I’ve gotten prepaid sims for things but obviously that’s not really a feasible method for your main life phone.

      That would require law enforcement to obtain the recording and have a reasom to do so

        I mean, yeah? If I’m buying anonymous phone credits, the police probably has a reason to go looking for me.

          Act itself is not illegal… Police wouldn’t care un less you are already on Santa’s list… But it would not be police either but rather internal spooks who track that list.

              Yeah but you already need to be on the list for them to check at all

              And even then I doubt they would. They got limited resources. with that being I have no idea about your threat model.

              If it involves over zealous glowies, this comment section is prolly a bit too rookie to properly comment. Also this things are very geo specific as each jurisdiction will have their own KYC regs and compliance practices.

      They have your identity the moment you put the sim in the phone. The phone have unique identifiers that are recorded when sold.

        Buy the phone used and/or with cash. And never put any SIM card in it that can be linked back to you or someone you know.

          All the apps on your phone have access to the phone identifier. As well as other information, like your Google account. It’s pretty trivial to tie a phone to you.
