A guy told me you can go get a phone that you buy pre paid minutes for and you can call and receive calls. DOes anyone know about these phones and do you need ID to purchase them? This could help calling off shore.

What's wrong with a normal calling plan from a major carrier?

I highly recommend VERIZON for 45 a month.

That wont work since electrci bill is in wife's name. That won't work since she would end up in jail and I would be stuck taking care of 3 kids 24/7. I would rather be in jail...lol

I want a phone that cant be traced back to me. A local bookie said he has 2 pre paid phones that he got and they did't ask for any type of ID. I would like to find a phone like that.

If your betting less than 2,000 a game and less than 2,000,000 in wagers overall for the year, I would say you have ZERO to worry about.

I use a tracfone and did not have to send anything to them when I bought the phone online. You pay for the phone and minutes up front.

Thanks patswin, I think that is what he has. I am going to check that out. Do you like it?

yeah works great, i don't use it very much, just like to have it with me in case of emergency. Got a new one last year with a camera phone, 1000 minutes and 14 months of service for $129.

You can walk right in most cell phone places and buy a phone and pre pay for minutes and not show Id. You have to give them a name and all, but you can make it up.

You can go to a store like traget, buy a phone with cash and activate it with no personal info right away.

All these phone companies must have "paid off" their elected representatives. I love freedom as well as anyone. But when paying for caller id and the old "unavailable" comes up; it gets me. Yes the big phone companies will "sell you" some other package to block up to 16 calls or whatever the latest money making scheme happens to be; but all phone companies are the politicians best friend!

I always use Barney Rubble when giving my name in those situations
