Been wracking my brain about the best anon phone solution.

Buying a cash mint SIM and Pixel, activating VPN on cafe wifi, you still have SIM linked to IMEI the first time you add it to the network. Even porting it out after it's not quite anonymous unless you change the IMEI.

That said the best solution seems like porting a Mint SIM into JMP.chat for account verifications only. Unless there's a way to have more than one so they can't correlate them between services and market to you etc. How many ported SIMS is enough - same one for banking biz twitter etc or as crazy as one different number each?

Searched all over and it's a hard nut to crack howto overcome the VOIP hurdle and keep from being pinned down to a number that can be cross-indexed between platforms.

A big question is whether the Mint SIM number should be used for anything at all or just hosting VPN data to/from network.

hey, the substack didn't send me a notif about this (weird) , sorry for a late reply.

I still believe you atleast need 1 physical SIM that is linked to you, just in case.

jmp.chat US/CA numbers can be used almost everywhere, there are some services that I have found that block it (twitter), but mostly it works.

Twitter seems to have reverse carrier search so even if you port it, they know the carrier and can block it, for twitter - AA on jmp.chat is best as I mentioned in the post.

I am not really familiar with Mint's ecosystem so can't say.
