Now’s Probably the Time to Consider One of These Burner Phones

LG 306G by TracFone
This LG is the intersection of cheap and modern-ish. It has a touch screen, can connect to Wi-Fi, has 3G capabilities, and even comes with a 4GB microSD card. You lose some juice, though, as it has a talk time of just three hours.
$8.50 at Walmart.

LG K3 by Boost Mobile
This is higher grade of burner phone. It runs Android 6.0, has 4G LTE and even includes a 5-megapixel camera. With the K3, you don’t have to deal with the hassle of a super-outdated phone or pay a bundle for the added features. Plus, Boost Mobile offers international roaming, so you can bring this with you across the border.
$30 at Best Buy.
"WE’RE LIVING IN a new era of political unpredictability. Who knows what race, religious group, or professional sector will be scrutinized tomorrow? If you’re concerned that your devices will be targeted for confiscation and search, heed caution now. Start carrying a burner phone—a handset you can wipe clean and destroy without much thought. We’ve rounded up some good options.
One note: The point of using a burner is to avoid leaving a trace of your phone activity. Our list of recommended phones (and one app!) comes with links to online retailers so you can read more about the devices, but if you’re trying to stay private, you should buy both the phone and a pre-paid data allotment with cash. Most of these handsets (and the prepaid cards) are available at big-box stores here and abroad."
