So I'm at the point in reselling where I believe I need a burner phone. Now I saw someone recommend getting an android and using Signal in an older post on here I believe. What would you guys recommend?
I like Signal because you can set messages to auto delete after just a few seconds and if LE subpoena's Whisper Systems they have nothing of value to give them as they don't store users messages. So if a customer gets caught they can't just snitch on me and hand over the text messages, they would have to set me up and hopefully by that point I should know that they've been busted, if not it at least gives me a chance to realize that something is fishy. The downside to this is that I've read that all smartphones have GPS location avaliable to the phone company/LE at all times. With a traditional burner phone they can only triangulate your position. However you aren't supposed to be using your burner at your home or places you frequent anyways so would GPS really make a difference?
Smart phones can still be used as a burner, it just takes a bit more work. Here is a detailed guide for setting up an anonymous Signal burner: https://yawnbox.com/index.php/2015/03/14/create-an-anonymous-textsecure-and-redphone-phone-number/
