> As soon as you power on your burner phone, it will connect to cell phone towers, and the phone company will know your location. So, don’t activate your phone, or keep it powered on at all, at your home or office — instead, go to a public place, like a coffee shop, before activating your new phone. Keep it powered off while you’re not using it. Actually, don't go to a coffee-shop, either. They might have security cameras that can record you, that police can use to find out who you are. Go into the park or forest, or any place without security cameras when using your burner phone.
