Yes, I've been thinking about a burner phone but difficult to find pay as you go sims these days here. You end up in some form of contract. There you go .... You want privacy, you have to pay for it. Wtf! We'll soon be screwed altogether. They'll soon ban non-stock ROMs too ... Not long till this happens ....
I don't have working cell service in my burner phone at all right now. I just use my regular phone as a wifi hotspot and run the retail app on the burner. But tello.com has some low cost pay-as-you-go plans. They are a T-mobile MVNO and are supposedly ok. I'm on a redpocket monthly plan and am fairly happy with it despite horrible reports about them in the past. Look at r/nocontract on spezzit for more ideas.
Good shout. I hadn't thought of the hotspot option although I wanted to relegate WhatsApp to the burner phone as I just use it for kids school.
