Is there any reasonable/not a huge pain in the ass way of paying for your phone contract without it being in any way tied to your real identity?

I’ve gotten prepaid sims for things but obviously that’s not really a feasible method for your main life phone.

That would require law enforcement to obtain the recording and have a reason to do so

I mean, yeah? If I’m buying anonymous phone credits, the police probably has a reason to go looking for me.

Act itself is not illegal… Police wouldn’t care un less you are already on Santa’s list… But it would not be police either but rather internal spooks who track that list.

It doesn’t need to be illegal for you to end up on a list of people they check up on
