today we're going to be breaking down a
whole bunch of burner phones
but before we go full jason bourne and
ghost protocol mode on you
and break down a bunch of these classic
flip phone burner phones there is
something you need to understand now in
a second
we head over to the electronics desk and
we're gonna break all this down and show
you what phones to use
what phones not to use but there's
something you want to understand before
we get into that and the thing you want
to understand is
it really doesn't matter which phone you
use if there's a paper trail now a lot
of people say why buy them in cash and
that's correct you you definitely want
to buy these phones in cash but
cash is not enough anymore in the world
of facial recognition so what can you do
well
the first thing you can do is age the
phone so let's say i buy one of these
comes in a box
on the box i write april the 14th
or july 21st or whenever i buy it i
write it on the box you know let's say i
bought this one
june 14th of 2018 right
then it's age now what happens is facial
recognition a lot of things get stored
now there's a misconception that
everything is stored forever that's not
true it's very expensive to store
video footage in fact most
establishments only store
video footage for one to three months i
live
part-time in vegas and i will tell you
that being in vegas
a lot of the gaming establishments will
keep their footage for one
calendar year so if you age more than
one calendar year you're going to be far
outside especially if you bought it at a
smaller
establishment but is one thing to keep
in mind regardless if you buy like this
iphone 12 pro or if you buy this
zte flip phone and every phone in the
middle that we're gonna go over
aging it your phone and your sim is the
first thing
you really need to worry about even if
you buying cash
all right let's head over there we're
going to be talking about burner phones
and what phone you could use for this
now for a long time
burnaphones have been a fascination of
people who've watched
jason bourne movies the art of deception
and really just anything you've seen on
tv that involves
crime or involves a secretive life
burner phones have always caught
people's imagination
you got people like jason statham in the
movie mechanic
opens up a box you got burner phones you
got passports
you got cash you got a gun you put it in
a bag and you hit the road well
we're going to talk about the burner
phone part today
now the first thing i want to talk about
is what's the right phone so most of you
guys are going to have an iphone or a
phone
similar a smartphone as you would have
it
and most people nowadays have some sort
of smartphone
whether it's an iphone android etc you
do not want to use that because they are
highly tracked the technology in the
modern phones
is extremely good and it is not the
right phone but a question i've gotten
in the past is should i use
an app now there are a couple of apps
that i personally use
like sudo but frankly
i'm a technology type of guy when it
comes to hardware
so i prefer a completely separate device
so i'm not going to focus too much on
apps
in this video we're going to focus more
on the actual
hardware so with the traditional
smartphone out what does that leave us
with well you've probably seen a host of
these
samsung these old phones these trac
phones
that company that is you can you can
typically find in a big box store
also you've got different uh different
pre-paid phones now
you've got the classic flip phone this
specific phone by zte literally under
twenty dollars you buy it in cash i
bought this one a couple of years ago
with cash now most
big box outfits will only keep data of
security footage for so long
so whether it's 30 days seven days a
calendar year
it is only so long they don't keep this
stuff forever
now i'm not saying going out and doing
something illegal or deceptive but i am
saying
that buying these in cash which is a
practice that i do
utilize i have several of these they are
the flip phones they are the least
technologically advanced but for texting
and phone calls they are perfect
very inexpensive you can buy them in
cash don't sign up for their plan online
like they would like you to do you can
actually also buy the minutes in cash
at a convenience store or again a big
box retail outlet
that connects with this you get a phone
number that's not connected to you you
can use the dummy name in fact you can
use everything dummy
you call in you activate your phone and
you are good to go you have an
untraceable phone however you need to
understand
how these things work so you wouldn't
want to use a smartphone would you want
to use something like this blackberry
this is
actually still one of my favorite phones
even though i have two iphones
i actually also have a blackberry this
blackberry is amazing it is one of my
favorites and it is in
my go bag now the one thing that i will
tell you about this
much easier to track something like a
blackberry even
easier to track one of these samsungs
because of the gps so
there are two standard types of tracking
you've got triangulation which is really
popular in the 90s that's pretty much
what they had
and then they decided they needed to put
