Burner phones

[Jake163]

With all the talk about fake ads and girls trying to blackmail , harass etc I think it's time to get a burner phone or some other way of communicating , I've heard of texts apps as well but are they 100% safe . Also where can I buy a burner phone in GTA and how much do they cost ?

While ago, I got a cheap LG phone loaded with $25 of talk & text for 1 month from Chatr at London Drugs here in Vancouver. The total came to around $80.

Took almost 2 hours for the phone to work, they needed to run it through the system after initially setting it up in the store.

Phone is a piece of crap, no apps, just capable of making calls & texting ... but at least you have a temporary local phone number.

Just about any place that sells phones should have these.

Burner

Forgot to mention, there is an app called "Burner" that you can download and just use on your regular cell phone.

After signing up, enter an area code and the app will show you a list of available numbers under that area code.

Select which number you like, then the app will make calls using that number for around 5 days or so with an option to extend it.

Probably the cheapest option.

I have an app called "textnow" on my ipad, works great

I've heard there are ways to still find out the real # with apps

[justvisiting2016]

There are things that can block calls from those apps. Some escorts can not be reached if you are using an app with a fake phone number.

Best is to go to 7-11, Petro Canada, etc... buy a prepaid phone. Just buy time cards as you need them.

Of course, if you are Walter White and are going to have issues if significant others find out you have 2 phones, the app is fine. Just keep in mind you may not get a hold of everyone.

Will just grab a burner , seems safer and more convenient . How much do they cost normally ?

Burner phones

I thought with any phone in Canada you had to sign up with name ect. To activate.

Walmart has burner phones

[Thongman01]

Just buy any prepaid phone (i.e.. Chair, Telus) prices vary depending on quality of phone. There are some from flip phone style to androids. Walmart, best buy and other stores all have them. You carload them as per necessary with 10$ cards or you can load it months unlimited for 40$. The top up minutes can be bought at convenience stores and gas stations. You can hook the phone up yourself online under whatever info you want.

In Edmonton, Telus officially went from the old analog transmission system to digital, at the end of January this year. But, I had to upgrade to a new phone in November of 2016 since, there were many places where my flip phone would no longer work. When I went to the Telus store, I was told that, even though the official switch to digital was still over two months away, they were no longer properly maintaining the old analog system. Thus, an old analog phone is not going to work on a new digital transmission system.
