    get a burner phone and have a homeless person pay for it with cash… so you dont get on cameras (make sure you dont bring it home, dont have your regular phone next to it, dont drive with it while its ON, avoid all cameras, etc…)

    It really depends on where you are located. Some jurisdictions allow activation of SIM cards without personal info, some do not. Then there’s the matter of physical and financial surveillance.

    But seriously, unless you are actually that desperate for some reason, why would you have a hobo pay for a burner phone? Wouldn’t that being recorded on camera be more suspicious?

    just don’t link id to your number and don’t activate it near your home

        you can make a google account without a phone number by using an android 4 device.
        also what i nean is you can just get a sim card from a normal carrier or any reseller (go with resellers if possible, like small kiosks/grocery stores that resell sim card boxes).
        This may not work in countries sith mandatory id verification for phone numbers tho

    Use your Sim only when you’re far away from your house. Avoid eSim, as they require to register with a carrier.
