When you buy the phone with cash, do they scan your driver's license like they do for pre-paid credit cards? Since anything can get hacked these days, I'd prefer not to leave any electronic trail.
Ok fellas. What are some of the cheapest options for a hobby phone? Just text and talk. What do you guys use for burners? I'm looking to pick one up.
From walmart or kmart. They have a lot of selection and a few different styles. I scored a smart phone for like $40. Now I just use a Burner number instead. Cause I keep breaking phones lol

You likely already have a smartphone. Just get a burner app, pay for whatever unlimited subscription you have and be done with it.
Most are using a VOIP relay that's basically untraceable. You can't beat the convinience of having one phone to lug around.
the address of a business, area code where I don't live, fake name, etc.
Add time every 90 days for $20 card bought with cash at Walgreens, Home Depot or some other generic store.
I did exactly the same thing, works fine and cheap.
But if you have an SO, figuring out a safe place to hide the hobby phone is always an issue. Many, many threads on these boards on this topic can be found.
