Burner Phone Issue
- Thread starter Cock Throppled

On the contrary. I cringe at split infinitives and cry when someone writes "to" rather than "too" or "your" instead of "you're."
Just being thorough though, through and through.
Fixed it for you. You probably couldn't care less. Or in you case you probably could care less.
I send screenshots of my website constantly because y’all can’t be bothered to just go there and read it. I tried sending links for a while but that didn’t seem to be simple enough.
Burner phones can accept MMS, your just need to pay for data.
No worries. Glad to help.
(And I'm calling myself out for the "r" in "your" in my previous post. Should be "you".)

I think a lot of them have a "rates sheet" they have saved and answered the questions most guys are asking. I find Asian providers tend to do this too, maybe because English isn't strong. Plus it saves time going back and forth.
Or do you mean they send pictures/videos? I sometimes get pictures, not videos. I'd assume they're fake anyways
I want to resurrect this thread to ask what phone plans you all use for your burner phones. I have 711 Speakout pay as you go but there's no option to add data. Pay as you go plans used to let you pay $10 one time for a small amount of data when you needed it. Terrible price per MB but that's exactly what we would need here.
Now those add-ons are all gone and they want you on a monthly plan.
However I don't use my burner monthly these days 😬

It's a weird setup - you'd think there would just be some package that allows data to tick off the account balance anyway, but nope. As you say, their plans have become problematic. It's like they don't understand the concept of the occasional user. I do not do much with my burner, unless I am booking a session or in the act of going to one. And anyways, isn't the idea that a burner is supposed to be as anonymous as you can make it? That does not mesh with having an ongoing plan.
As long as the number is displayed, nobody knows whether it's a burner phone, or not. Most won't take bookings through apps, though.
How does one differentiate between burner number and non-burners (those issued by Telus, Rogers, etc.)? Burners get 604, 778 and 236 prefix as well.
There is no such thing as a burner number.
A burner phone is one about which you don't much care and can discard (burn) it without worry if necessary.
You can only differentiate between voip numbers (what people might also refer to as app numbers) and regular carrier provided numbers. There are websites like phonevalidator.com where you can put a number and it tells you which provider has service for the number. So if you see Rogers, Telus, Bell you know they are legit numbers (this should also include prepaid sims like 7-Eleven, petrocanada and lots of other options). If it comes back as Iristel then its most likely an app based number like textnow or talkatone.
Burner phones just mean a number that you don't want to be associated with yourself and are willing to part away with it once its use is done. A burner number could very well be a prepaid option from Robelus or could be one of the apps.
This is what I was referring to. Sorry if I got the burner/app/etc. mixed up
Thanks, I thought as much. I read what @ploplayer228 wrote and I thought there may be a new thing, so I wanted to check.
Got it, thanks.
All that said, when it’s time to Flame out my burner phone or sim card, I like to place it in a tin trash can, spinkle liberally with lighter fluid, top with seasoned kindling, put a cast iron pot on top, melt the coconut oil, pop some badass popcorn, and melt in some real butter, finish with pinch-ground seasalt flakes.
It’s like a viking funeral with netflix feast. 🤪

Speakout is still the cheapest for occasional talk & text. We should hold on that 365 days expiry. The lack of MMS is the only big issue here (for other needs, WiFi should do, even using your main phone as a WiFi hotspot should be fine). Some SPs/agencies are ok with switching to WhatsApp after the initial contact. Other than that, I maybe missed a dirty picture or two. Not a problem so far.
The Speakout site doesn't say directly a plan is required. A new activation seems to force it. The site mentions deactivating a plan though. Not tested personally, but it seems we could add a plan (minimum $25/month if data, steep) and then ask to deactivate it (no refunds, it will be active for a month). From unofficial Speakout forum
Freedom Mobile does not work with some of my phones - be sure to check. Their annual plan is not terrible (especially when it was on sale for $99/year including data). Still limited - the data may be on Freedom Network only, which has a spotty coverage.
Other prepaid providers are generally at least $15/month with no data, or rather a little data with credit card autopayments. Is it possible to keep privacy by using prepaid credit cards maybe?
