take your example. you pay cash, but it's most likely rung up on computer cash register, so time, date, method of payment is logged. that receipt log can now be correlated with CCTV to pinpoint who was in the store at that time making the purchase, and this may be extended outside the store, depending on if other CCTV systems are available to piggyback off of, to follow you further (to car, neighborhood, home, friend's home, etc.).
but don't forget that that phone's info can be obtained from its inventory log, and each phone is unique on the network. so just from your purchase, they can already identify the phone. from there, not difficult to trace it on the network and then use various targeted mobile surveillance techniques to then reveal the owner. and all this can still be correlated with CCTV data as well.
btw, do you use only burner phones? or do you have a main phone? did you take that main phone with you to the store when purchasing the burner phone? oops!
What about storing burners at my flat though, won't that make it useless anyway?
So, when getting a new sim, and burner, have someone do it for me to be secure?
any idea how to get a sim card anonymously?
perhaps others can weigh in on this point because i'm just speculating. but seems to me if you're going to burn phones, that should be all you do (keep a hard copy of family contacts and such).
sorry, secure SIM cards, that's beyond me. i've only read about it, but know nothing of the technical details.
Do people hide their burner phone then somewhere and never use it at home?
these are dangerous times for surveillance. avoid mobile if you can, and if you do, you cannot be too careful. that said, facial recognition technology being the new kid on the block will make - is making - it even more difficult to ghost the powers that be.
