Self explanatory.
Post the pros and cons that come to your mind and your opinions, of course I think not everyone should be able to obtain them.

Burner phones
Started by frost.,
Yes.
Why shouldn't everyone be able to get a burner phone?
Should be available for everyone, preferably from a 24/7.
They shouldn’t save on log-out so it gives more incentive to use a regular phone. They shouldn’t hold contacts, as they’re merely for one-time uses/short periods.

Makes more sense.

What if someone who isn't a criminal doesn't want to leave any traces of something private on his own phone, which he has a mobile subscription to?

You need to find a balance, e.g not a saveable item, not being able to hold contacts, a certain amount of credit that uses up for every call and text, upping the price.

which is why I said not everyone should be able to get it.
but if everyone is able to obtain it, should be very short term. one time usage
When you think about it, it really doesn't matter. What difference does it make to anyone whether people call from a contract phone, a prepaid phone, a satellite phone, or two tin cans connected by a string? Fact is the two players will reach one another for communication. Nothing stops someone from role playing their regular phone as a burner phone. Unless there's some wiretapping script, none of this pros and cons shit matters. Without a wiretapping script, the burner phones are just a cosmetic add-on to the phone script. So why does it matter if a lot of criminals would have them? That also begs the question - why add a bunch of obstacles for the sake of having cons to it? If someone wants to role play making calls from a burner phone because it makes sense to their story, why not just let them instead of making them jump through hoops?
There was a suggestion thread on burner phones that was accepted (and might be implemented in the future):
Already an accepted suggestion.
