Got my Burner phone from Seven Eleven

I never thought of that. It makes perfect sense, and will, as in issue, grow exponentially as more of us by burners. Perhaps their main concern is goofs booking them for fun and then no showing. A number is not a perfect guard against this, but it is something.
It's not a perfect guard. But it makes finding you a little less obvious. With a bit a work anyone can probably trace you. Question is how much work is someone willing to put in versus the trade off. Unless of course you take EVERY precaution in the book such as calling from a location not close to your home etc. But that is just annoying level of paranoid.
At least with a burner phone and some basic precautions like not calling your own phone or any friends or family, you are not a low hanging fruit for LE.
What do you mean by 'No Phone'? You mean, you get a compatible SIM card to insert into your own smartphone of any model?
I meant " No the phone was 149 versus 100 as stated"
So the cost of the phone was 149. Then I for 25 minutes got about 100 minutes of talk time.
Cheapest model there was for $80 bucks or so. So not that much a difference. But I got the one for $149 since I don't have an android phone. And thought it might come in handy also having an android phone down the road for other things.
You guys got ripped off.
If you spend $100 on top up you can get Alcatel 871A for $29.95 and an additional $25 dollar credit.
With taxes I spent $147 total and got a new phone and included $125 of calling credit.

Meh.....the way I see it time is money. And don't usually have time to shop around. So i'm all for the convenience. But good to know for some of the others.
yes *777# There are other codes
Knowing you, you'll be burnin up those minutes fast chattin with the fine ladies
If you really want, you can dual sim your phone
I would think that tracing a phone doesn't prove anything. So that phone in your possession called an agency so what ? I would think that they are going to bust people in the act, catching the "JOHN" with his pants down pun intended and finding the hobby phone and cash in the wallet. And if that happens, you are fucked no matter what phone you have ?
Haven't looked into the Bluetooth side of things, but will your car store #'s you call after you delete them? Like a hard drive of sorts? Gawd I'm getting too paranoid...!
What I mean is to pair, or not to pair.

You could just use a free proxy like boomproxy.com when checking your balance. That way the IP can't be directly traced to you. That's what i did when activating the phone online.
Moreso keeping you off a "target" list if their Agencies records get acquired. Ie. if you used your real phone and have your real name on your voicemail that could just stand for trouble. Particularly if you have a reputation to maintain and don't need your activities to be public knowledge.
