I have 2nd hand pixel 8a with grapheneos and i havent putted sim card in it since i have it, in my country i have to have registered sim card, iam afraid of IMEI be linked with sim card and once i put it in im f**ked, the reason i need to put card is to verify bank which need sim card being in device.
I did some research but became dumb from too much information
(sorry for my english :D)
Edit: also i want to be private because of my feature, idk if i wont live in country where propaganda is normal
Like my name and things releated to me will be linked to imei, i know its kinda schizo, but i dont want to be easy to find. I didnt commit and crime or anything, as i said kinda schizo thing
Do you mean you’d be linked to potential crimes of the previous owner? Well yeah there’s a slim chance but then you show authorities a proof of purchase.
Or if you mean your personal privacy, that’s non existent at the moment you connect to a cell network with a registered sim
Sorry, i dont really understand the second thing u said, what i want is to have phone which isnt really linked to me, want to be propaganda-proof, i use tor, signal, probably i already leaked my device so its findable to me as a person, but if i link once sim card with imei it is linked forever, right? I mightn’t be clear, sorry for that, if u need morw information i am open to answer
Do you pay for the cell service under your name?
no, but already used the card for many accounts
