ORIGINAL: submgreenbay Tracphone only really requires a zipcode, so that it knows which towers to activate off of. Part of the activation is asking who you are, via a pre-recorded interactive process, mostly for promotional/marketing purposes. As mentioned, you can just say Joe Smith, or something. There is no real reason to have a name attached. From a 911 perspective, it can be tracked to a general area. All phones have GPS integrated. But no called party will know who you are. No signature required when you buy it. An online reverse search on the number will will just indicate the city, and carrier. That's it in a nutshell. I won't tell you how much fun you can have with one. Text a random number with "Okay, I buried the bodies. Now what?". Stuff like that. At the lot, we'd buy them for our customers who didn't have a phone so they could get financed, so there were always a couple fresh units lying around. I use one for my Craigslist biz. As submgreenbay said, they can be physically tracked, perhaps down to a 3 meter area thanks to our good buddies in the NSA, so be advised to have your fun shortly before the phone becomes one with the recycling bin. Remember to remove the SIM card before you do this, your prints and DNA are gonna be all over that thing. I've put some thought into these things, can't you tell?
