In the UK you can get pay-as-you-go internet dongles. I'm not sure if you can buy them for cash in a shop, without ID.

- gouranga 14y agoYou can. Currys allow you to buy in cash.
- gouranga 14y agoReplying to my own post here (the shame!) but it's relevant and hopefully slightly interesting: You can purchase SIM cards from most supermarkets in the UK for around the £1-5 mark and a basic Nokia handset for £10-15. You can top these up using cash at any supermarket checkout with "topup vouchers". If you top up £15 that gives you 100% unlimited O2->O2 calls and texts for a month. I reckon with a one time pad system such as the one described at [1], it is the most reliable, anonymous, secure point to point country-wide messaging system that you can create and it's not expensive or complicated. I might write the whole thing up as an experiment and hopefully I won't get chucked in jail for doing so!

- petitmiam 14y agoand if the SIM has international roaming, it can be used in countries like Australia (where prepaid SIMs must be registered).
- rmc 14y agoYes, but then they can trace it to where you exactly are. Makes it easy for yourself to get raided.

- rmc 14y agoThat's good for sending. But you cannot host a server like that.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoOf course not, but you could use it for signing up etc.
- pavel_lishin 14y agoThat's true, but anonymousperson90 has specified that he was willing to use the phone in an "geographically ambiguous location", so he/she would probably willing to do so with an internet dongle as well.
