    Default burner phone for all my 'endeavors'?

    I want to get a metro phone to use for escorting (i.e. posting back page ads etc) mainly, but also to give phone number to customers at the club, massage work and even to take pictures for ads. was thinking of some samsung 7 phone.

    is this safe and anonymous?


    I haven't done any ads with phone numbers ever. my friend uses sideline, but i don't like that you might lose the number after a month and the fact that the app is on my phone.

    The thought behind a new phone is that it's totally separate, i can turn it off etc.

    I know the taking pictures on your phone thing isn't the classiest but i like it because it is candid. and let's face it it goes with BP.

    my real phone number is connected to my vanilla job so if you google my real name and office comes up. i have given it out to SC customers in the past, but want to stop that.

    the idea is: burner phone = $$$ and my regular phone is my private, real life phone.

    You can get a Google voice number.

    I don't like google voice personally as I know a few people who have had their real numbers show up via glitches with GV. I personally love the "burner" app- you can keep the same number as long as you'd like, have more than one number, etc. it's totally separate from my real number and info so no anonymity concerns. It's affordable, and goes they cell connection so doesn't use data or require wifi. Also don't have to worry about keeping up with a 2nd phone. I'm very pleased with it, if nothing else you could give it a shot until u get a separate phone if you decide to go that route.

    thanks guys. yes, i personally don't like GV. i'll try the burner app. i have tried sideline and line 2 but i thought the separate phone is a step safer, ince i can go to metro or t mobile and basically make up a name and they won't check. so there is zero connection to me.

    with the apps i get confused. and one more thing that i don't like with the apps it's more limited. like i can have a whole new whats app and everything with a new phone.

    Actually, I have two different burners from Virgin mobile and the sideline app. You can have your customers buy burner phones off Amazon and you reprogrammed them yourself

    No. Google voice is still linked to you/your main email/your IP address/etc (if you register it right, your customers might not know but Google does and if shit hit the fan, I bet they cooperate with popos/law enforcement)

    Burner phone is linked to you (most stores have video surveillance plus I'm sure you have to register the phone with some of your real data) - unless you pay some random person to buy it for you and never tell anyone they bought it for you.

    *Disclaimer - don't do anything illegal

    i have a friend who works for metro and you don't even have to show ID if you're getting a prepaid phone and can put any name. that's why dope boys use it all the time. and i'm sure they wouldn't go so far to go all the way back to video surveillance and try to track down when the phone was bought etc.

    but I agree on the GV that it's not safe or anonymous. plus i don't like how you can tell it's a GV by that I have to press 1 etc. unless that has changed.

    Well they would and do. Law enforcement do use store surveillance to track purchases made from people who they are trying to prosecute for a crime - if they have no other hard evidence. If they really want to they could get the date/location of purchase, roll the footage (cameras at every register), and voila. This is just one example http://nypost.com/2014/03/09/baby-ma...tack-ex-video/

    But I think likelihood of them doing this to a lady Jane Doe not going on killing or robbing spree is slim though not impossible.

    Also burner phones have GPS which can be tracked by law enforcement https://consumerist.com/2012/08/15/c...out-a-warrant/

    Not to mention the call history of the phone could be traced to.

    I doubt this would happen, unless one happens to be on some most wanted list, but I'm just saying no one is as anonymous as we think.

    And yeah I remember giving a dude my google voice number and he's like "hey I called you the other day and is that a google voice number?" Lol.

    Anyhow out of all the options burner phone is better than GV in my opinion plus you seem savvy so I'm sure you'll be fine.

    I don't see why not. With the work phone you can deduct the entire monthly payment off your taxes.
