Comment on Can you purchase a burner phone anonymously in the US?

There’s options out there, yes, but you have to go look for it. The way I got my burner was buying a google pixel (for graphene os,) with cash and then putting it on a pay as you on a cash-funded visa got card
Verizon happily hooked me up.
(I use the phone for going to protests and such things.)

Buying a phone anonymously is easy, you can do that in every phone store.
It’s the sim card that’s the problem. if you pay for your service with VISA, it’s not anonymous.

You can buy a sim card and service for cash at most drug stores and Walmart

OK, that’s USA then, I don’t think you can do that legally here in Denmark.

As I mentioned in my original comment…. It’s specifically a visa gift card.
Which you get by paying cash and reload by paying cash, with no information given. Verizon just goes you the sSIM card when you set up on their service. (And the only real reason to do that is so I don’t have to go into their stores all the time.)

Thanks for the explanation.
