I highly recommend graphene.
And for anyone going to a protest to get a cheap burner and flash graphene, then leave your normal phone at home. You can swap phones on your plan pretty easily.
Alternatively, for the very paranoid, go set up a prepaid and anon line and move your device there. Pay cash for the card and set it up online at a public library.
Especially if you’re planning on a little civil disobedience.
Just a reminder, if police think something is about to go down, they’ll spoof the tower and collect device information… including things like phone numbers so if your suddenly changing behavior to go somewhere and do something the fascists dickfucks in office won’t like… best be paranoid.
A second device will still at least keep them from getting all your personal shit. And seriously, Don’t just turn off your normal phone. Leave it at home.
Are sim cards not a think anymore?
Not really.
Most new phones use other identifiers. You might be able to buy very cheap prepaid phones or cards for them, but they’re going away from swappable sims.
For most carriers, if you occasionally want to swap to a different device it’s just a matter of going to your account online and swapping it (for example, travel. It’s safer to use a clean device rather than your normal phone. Both for border crossings and everything else.)
Quite literally not where I live. None of the carries here offer esim's.
(opps, wrong person,)
Hahahaha.
My country doesn't have protest problen. Mostly because it's all mostly old people that live here and just don't care anymore about anything.
Edit: lol
Did Florida secede and we didn't notice?
Seriously though, that sounds like not the worst place to live.
I'm talking about croatia my friend.
Definitely a better option than the former. All the beaches with none of the falling into the sea.
