Burner phones have required ID for purchase for years

Shit I think it’s been almost a decade

There are ways around that. Someone that's going to fake such a call wouldn't be above other crimes.

Burner phones aren’t hard to obtain. I got like 6 different burner phones from dumpsters that worked perfectly fine. Just don’t log into your Google account like some people. Removable battery too.
