Just want to make sure I don’t accidentally get one before the ban.
Not sure it’ll help, in the event you had such an accident.
Prob is, they want to require ID for getting onto the cell network. So as soon as whatever plan you accidentally had for the dev was renewed, you’d have to send in an ID to use the cell network anymore. I guess you could still use it as a non cell service device. So there is that. Like through local wireless or w/e. Some ppl find that a-ok. But it’s a big limitter.
IDK about VOIP. I thought I heard they wanted this to apply to VOIP too(??) So even using VOIP over local wireless might not work. But the VOIP industry has filed an opposition to the FCC plan.
For anyone in the USA, you can comment on the FCC docket. Be polite, brief, lay out good reasons.
It’s actually for all phones. Right now you can go into a store and buy a phone and get service without providing an ID. All phone lines would require government issued ID.

Instead of making corps police their own networks and verify caller origin, we’re doing this.
Where exactly does one get an anonymous burner phone? Just want to make sure I don’t accidentally get one before the ban.
Don’t get one from the grocery store. They are totally anonymous, so it’s something you definitely should avoid at all costs.
Especially don’t pay with cash

Burner phones don’t stop caller id spoofing which is the real issue, Brendon Carr, you dummy.
Yeah but it’s not about that
