registered only with a master client, either an Android or iOS device or using [signal-cli](https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli) as master. [Signal Desktop will keep linked forever](https://whispersystems.discoursehosting.net/t/will-linked-signal-desktop-keep-working-if-primary-phone-app-isnt-in-use/20465) even when not using/uninstalling the master Signal (e.g smartphone) **if Signal Desktop is used at least once a month, otherwise you'll loose the coupling to your Signal account**.

 ### Full Signal registration and usage only on Tails&Tor
 Signal can not only be registered using mobile phone numbers, but using any number (including landline, virtual numbers etc.) which is able to either receive text messages or voice calls. **If you want to do everything via Tails&Tor not requiring any other phone device, use a virtual Voice-over-IP number on the internet with an optional mailbox** (answering machine) accessible via web or mail. Set the mailbox greeting message as short as possible. During the registration procedure, Signal will call your virtual number leaving a message with the verification code.
