I have a question.

I need a burner phone in order to sell 1-2 items a year on Craigslist. I usually sell a car or a big piece of furniture once a year once my wife and I get tired of it.

I know there are phone apps that can do this but I could also buy a prepaid phone or a SIM card to put in an old phone with a new number as well.

I really only use it for about a week or so after I post the ad and then I would not need it for another 6-12 months.

I only need text and talk capabilities. Do not need data of any kind.

It would just keep all the random calls and texts from coming to my main phone which I use for work.

What is the most cost effective way to do this where I can just activate and deactivate once the item is sold?

That’s way too much hassle.

I use google voice from the App Store. Gives you a number and you can call/text.

Once your finished, delete the app or put it in a folder for the next time you use it.

Why not just purchase one of those straight talk prepaid phones from the store? No contract, no worries.



I’ll add this - if you’re going to be using it for illegal shite (which I feel is highly likely) then make sure to buy it with cash, preferably from a store that you don’t frequent. At least that’s how I’d do it... if I did... which I don’t.

Correct. I just downloaded the app and it works great. And it's free.

I have nothing to sell now but it gave me a local number that I can use when the time arrives to sell "the drugs", I mean the next car.

Just watch the Wire Stringer Bell and Avon can teach you how to do this.

Nice. But nope.

I think it's funny how people assume it is for shady activity. It's really because I use my phone for work and ABSOLUTELY cannot ever have my phone turned off even when I sleep.

I am a solo practice physician and have to be available for patient emergencies.

When I sell a car on Craigslist, I invariably get tons of texts at 11pm or later with stupid questions like "car still for sale" and "what's the lowest you will take?"

With google voice - I did not link it to my phone. It just converts the voice mail to an email and sends it's to me.

I will find it when I wake up and I am still well rested.

The kind that can prescribe certain controlled substances?

I'd look into a burner phone too, Mr. Heizenburg