a gps tracking chip now most modern
phones
even some of the modern flip phones
modern they still actually are produced
and sold
do have gps tracking enabled now i'll do
a separate video on how to remove
gps tracking chips from these type of
phones
it is possible where it is not possible
from these or if it is possible it's not
something the average person wants to do
and even in something like this
blackberry not the best option however
you can make something like this
blackberry
semi-anonymous so this zero anonymity
quite literally the iphone or a similar
android
zero anonymity the blackberry medium to
intermediate anonymity and
security is very good on blackberries
which is why i still use it for a
business phone
for a lot of tasks and this flip phone
is going to be your best bet because it
can be not connected to you at all
you can grab a flip phone you can make
some calls and then you literally as
you've seen in the movies can discard it
in the trash
uh and nobody the wiser usually people
take the battery out
sim out break it in half throw it out it
can't be traced it can't be tracked it's
pretty much invisible
and ends up somewhere in a landfill
so the burner phone is a phenomenal
option now i typically use it in one of
these
uh one of these rfid bags so i'll
usually have
chargers and things in here and i can
slide whatever phone is
the reason i'll do that is it's a lot
now typically when you transport these
you do want to always keep them
off also with these older ones like
these what i will do of course is i will
take
the um i will take the battery out now
there's i live here in vegas and there
are quite a few
different conventions that are about
hacking that are about
you know art of deception that are about
magic and magicians and
in cardistry and more deceptive
practices here in sin city
so whenever i go to those i'll usually
bring a phone like this with the battery
out
i can pop it and make calls i can also
dispose of it you do not want to go to
defcon or any of these other
conventions with something like this
because it can be hacked to pieces
or or any other smartphone so there's
different reasons you'd want this
doesn't mean you're a criminal doesn't
mean you want to go out
and and do illegal activities i highly
recommend you
do not do any illegal activities but for
anonymity maybe for business purposes
also if you think someone is trying to
stalk you trying to track you
these are great options and what it is
is they buy
space on other towers so they buy space
from other companies so verizon or
t-mobile or a host of different
companies
and that's why you see a lot of these
little prepaid
sell providers pop up and if you buy it
in cash
and you buy the minutes in cash and you
activate it on a fake name and a fake
email which is very easy to do
it literally is untraceable it's it's
not a hollywood prop it actually is
untraceable but you need to understand
that
when you start using the phone your
location starts to be able to be traced
so that's why you see people use it
and lose it so you need to keep that in
mind if you are going to use a burner
phone
and the last thing i want to touch on is
phone selection
so some people have asked well if if
that's the case couldn't i use
a a intermediate smartphone these
samsung phones that are probably about
six seven years old couldn't i use
something like that
and the answer is yes you could you
absolutely could because again the goal
is to use it and lose it
and you can find these for you know
maybe 30 40 bucks they just are
a little bit more expensive so if you
find something like this for twenty
thirty forty dollars
and you find something like this for
five dollars eight dollars
fifteen dollars it's going to be a lot
easier to throw this away than it is
this
you could buy two or three of these with
this so that's usually the reason is the
flip phones there are
promo deals i've asked somebody hey i
can get flip phones for free well what
they want you to do is sign
up for their prepaid plan and so again
if you do that
you're giving your actual information so
even though the phone is
free for pretend you become the product
and your information becomes linked to
it
and then you're a guy with a flip phone
for a regular phone because you just
attached your real identity so you
defeated the purpose
and so now you're just gonna be walking
around the flip phone all the time so i
would not recommend that i would
recommend doing it anonymous
cough up the 5 to 15 maximum 20
to purchase one of these i would
purchase one just tuck it away you can
get one of these
uh you can get one of these shielding
cases you know a lot of people use these
type of things for emp
this one obviously will not block an emp
you can get the foil wraps there's a lot
of different ones also i've got this
travel one that blocks rf id as well
and it allows me to put chargers phones
and cards
in here and so whenever i travel i could
have more of a european
style wallet a man purse whatever you
want to call it
and i can have that as well so that
gives you an option for
burner phones and it kind of gives you a
direction of where we're going for this
so that's what you want to look at if
you are getting a burner phone
