Time to ditch your digital leash and get yourself a burner—because your iPhone’s location history is basically a fascist’s shopping list. If you’re resisting in real life, you need a clean, cheap, track-me-not device that won’t tattle when things get spicy.
This guide shows you how to:
- Buy a burner phone without surveillance strings attached
- Activate and use it safely without linking to your identity
- Set up secure messaging, maps, and apps for protests or underground organizing
- Dispose of or rotate phones before they can be traced
- Avoid common traps (like logging into anything with your real name, you beautiful rebel)
Burners aren’t just for spies or sketchy dudes in movies. They’re for protest medics, safehouse runners, supply coordinators, and every freedom fighter who doesn’t want Big Brother knowing when they grab coffee.
🔥 How to Weaponize Your Burner Phone Without Getting Burned
1. Buy It Right
- Pay cash only at a gas station, discount store, or big box retailer.
- No loyalty cards, no digital receipts. Keep it anonymous.
2. Prep Before Powering Up
- Leave your main phone at home or power it off.
- Go to a location that’s not tied to you (not your home/work).
- Turn on the burner only in airplane mode first, then adjust settings.
3. Use Secure Tools
- Download Signal, offline maps, and a secure notes app.
- Use Proton Mail or Tutanota for email (create accounts away from your identity).
- NEVER log into anything with real info—no Gmail, no Facebook, nothing.
4. Handle It Like Evidence
- Keep it physically separate from your regular devices.
- Use it only for organizing or actions—not your day-to-day stuff.
- Assume it’s compromised if you’ve made a mistake—rotate or destroy.
5. Dispose of It Wisely
- When it’s time to ditch it: remove the SIM, wipe the device, destroy the battery.
- Don’t toss it in your home trash—drop it at an e-waste location or out-of-town bin.
Today’s To-Do List:
- 📱 Buy a prepaid burner at a gas station or discount store—with cash.
- 🔥 Install Signal, offline maps, and encrypted note apps—then test it in airplane mode.
- 🧼 Never turn it on near your real home, work, or devices.
- 🏃 Rotate burners if you’re organizing high-risk actions or crossing surveillance zones.
- 🚫 Boycott: AT&T (they hand over protest data like it’s a party favor).
- 🪧 Event: Digital Self-Defense 101 Zoom (check Library Into Action for details)

If you’re planning to resist with the same phone you order DoorDash on, you’re basically inviting the feds to dinner. Get a burner. Stay sneaky. Meow means war.
