Burner phones

[bottomguyusually]

Almost everyone has old phones they no longer use.

You don't need the newest phone to get it activated and use it for a burner.
Just dig out your old blackberry or Nokia or something.

This is true, I myself have a few older smart phones. However, since they were originally registered to me, they are traceable to me, so if you pay cash for a pay as you go phone, they can`t trace it back to you.

Question for the burner gurus

Say I bought a used smartphone that was unlocked off craiglist or kijiji or a flea market, could I then just go into a place that sells pay as you go sim card? Do they sell sim cards like that? how does that work? Would I not be anonymous persay save the person I bought the phone from who is anonymous to me as I to them. I am wanting a burner phone anonymous, pay cash never use my own internet connection to activate etc...

I got an old Motorola Razr with a Telus SIM card. So I just get a new sim card and buy a calling card?

Does a pay as you go SIM card assign you a phone number anonymously? IF not how does one get a phone number for a burner phone anonymously?

The 7-11 Speak Out is definitely way to go. Phone and pay as you go plan. Anonymous activation, minutes last a year if you don't use them. Residual dollar amounts are added to next years balance on renewal. If however you don't like the idea of carrying two phones Fongo app (VoIP) is another great solution.

I paid $60.00 for a flip top phone at Walmart yesterday. Rogers has a variety of cards available. I bought a couple $10.00 cards. I stopped by a Rogers store and they activated for free.
