Can burner phones be traced?

For those who don’t know, burner phones are basically inexpensive prepaid cell phones designed for temporary use. It is popular for those who want to hide their identity as it does not require users to have an account. This makes them difficult to trace, especially if they are purchased with cash. As a result, the use of burner phones could make it more difficult for congressional investigators to find evidence, if any, of the coordination between the Trump team and rally organizers.

However, although difficult, a burner phone number can be traced. All mobile phones (including prepaid phones) and burning apps go through a cellular operator or virtual number operator that backs up call logs, data usage, approximate location, and text messages. Law enforcement can force companies to provide this information. Cell phone subscribers don’t realize that even with non-pseudonymous information, their identity can be revealed when it comes to a disposable virtual phone number. Whether through a data breach or vendor marketing / advertising decisions, users waive their rights to the data collected about them when they activate a service. Even making a voice call can give a sample clear enough for the speech recognition software to recognize the user. It is also possible to establish your identity by tracing other phones that are simultaneously moving between cell towers.
