Where exactly does one get an anonymous burner phone? Just want to make sure I don't accidentally get one before the ban.

Instead of making corps police their own networks and verify caller origin, we're doing this.

Burner phones don’t stop caller id spoofing which is the real issue, Brendon Carr, you dummy.

In Germany, there has been an identity verification requirement for prepaid SIM cards since 2017. Despite this law, many retail outlets do not carry out the check or sell already registered SIMs that are often issued in someone else's name. The smaller and more dubious the shop is, the higher the likelihood of it happening. Via these channels, one can usually obtain SIM cards only from small providers (MVNOs) who have leased network capacity on other networks. This loophole exists because there are many people who do not possess identification documents but still need a mobile contract for making calls or communicating.

It's actually for all phones. Right now you can go into a store and buy a phone and get service without providing an ID. All phone lines would require government issued ID.

Your rights will be dissolved and you will get nothing in return. The scam calls must never cease.

Good old Phone cabines.

The FCC is seeking comment on the proposal to require phone companies to obtain and retain, at a minimum, “the name, physical address, government issued identification number, and an alternate telephone number of any new and renewing customer before granting access to its services.”

Not everyone has an address or an alternate phone number. This would keep homeless people from being able to have phones.

No doubt people will find a way around this

I thought this already happened long ago. It's been years since I've seen burner phones/prepaid sims for sale.

Wait... Who has an alternative phone number in 2026?

Maybe you have a work phone and a personal phone but I wouldn't put my work phone down as an alternative number to my personal one. Each phone basically just signals which personality to wear for next few minutes.

Maybe back in the day when people had landlines but hell, I've never lived in an apartment where the phone outlets weren't covered in so much paint they would never work even if I wanted one. Actually who sells landline personal phones anymore? Like fine, maybe I actually want one for what ever reason, where would I buy one? I can't think of last time I saw any in a store, not Walmart, target, Costco, or best buy....

I'm a productive professional person with no need to really hide any questionable activities and legal cis white male, basically who these people love to promote but I have no idea how I would complete thus task of having an alternative phone number

Every single interaction of this administration with society makes society worse. It's so bad it can seem comical if this type of bullshit catches you at the right time. These MAGAt mother fuckers have been yelling "freedom" for decades, only to embrace the erosion of privacy by the pieces of shit they elected. Unlike Doc Holiday, their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

How about blocking all the virtual numbers that are scams and give a not in service error if you call them back

Simple. Not in service? Don't connect the fucking call.

Fuck that!!! Time to get cash from atm and go buy one just to have it
