This is only an assumption but, I too filled out a profile for SA recently but have not gotten any messages yet. I joined an Asian dating site a while back and within a few days I had over 50 messages. Now, whether the site compensates the girls (since they get free memberships) or maybe they just have a few people in the office that use different names to reply in order to get guys to sign up. I do know that many of the girls on SA are real, per forum posts about them. So, if you do join up on SA you will no doubt meet someone real. Just maybe not all are. Again, this just my assumption of how the sites work. Play and stay safe.

All this talk about electronic tracking, VPNs, throw away phones, etc. Do you guys seriously think LEO are going to go through all the trouble of seizing your phone, sending it to a lab, and having them decrypt your data just for some misdemeanor soliciting charge?

The majority of the damage is done when the arrest is made and LEO doesn't need to electronically decrypt your phone to establish PC for that.

As long as you're not some sick pedophile, trafficking drugs, or trafficking women, I wouldn't worry about all this high tech CIA / FBI electronic spying crap.

I just use a fake email for my Talkatone app and make sure all of the notifications / alerts are off and silent. Then I throw the app into my games folder on my phone so it's hiding in plain sight.

Three simple rules:

Don't talk about money.

Don't talk about sex acts.

Don't talk to the police.

P.S. And don't let your significant other play games on your phone LOL.

I buy 60 minute "add to plan" cards for $20 cash whenever my number of texts gets low (get 180 more per card). I don't hardly ever use phone minutes and never use internet connection.

It is easy to use, easy to extend, and completely anonymous. What's not to like?

If the Tracphone ia a smart phone, you can add 1000 txt messages for $5. The $20 time card gives you 90 days of service plus minutes and some txt messages. Tracphone is a good solution.

Try doing it on the net with a VPN. Choose. I dunno Chile or Zimbabwe as a source. Here's two I've used:

https://nordvpn.com/

https://www.ipvanish.com/

Works on cellular devices. There is a monthly fee, but the most important thing here is the VPN does not log you, the two above are zero-logs. Now you can be just some user in another country or on the coast of British Columbia and do your internet things. The power of tunnels!

Sorry to hear that RW. Rest up, hope all goes well and you're up and running real soon.

But you're still allowing an app access to your phone and that can be shitty especially from god knows where it was developed.

You touched on part of the reason, I'm concerned about an app being on my primary phone and the app then having access to ALL the info on my phone, contacts, phone numbers, email addresses, etcetera. In turn, I'd be concerned about accidentally contacting my SO, a friend, or whatever via the app when I meant to use the regular phone info. With a burner phone, it's all separate, there is no possibility of my personal info leaking into my hobby info. That also eliminates the need to delete things I want to keep, photos, addresses and the like. As to where to keep the phone, it's well hidden, usually left in my office where no one has access to it. Even if found, it's password protected and couldn't even be turned on, let alone have access to the info stored in it. Just one guy's opinion, I can certainly understand why some people might prefer an app over a phone.

Even over an encrypted vpn connection, I wouldn't trust activating on my computer. Plus in the past I have preferred to replace the burners every few months. I pretty much stick to AMPs now, so I haven't been using a burner for a while, partly because of the activation question. And partly becuase I tired of unreliable escorts.

Ever since, I just use the burner phone to re-up minutes / text.

I suppose you could do it on a computer, over the internet using a TOR browser.

Times have changed and I'm looking for advice on getting a burner phone or I was told there were apps available for my existing phone. Can anyone share their opinions or experience with me to help me decide and or recommend an inexpensive burner & plan or the best app to use? Thanks in advance.
