    Where exactly does one get an anonymous burner phone? Just want to make sure I don’t accidentally get one before the ban.

      Don’t get one from the grocery store. They are totally anonymous, so it’s something you definitely should avoid at all costs.

    Instead of making corps police their own networks and verify caller origin, we’re doing this.

    It’s actually for all phones. Right now you can go into a store and buy a phone and get service without providing an ID. All phone lines would require government issued ID.

    Your rights will be dissolved and you will get nothing in return. The scam calls must never cease.
