Well, the operator has to be able to link that temporary physical layer ID to some permanent billing ID, otherwise they will refuse your connection to their net

Well, the operator has to be able to link that temporary physical layer ID to some permanent billing ID, otherwise they will refuse your connection to their network.
- im3w1l 4y agoI can see two ways around it. If you have a free data/calls/texts, you could use a zero knowledge proof of having a free-data secret. If you have pay-as-you-go you could spend tokens each of which are unique and anonymous. Edit: I think the first approach may not work, as the secret could be duplicated..
- PeterisP 4y agoThat's something which requires cooperation from the operator, and they have zero interest in it at best, and more likely a strong negative interest on allowing anonymous devices on their phone network, in some countries even a legal prohibition to do so.
