buying one simply because I wanna be the guy that breaks his phone in half and tosses it in a trashcan after hanging up. even if I'm just ordering pizza
I never understood the breaking in half thing. All you're doing is disconnecting the screen, the data is still on the main board. I would say crushing the board with a rock would do a better job.
Alex Flockhart in reality, you’d remove the sim, break that in half, and *then* break the things in half and throw them out of the window of a moving car.
Alex Flockhart the antenna that connects to towers is in the top of the phone.
@@JasperJanssen Great minds...
Do it in a public place
I own a Note 7, so I already have a burner phone
heh.
How do / can you recharge it ? or it has unlimited call kinda thing??? definetly not second one
You get a new card when you run out.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLL

Criminality potential aside, these two are my goddamn heroes. Science + thoughtful planning + potential exploration of what is possible = GLORY!! I love you two, please keep making more. I adore this channel.
Thanks Morgan. Tell a friend?
Lol. If the NSA says it's hard to track burner phones they are probably not hard to track.
Battlefield on Ps4 some think that the CIA started the drug war to make mony
(The CIA has actually admitted to parts of that [in a way]. They basically said it was a rogue agent who was trading cash and weapons to buy drugs from Contra rebels during Iran-Contra...but there is no fucking way in hell they didn't have a clue about a mid-level operative passing weapons and cash out of the country without them noticing. Obviously they denied everything, but as noted above, you don't throw your own foot under the bus to blame the driver...)
@@DxBlack They have a black ops slush fund, funded by 40 years drug running.
I work in operations for one of the carriers. If a LEO has a warrant we can locate you, track you in real time, and go back over a given time period and see where you've been. Also, if the warrant request it, we can provide a transcript of your calls, text, and web sites you've been on. If you use att or Verizon, you don't have privacy. Here is a little trick. Get two cell phones on different carriers. Take one phone and put in a location where it can stay on the charger. Forward that cell to a land line, and forward the land line to the second cell phone. Give the number to the first cell out for someone to call you on. Now if a Leo gets your number and a warrant, for someone like me to do a gps trace, gps track, or gps locate, it will only show where that first cell is at.
@@2326TX listen... all that goat porn... that wasn't me.
This channel has taught me how to be a professional criminal in months, by far the best criminal tutorial on TH-cam 👍
Aaron Hanson it makes you sound like an even better criminal saying it in front of everyone on youtube. Nobody will find you gg m8
MegaRoflFilms well he hasn't confessed to a specific crime soooo
Ive only robbed a bank but nobody will no cause i am totally the smartest criminal in the world 😂😂 gg👌🏽
your raccoon profile image takes on a whole new level
@@cammanm8 *whoosh*
I use a burner phone to ring my ex landlord at night and call him rude names.
Hahaha
Thought I was the only one 😂
Maybe your should have just paid your rent.
Pretty pathetic
Logan Brezenoff you don’t know the struggle bro
There is no better way of pretending to be a secret agent then making a call and immediately smashing the phone.
Yes there is. By rigging your phone to give out a puff of blue smoke and fall apart.
Spies never used Nokia 3310.
Or a drug dealer
@Austin Downing delusional paranoïa is more common than being a spy.
@@telemachin but not mutually exclusive at all
We have a burner phone nicely labeled as collection agency. Every time it rings, we know who's calling. It goes directly to voice mail. Our real number is for friends and family.
Try paying ur bills
I personally use burner phones because I can't keep a normal phone since I break phones pretty easily. The two I've had were smartphones in the 30$ budget range. They work perfect for me and have proven to take a good dozen falls before the screen cracks.
I always forget that Brian originally did scam school, but when i do remember, I remember that hilarious hair
ikr
it was beautiful
He probably ruined more pillows than R Kelly
Hell yeah
Oops this is 4 years old
There's another one that you may have touched on in a different episode, called Signal. It scrambles texts and calls if the device you're trying to communicate with doesn't have Signal as well.
wasn't Signal caught giving logs to the US government?
Careful
I knew about a businessman who, if things weren't going his way, would end a call by smashing his phone onto the ground, thus creating a great drama for those around him.
Now I understand it would have been a 'burner phone'!
If you want to be really dramatic, break the burner in half and throw the halves in separate trash cans ;-)
I like your style.
