It really depends on where you are located. Some jurisdictions allow activation of SIM cards without personal info, some do not. Then there's the matter of physical and financial surveillance.

But seriously, unless you are actually that desperate for some reason, why would you have a hobo pay for a burner phone? Wouldn't that being recorded on camera be more suspicious?
