How to buy and use a burner phone

Never user your burner at home, work or near your existing phone.

If your threat model is a state-level agency, OPSEC (operations security) is hard. Not “pinpointed to 100’” hard ; your OPSEC against a state-TLA is much stronger: "don’t even put the battery in the phone until your are several towns away from any place you normally leave a data trail.

I don’t know as much as most posting here, and would be grateful if you would please clarify… simply pulling the battery out of a dumb phone (for the sake of argument, a truly dumb phone with no GPS) renders it invisible to the cell tower network, yes?