I'm sold, just on being able to do that alone (not alone, like by myself, I'd do it every 2-3months in socal malls).
I wouldn't be surprised if you actually ended up getting a date that way.
@Jionunez7 True Lies subplot...
The Modern Rogue Gus Fring?
Is the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 a burner phone? Or just a burning phone.
I came here for this comment specifically.
Nice
Red_E one call and it's gone.
Oh my god you are amazing
Ha!
As a software developer, this is hilarious that people think these phones aren’t traceable. Just on a basic level a simple look up of a phone that pinged near the same location would connect your smart phone to a trap phone. Also, if the receiver has a smart phone it would list all details of the originating caller that could then be traced back to video of the original purchase of the burner phone. I always laugh when drug dealers post ig photos with a burner phone. Not even realizing that the photo itself contains meta data that links directly to their exact location at the time of the photo.
BuzzKillington what an appropriate name lmao
Not to mention the gps chip required for E911 from 2002+
It'd be hard to trace if you were on the run but I few along with multiple sim cards then only use one to order pizza/whatever else your doing then burn it after a few days and start headed to the next city
@@StrokeMahEgo I wonder if there's a way to remove it.
As always burner phones are part of your OpSec, if you use your smartphone alongside your burners and someone has been compromised, yeah they'll be able to track you. But used correctly (e.g. turned on only when needed and discarded often), it's very hard to track.
The flip-phone market is still alive and well!
I use mine as an alarm clock
Moto RZR
I have a Motorola startac with service
Yup. I got me a couple of them.
good use of burner phones is free trials to shit 🙃
Mew [Jacob/PwnAzn] well then technically they aren't free
Burner phones always remind me of Breaking Bad, or as I like to call it: Breaking Phones.
i remember the Aztek's windshield breaking more
I remember hearts being broken
JD McJayderson “Hello Kitty? Are you serious?”
They be snapping them shits left and right!!! 😂
El camino! One call one phone!
Is it rewarding to reply to the same note 7 joke four times? Either way I admire your devotion :)
dude, what's rewarding is that people are finally discovering these videos. Best. Week. Ever!
The Modern Rogue Is there anything I can do to help promote them? I feel like it would be a public service by now :D
#1: watch each video to completion (the YT algorithm only cares about how *long* you watch, not how many views you make)
#2: tell everyone :-)
The Modern Rogue OK! I'll tell everyone, and then I'll see you in a few months when I'm done watching :D
Whatevery you're doing is working now, you guys take up half my feed and i hadn't heard anything about you until yesterday
You two are great. Seriously, this has quickly become my favourite channel. You charming bastards remind me of high school when I discovered the anarchist cook book transcript, this channel and it share the similar callus and lighthearted way of presenting information.
Now I'm getting one...totally not dealing Pokémon cards or anything...
This is coming from a burner got any magicarps
Yeah man...I got what you want...I'll trade you a magicarp for a weedle
I'm always amazed when I hear that the card game is still going. I don't think I ever even learned how to play.
That was a super massive thing way back in elementary school. Kids came in with, I shit you not, duffel bags and just started trading. They were competitive. I got the ones I thought looked nice. I... Wasn't very good at yu gi oh. Couldn't even begin with Pokemon. Granted I became valuable, being the only one who might be willing to toss a rare card for a shite one if it looks good.
And then, of all things, I picked up on the rules of Magic, of which I'll stand by on the statement of it being infinitely easier to understand than yugioh.
@@kaarpiv375 To be honest, compared to the most recent Yu-Gi-Oh! rules changes and stuff, Magic is much easier to learn and start playing.
Wish my life was interesting to need to use one
In Australia, after buying any new pre-paid phone with free SIM, or installing any new SIM into any existing phone, you have to "activate" the SIM with its telco with all validated ID checks before you can make even 1 phone call. They ask the IMEI number too. The only number you can initially call is the Telco activation number.
It amuses me that the hardest type of phone to track are Trac phones...
drug dealers:
"Write that down! Write that down!"
I keep hearing "burger phone" and that's the kind I want.
Congrats it's real! My biggest regret is not buying it instead i bought the pepsi one images.app.goo.gl/PqXTMrAXkdafPTpdA
Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring, ba-burger phone!
@@Rachara 😊
I am so excited, its so much easier to watch and find now!
