Ahhhh. The answer is in your own post and goes back to my fear. If they get your information off the girl's phone along with your messages you are cooked. If you are using a burner phone that can't be traced they don't know who you are. All the more reason to use a burner phone or an app. It sounds like to me that the phone wasn't traced. They got the evidence they needed from the provider's phone. I would always be concerned about my phone number being saved in a provider's phone. Best not be your real number.

I knew a guy arrested a few years back in Greenville when a lady advertised massages, but was busted for soliciting. The guy was charged with a misdemeanor and lost his job, face in the media, then all that fun stuff that followed. He lives in Idaho now. Maybe it's just me, but why risk this over a minor charge?? Leo got his information from girls phone and her corroboration by offering her a lesser charge. This is why I go yo extra lengths to avoid problems like this.

Sounds like he had a shit lawyer.

That is true but don't they have to know what phone they are tracking? Seems like a lot of trouble to get someone for a misdemeanor offense. The biggest thing is your real number isn't stored on a provider's phone where they can get it and find out who you are that way. If LEO gets into a provider's phone and they can see the messages you have sent them they have evidence. That is the biggest thing to worry about. I don't know if they would go to the trouble of tracking your phone just for buying a blowjob.

I went to Walmart in a hat, mask and shades. Paid cash, bought re load cards with cash on ore paid plan. No name verification done either. Be aware, if the man wants to get you, stingray is able to link location even if you turn it off. So if you are doing recon don't bring your smart phone with you. Otherwise it's as anonymous as you can be.

Verizon coverage is horrible in some parts of SC where I live. I had Verizon for years until I moved to SC and had to switch to ATT. There are parts of Fort Mill where I couldn't even get one bar of signal. Sprint & ATT seem to be the best. Verizon has been trying to build a tower in Clover for years around that old mill on 321 and people have been fighting it and protesting it. They don't want a cell tower in their backyard. I wonder how many of those protesting have cell phones? That is the big reason that Spectrum mobile is a deal-breaker for me. Something like Straight Talk from Walmart has contracts with all the major carriers and will switch your tower to the one that has the best signal. Verizon was great when I was in Mecklenburg or Cabarrus counties. Not so good in York county of SC. That is something to consider. Where you need the service is important.

I thought I'd throw this out there. I've been using Visible as a carrier for several months, 40 a month for one line or 25 each for 4 lines. Unlimited without throttling on everything except 5 g at 200 g then drop you to 4 g LTE as far as I know even the hotspot is unlimited. Works great where ever Verizon is available, keeps you from using hotel or public wifi and I can use several devices off hotspot. Works so good I dumped Spectrum for internet at home. It does all the streaming services flawlessly, also the 4 lines are separate accounts so a group of 4 can sign up get separate bills $25 each.

You buy minutes for Next Plus but the texts are free. I haven't bought any minutes in years as I mostly use the text. It cost me just $1. 99 a year to keep my number which I have used for years. The sound they play with their ads does get damn annoying though. The ads seem to only play on my phone, not my tablet. I can deal with the ads but blasting sound when I am trying to be quiet is annoying. I can hush it by closing the app and reopening it.

I completely agree, and prefer to use a burner App over carrying the extra device. Beside, all these burner phones use location services like any other phone. They give out the location of the person carrying it even if they are turned off. And if LEO truly wants to locate someone, all they have to do is locate the signal of the phone. Burner App, on the other hand, I don't believe that it uses location services for anything. It is literally like having an old dumb phone, or analog cell phone without internet, simply for two functions. To make calls and text, and no need for accessing location services. Therefore, to track someone using an burner App, may be much harder and require more effort to find the user. I am thinking, the crime would have to be of much larger proportions than just locating a guy looking for a blowjob, for them to be requesting payment records from Apple or Google, and trying to find out who purchased the app. Anyway, just my two sense on this issue. Still, always be careful, no matter what you use.

I use Next Plus. I don't think they can trace you if you use one of these apps. If they can it won't be easy. They would have to trace it back to the provider of the number and if you are using a bullshit name there they would have to get your payment info from Apple or Google. Seems like a lot of trouble just to bust a guy trying to buy a blow job. I would guess the texting apps would be harder to trace than a burner phone. Those phones have numbers attached to a carrier and if you created an account to activate the phone LEO can probably trace it.

I use Burner App, yes it can be traced but all I'm doing is hiding my real number from a working girl. It still goes though my phone carrier just replaces number to the burner number. It's 5 bucks a month or 47 for the year. If I was doing real dirt I'd get a cheap phone and pay cash for phone and service. Burner app works great for text and pics, not so good with phone service which I rarely use, for the yearly service you can change numbers monthly. I imagine all the burner apps work the same. It does keep a separate log in the app that doesn't show up in the real phone log, has ring and notification options, sure if someone else can get into your phone this may be an issue for some.

Where is the best and cheapest place to get a burner smart phone. Is it best to get one say at Walmart and buy a monthly card or buy one and pay a monthly subscription? When out on the prowl I would like to be able to pull up all the sites for this hobby and directions to hobby grounds if you know what I mean?

Why not use texting app like TextFree or some other similar app, instead of burner phone? Okay, I get it, the download of the app can be always traced to the account of the person who downloaded it. However, just so that we don't give away our numbers to these ladies, shouldn't that be enough? Do you guys really think LEO would go as far as tracing the number of the texting app, and connecting it to the app it came from and who downloaded the app? Do you think they can trace and connect the IP of the phone from which the App is sending messages? Just little technical discussion here.

Also look at Family Dollar for TracFone. Cheap disposable phones. Untrackable. Purchase the phone and minute cards with cash. Don't do monthly, that could identify you. When you activate, you can specify the area or zip code which can assign a number in a different city. Like 30324 for an Atlanta number. Or 28601 for Hickory. Or anywhere except your actual location. Just helps throw everybody off. With TracFone take advantage of double minutes promotions and cards.

I would say Walmart or Best Buy. But don't subscribe. Buy top off cards and renew it that way to stay anonyomous.
