Plenty of guides on registering burners for this app, no?



how am I suppose to have a burner bank account to use with it? don't forget mobile number are associated with your identity in China


> associated with your identity in China

Isn’t this true everywhere, just not effectively enforced?

You are generally supposed to provide ID and a street address to the phone company when your number is activated. Some places treat that as just a formality and will take any number and address in the right format, but at least in the EU it’s the law and they have to “require” it.

Are straight-up burner phones a la “The Wire” still a thing in the US?

Of course. Why would you have to provide an ID to buy a prepaid SIM card?
