I hadn’t used a burner in years, last year my phone broke on a trip and I just wanted to grab a phone, to get me through the week. I can say it’s not like it used to be! Can’t just grab one at the gas station and pop it in a phone. Gotta give ID, sign up for accounts, etc.

It depends of the country. You can buy a sim card at an Oxxo in Mexico like you would buy a bag of doritos. I did it precisely last year.

Having said that if you leave the country I am pretty sure that sim card and number would be deactivated after a few months if not connected. I am not sure how fast a number can be reused.
