Buying coins in Australia without a mobile? If not possible...

where to buy a cheap throwaway phone?

If anyone knows of somewhere i can buy coins with a cash deposit at a bank, no ID, mobile etc, that'd be my prefered option but if not, where do i buy a phone to use for the purchase of coins?

I've seen people talk about "burner" phones, i assume they are bought with cash,without ID at a supermarket or servo or similar?

Apologies if i'm not supposed to be asking such things here.

I'm not the last word on these things, but- what's the worst that could happen if law enforcement could find out that you bought bitcoins? They could look up the transaction on the blockchain. They could yell at you and infer that you used those bitcoins to huy drugs, weapons or an envelope of fucking glitter.

So the big risk is that you will say something stupid to the cops, not that they will figure out how you bought a perfectly legal digital currency.

You don't need ID / mobile to make a cash deposit in Australia.

Use localbitcoins to find a reputable BTC vendor, make a purchase, go to the bank with the bank account details he gives you and ask to make a deposit.

Finally got a chance to get back on here.

Thanks a lot guys! You've all been very helpful.

it's unlikely that anyone will read this but i'll post an update anyway.

it turns out i was reading it wrong and it's actually LBC that is asking me for SMS verification, not the vendors. maybe it's something they've only recently brought in?

i tried the online SMS inbox that was posted in this topic but someone had already used their Aus # for LBC. i tried another online inbox and waited for over an hour but the message never showed up.

not sure what i'll do next. i could try more online inboxes i guess... i think i'd rather just get a throwaway phone though.
