Burner Phone

Any suggestions as to where to hide a burner phone.
also I am on a family plan. is my location always shown and can all my calls an texts be seen

It's not a burner phone if it's part of a family plan. You can hide it wherever you want, but very likely the other phones on the plan can find it.


Get educated on what a true burner phone is.


Or better yet, get educated on burner apps that you can hide on your phone that let you discard a number with a couple of taps and get a brand new number.

if you can deal w/ a separate phone, buy a tracfone and then buy 90 day minutes & texts cards, NOT the data cards (they only last 30 days).

I'm guessing hiding it from a S.O.


Somewhere they're not going to look. If you're not using it turn it off, Have it locked with PIN/Password. Have your "story" in place for when they do find it.


Part two of your question...are you saying your "burner" is another line on you plan? If so that is NOT a burner.


Location, calls and texts...depends on your plan, it can also depend on apps, as example are you using some family plan iPhone and "Find MY"? Or do they know your password?


If you really are using a 3rd phone on the same plan for "hobbying" you need to ditch that phone and either:


A) Use "burner apps" I like MySudo (not really a "burner app" as an alternate for texting but depending on your phone OS I'm sure there are multiple apps available


B) Go to best buy, walmart, etc buy a tracphone and minutes with cash

My burner is separate from my personal phone

Get food stamps then bring me the "Notice of approval" letter I will hook you up. Keep you phone in you pocket. That why I like the older 5" phones the inch makes a difference in price if breakers and how to hide it. And when you need reading glasses.

??????? Then how is attached to your family plan? As was posted buy a tracfone for 20bucks. Buy the minutes with cash, ONLY. It won't be connected in anyway with your other numbers. I keep mine locked in my work vehicle, and it never goes in the house. Be sure you have a charger you can use in your car, so you can keep it powered up.

My suggestion is to just sign up with google voice ( but do not download the app , just get on chrome in incognito mode, and sign in every time. then whenever you close the browser all traces are gone from your phone )

In case the OP does not use chrome as a browser, to get into incognito mode, it's the three vertical dots at the top right of the screen. Nice mention on the incognito mode.
