Title: Prepaid cellphones?
Post by: Mithrandir634 on June 26, 2013, 09:39 am
What is the best option to remain anonymous and not getting traced? Tracphone? Apps like textsecure? From the reading I have done, I am leading towards a tracphone from CVS/walmart since i can buy it anonymously and activate it at public wifis. I would just be selling small time to my friends and their respective friends. Thanks for your help guys

I know nothing is ever 100%. I'm simply seeking the best option available.

I personally have a Tracfone myself.  I bought it at Walgreens with cash, and activated it online using Tor on my neighbor's unsecured WiFi.  I used a burner Tormail address and fake info to setup the account.  Someone else might be able to give you better advice, but it seems like you have the right idea.  Just don't provide information that could possibly identify you when buying/activating the phone or adding airtime.

Can any Tracfone be used as a wifi hotspot for tethering?  From what I can tell the answer is no.