I just tripped over this channel. Not long ago I was shopping for cell phones at Walmart and found the cheapest may have been a flip phone with Tracfone for about $29 and change. I didn't get a chance to look closer as I couldn't get a sales person's attention as it was before 8AM. Now I was thinking of getting several ones so as not to let out the number of my smart phone.
I use a burner just because it's prepaid. I have a 'smart phone' that isn't activated as a phone - just for 'data' when I'm logged into wifi. I never need to worry about an app running up data charges - because I have no data account. I can still use offline maps for navigation, track my cycling and hiking with a gps fitness tracing app, message people when I'm near a wifi hotspot - plenty to be found. And my phone is just a phone - best of both worlds.
Thanks guys! This is a great idea for when someone wants to start a TH-cam channel and have a bit of a private life, but still wants to interact with their viewers! I'll have to spread the word! Y'all are awesome
Great work, Brian, on getting TMR on it's own channel. That's the coolest!
I've had one for 4 years, just for when I have to enter a number on a website. I ordered something online from a reputable store, and within a week I was getting sales calls on my regular phone. I went and bought a phone with 100 free minutes, charged it and turned it off and tossed it into my desk drawer, each month I call 411 or something to keep it active. I buy a ten-dollar card twice a year. Then I changed my cell phone number and that was that. With so many data breaches you never know who has your phone number.
The modern uses of burners: selling drugs and cheating. Nice to see not shady suggestions (selling legal things on Craigslist) included.
Yeah, man-- having the burner app makes it so I really don't mind calling up random fans, too.!
Or if you wreck your semi truck and the DOT wants to see your “real” phone to check for online/phone activity while On-Duty
This channel gives me a paradigm shift each episode- it brings the world around me into a new light and I love every minuet of it!!!! Now excuse me while I buy a million burners......
I had a burner phone, need to get me a new one though. I threw the old one away because the opportunity was to good to not do it. I was walking on a crowded street talking on the burner, and the conversation ended right when I stood on a bridge going over a river. Broke the phone at the hinge (flipphone) just for dramatic effect and tossed it off the bridge casually.
The Note 7 is the most expensive burner phone you can buy
hah!
HAH
*HAH*
Paul Garcia burning*
Paul Garcia hahaha funny
Don't use your debit card when purchasing the phone and minutes. To avoid connections one to the other. NSA can track everything anyway, anywhere👽.
Cool video,thanks guys
Entered to know what a burner phone is.
Came out with a 12 year sentence in prison
Gordon Payne and mafia work
Gordon Payne ever heard of drug dealing? Even "serious" weed dealers have burners
DeltaInsanity also school students have burner phones
In my case it's for players. But you haven't got the concept for burner phone right if you get caught for using a burner phone.
Sandra Jones well that was a joke, i know getting caught using it won't cause you anything. Everyone who has it use it in public, especially public transport drivers and workers (who work in construction)
For $8 each I would do the throw the phone away gag at least once every week :)
Yeah, random strangers would think you're a millionaire if you can afford to break a cheap phone you just bought at Rite Aid or CVS. Life doesn't get better than that.
how many note 7 jokes am I going to see?
I think I've seen 3 so far....
The Modern Rogue haha more to come I'm sure
About 7
More than 1 but less than 1x10^23
A phone for each business, good idea. Sounds like a scene from Better Call Saul as he digs through a pile of phone to find the one that is ringing.
you guys give great advice
Use 3, forward to the middle, then to the 3rd, toss the middle.
In easter europe, sim cards cost like 2 euros, and you can buy them at every store.
I love your guys videos
great channel and content. seems like this should be a show on television. very similar to mythbusters type of show
burner phones get to be dangerous especially if you don't keep them labeled I knew a guy once who had 3 different girlfriends 3 different numbers yeah he forgot which phone went to which girl in certain called the wrong girl the wrong name
Why would he not save their names in contacts?
@@natc1008 haha yeah, the guy made up the story for likes lol what is the world coming too
Any guy who thinks it's a great idea to juggle women deserves all the grief that comes his way.
I know a woman who handled this by simply dating men with the same first name
That's why you call them all "babe"
I actually have a burner phone!! that is amazing! I love how you do this
I used to have exactly the same model of phone Jason shows off in this video, until I accidentally washed it in my laundry in 2014. Replacement was nice. Never been happier to wash my phone.
