For a terrorist, what if they use a pay as you go sim? The calls could be traced but to whom? I foresee a surge in PAYG sim sales.

i watch a tv program a while a go, some guy wanted to commit the perfect murder by killing someone at random, he used a payg sim to order a taxi for a remote train station, he waited and shot and killed the taxi driver.

the police traced him by getting his mobile number from the taxi company, i think then they traced the shop where he topped up the phone. dont under estimate big brother or the police

I saw that too. But some folk do indeed get round that sort of thing quite successfully. I have seen it done ( from a completely detached distance of course). You can top up with cash. And you can get rid of the sim after. The seller of the top up doesnt need to know your number.

Nothing to hide. Nothing to fear.

Yep. A good idea. Just needs to cover all angles.
