AT&T is able to tell when you activate your prepaid phone what other phones are nearby. Drug dealers have been unmasked using this. They thought they did everything right but someone had a normal phone plan near their phone as it was activated and then the pre-paid phones were around those with regular plan phones. Unmasking the whole group.
The best way is buy the prepaid phone from a 7/11 type store. Wait 6 months, go to the mountains in an old non-trackable car, leave your normal cellphone behind. Activate the prepaid phone. Put the pre-paid phone in a chip bag. Hand off the phone to the person who is going to use it but they put their phone in a chip bag before using the pre-paid one. Always protect your normal phone so it doesn't unmask your "secure" phone.
- lettergram 4y agoThe level of effort to do that is insane lol Then the first time you talk, your voice unmasks you. I’d you have a phone near by or any microphone or camera you can theoretically be identified.
- kornhole 4y agoNever make voice calls with the SIM phone number. Only use the SIM for data when needed and away from your house. Always use VOIP, Signal, Jitsi, Jami..
- Spooky23 4y agoThat sounds like “the Wire”. The cops figured it out on the show, cops watch the show, and I’m sure that’s probably a well-worn path.