Honestly, I want that velvet-lined box now. Just pull it out, call or answer, watch the shock on someone's face, and never explain it
Dont put any phone numbers in your contacts. It is automatically uploaded when it hits cell tower since burners are known for crime
Well time to scroll though the comments and see the note 7 jokes
That phone toss at the end was perfect.
i really had a question on exactly which burner phones are the best to get and if you can be tracked on a prepaid sim card
could you do a follow up vid
Why just in the glovebox? Why not in every pocket, every crevice, why can't I jus have a car made out of only burner phones?
A way for the flip phone to survive!
"Welcome to the best 1999 has to offer." A true description of the iPhone in 2005. Pre-paid is more and more require ID. In foreign countries, they even demand a passport for a sim card.
The newer networks don't, in Europe there is Lebara and Lyca, I think even Tescos you just go and buy a SIM card.
I'm glad you mentioned SIM anyway, it's not necessarily the phone, it's the SIM.
My workplace has a "Set phone", and its definitely one you could toss and not care about it too much, they've had it since 2010-11ish and only now did they ask me to set up the voicemail on it so that we could figure out who called.
Thanks, scam school, for helping me take my uh startup venture to the next level
If you are not currently using a burner to make calls, remove the battery. This way it can't be tracked passively and tied to the location of your main phone.
The Garden of Eatin not really, that’s more a compactness/ manufacturing type of thing
@@bergermaestro just like the desighn thingy with GPS chips, which don't work above a certain height and/or speed (cause they think they're a ballistic rocket)
even with battery out they can track you.they can tell if you in a building going up an elevator,on the highway.they say if you wrap your cell in enough aluminum it can be blocked,they even have a case to block your cell from signal towers.the guy who worked for Google says you need to block your camera and disconnect your mic to cell.my burner has no camera or app capabilities.once you use apps it's over they got you.dont use home wifi either,just too many ways they track us and we don't even have a clue.
@@dirtydoughboy2854 also the EMEI is the most common method of tracking, even if you swap the SIM card it's the same phone
@cjhyde78 a 2oz tobacco can was big enough for my last burner phone (Samsung galaxy ace) GPS tracking didn't find it when I lost it either, it lasted a week on flight mode with daily reminders vibrating through the can
I don't know in America, but in most of Europe, after the terrorist attacks in Spain and UK, they passed a SIM Card Registration policy, so now you need to provide a valid ID to purchase a prepaid SIM card or prepaid phone. And for those who already had one, they were given a number of weeks to register the owner, if they failed to do so, the SIM cards were deactivated.
In many places you're not allowed to buy a phone from a store using cash. They use the forced activation as the lever to gain compliance.
the only reason i clicked is to see that slowmo fire but unlucky me :(
Next Episode:
Getting rid of "stuff" using Hydrochloric acid
I remember someone who ain’t me had dealers that had like 10 of these and would have a new number every month or so... it was hard to keep up from him, he had like 15 different contacts saved for the same person
I wish those were feasible here in South Africa, but our government requires that we use our ID to register and activate any SIM cards
My god it's Jason bourne
Only if the phone is already charged and activated when you pull it out of the sealed factory packaging.
Next: how to initiate phase 4 of Hydra's world domination plan.
Kalai Arasan Mark Zuckerberg already initiated phase 6
Sir I have a question plz help me out I wanna know how are prepaid phones much private if when activating a prepaid phone it does ask for a address and name and last name and also card info to buy a plan I hope you can help me out with my question with all the respect
This episode feels very Scam School-y and I love it, it seems like a transition episode
Those phones can be useful for the Channel 4 series Hunted.
Liam Davis I love that show
Oreo Totally agreeable.
The term "burner phone" came out of the intelligence community -> then the military -> then the streets...
”Intelligente community” lmfao
The thumbnail looked like a dope movie
I never knew the specifics about the burner phone....
I always use pre-paid sim cards and load them up in a need to know base, which then makes them kind of traceable .........
But getting sim cards on ebay is very easy and then loading them up with cash, should do the trick!
i have a note 7... does that count??
Hah!
Damnit, I searched through the whole comment section and I did not see a single note 7 joke. Wrote a note 7 joke, updated the page and your comment appears.
lol
HAH
to the top!
2019 trac phone is no longer a good burner phone. They come pre-loaded with crap to track you now.
Hence the name.
