All,

I need to get a burner phone- neve had one. Could someone please fill me in on where and what to get?

Thanks for any pointers.

They used to sell these cheap prepay $20 phones in a box at Walmart.

Not sure if those are still available. Apps like TextNow and Google Voice are good too.

But a Walmart burner prepaid phone paid with cash and activated with a dummy email is the way to go.

There are many free text apps.

Tracfone, that's what I was referring to about a cheap phone in the box from Walmart. Been a while since I used one but they are ideal.

You can get it at Walmart around $25 and comes pre-loaded with some minutes. You can spend $25 reload every 90 days - about $8.50/month. Talk is about $0.25/minute and text is $0.20 each, but you can buy 200 texts for $4.99/month which equates to $15.00 every 90 days for 600 texts and about 40 minutes of talk every 90 days (from the same $25 reload) - if you really need to talk.

I use a TracFone. I got an Android phone a couple of years ago for under $100. Just had to renew which was $100 for the year and includes enough minutes and text to last the year (for me at least). You can buy cards at Walmart with cash which keeps it as anonymous as can be.

Literally no cash needed when using Talkatone, Text Free , or Text+. Just download the account and login with your hobby account when you’re ready to play.

Verizon Wireless sells tracfones on ebay that come with a year service and 1200 or 1500 texts and calls plus some data. I buy a new one every year.
