That and or a credit card to activate. We bought a burner phone for our son who went to the Boy Scout National Jamboree the year Trump spoke. Just setting the phone up we had to jump through hoops. I’d be shocked if criminals went to such lengths. True, you can get a “cash card” Visa/MasterCard but the verification of setting up the phone itself was insane. I speculate this is done intentionally to discourage criminals from using them in the first place.