In some if not all European countries u cannot buy and use prepaid sim without registering it on your name simply because of that, remote bomb detonation and false bomb alarms
The last two examples sold me! Lmao 😂
In Australia I think we still have to show ID to buy a burner phone...
eBay 🥰
Buy it online with fake info, pay someone to go into the store and buy one for you, use a fake id to buy one... Lots of ways around the law if you truly want one.
So TH-cam thinks I'm either a dealer or heroin user. I just got a big heart man
I didn't know I had a burner phone before I watched this. thanks modern rogue
Can't do that in my country, in order to obtain a working Sim we have to register it with our ID document.
I wanna be a guy that breaks the flip phone in half and tosses it away
For $8 you can be that guy.
When I was in Afghanistan higher level hajjis would use 2-3 burners converse via text so if one of the phones was compromised you'd only have 1/3rd of the conversation.
Damn. They are definitely smarter than I thought over there.
@Mister Branscum Our COP sat at the intersection of two Rivers. I used to see them fishing and duck hunting all the time. We used to joke we were in the West Virginia of Afghanistan with how country it was.
This just inn if you activate burner phone.... Pay cash for card at Walmart. Use free WiFi to activate phone. Dont keep burner phone on where you lay head. Keep in mind they love to track burners and see what account phones are within 9 feet it's that easy.
Pay As You Go (PAYG) is very common in the UK, you just buy the SIM card drop £10 on to it and put it in to whatever hand set you want.
You can literally walk into any carphone warehouse and buy a phone with £10 credit on it for £10
3 minutes ago they had 80 thousand subs 90 now
Courtnay Bridges and now 100k
Asian Noodle yup
Courtnay Bridges and now 124k
150k Checking in.
160k!
A couple of phones (such as the Fairphone 2, which I'm currently using) are now available with dual SIM slots in the US and UK! Worth considering, as SIMs are even cheaper than burner handsets :D
TMiTM buy anonymously, use, discard straight away. Your life's on the line. This items a must.
The Sudo app for iPhones is nice for this also like the app that he had. With Sudo you can get up to 9 different numbers. It cost though.
"It's not off the grid" what would be the point of an off the grid phone?
Ok, your mate needs something the government doesn't approve of, ok fine but he can't get said something because he's a cripple or a crip, you choose?
Boom, so you get a burner, not for You, you're a stand up bloke that helps old ladies across the street and pays their taxes.
Ok bang, the pigs are onto your line for your shady business but you don't care because there's no way to trace your burner and you only turn it on when you need to collect something for your crippled crip friend.
Bada Bing, you like the anonymity, the fact you can say what you want without the fear your phone has been tapped so you keep the burner for other businesses, wheel and deals, kills and grills, hits and quits, etc.
You just use a new SIM card put that in your burner and you have become a new man.
this channel seems like it would have more subscribes.
We're only 3 months old, if that helps.
After retiring and sending back company phone use 2 cheap phone s ,I call one my burner just as my daily carry. If lost whatever can switch to another waiting in a secret location. It s secret because I never remember where I left it!
So do you get a prepaid locked phone or unlocked?
Meanwhile in Australia: please register your sim to your ID card.
Antonio Carniero haha exactly
It's weird how I'm also Australia and just got recommend this video. But i wonder of you provide fake details will they still register it?
When it comes to top ups it's all done by credit card. I don't think you can recharge from service stations anymore.
Don’t go to Australia.
I'm so pleased I did not move to Aussie.
This is how tyranny begins. For your own safety.
"A guy had 2 burner phones and they used the phones to triangulate his position" - Horseshit. Not the way cellular works at all. There would be no need to do this anyways, since the towers the phones are connected to know exactly where the phone is anyway since they "triangulate" automatically.
Yea but that was when triangles weren't triangulated and they had to triangulate the triangles in order to no longer... Triangulate triangles. FYI.
The difference is yes you can track any one phone with signal triangulation, but if you don't know what phone the bad guy has, then you don't know... Unless he has a known phone (Maybe a planted device?) with him and his new burner together. Even if he finds the plant, you now know which burner is his and can follow that instead.
Now I’m imagining a car passenger opening your glovebox and 47 different phones falling out
theoretically, if you were on the run from place to place you could dispose of them and then buy a new one and repeat the process right? then they never have a for sure location except for the last place you threw it away...
