If you must insist to pay your Prepaid Phone via online, use your Prepaid Credit Card....

Yes I always have..and I always will.

Since we've had a deep discussion about this before.

1 - Yes, use cash to buy the thing and use cash for the reloads. (NEVER where you normally trade!)
2 - Go to a library or "community PC" to register the phone to an alias person and address. (Mine was registered to an alias using the address of a St. Louis hotel. Nothing sent to your place)
3 - If possible get an out-of-town area code.
4 - If found by "someone" your explaination is that YOU found it and cannot locate the owner. You were trying to find a place that takes in old phones for recycling!
5 - Shut the thing off if you don't expect to use it and make sure it isn't set up to "auto-answer", especially on speaker phone. Better yet take the battery out so that no one can use it if it's found. Someone looking through the address book might decide to call one of the persons listed or do a "call back" to the last recieved.

Now smash the phone beyond repair and get another one.

I used to have a prepaid cell phone. It was paid for by a friend of mine and when I'd add minutes, they had me repeat the name they had on file- his. It was great because it wasn't under my name, but they had all my friend's info and repeated it every call.

pre-paid cells are so cheap, compared to the cost of one appointment, I buy a new one every year and disgard the old one.  I also agree, buy one while traveling out of your home area code.

The only issue with these is that you may need to let any favorites tha you see know the new number so they recognize and answer it.  

Removing the battery is also a very good idea - in fact it saved me once since most have unique batteries, no one else can turn it on.
