Your Burnerphone is an interesting idea, but how does it compare to buying a prepaid wireless phone from a brick and morter store with cash?
Can your phones be recycled? What carrier are you using?
- rdegges 13y agoWe're basically trying to compete with the prepaid wireless phones from physical locations. We think we're better because: - You can order the product online without making a physical appearance anywhere. - Many of the prepaid cell phones in physical stores come with the SIM chips activated -- so the phone's location has already been broadcasted to cell towers and is pre-registered, making it slightly less anonymous for the end user. - We're going to be accepting bitcoin in the near future (we're finishing that integration now), so we hope to compete with cash purchases in that regard. - You can recycle these phones like you would normal phones. - We piggyback off a ton of different US carriers -- so as you move around you'll be swapping between various carriers in your region.
