At Wal=mart in the U.S.A. you can buy prepaid cell phones
You have to buy new phone number cards to reactivate the cell phone
You dial the number on the card and it puts credit on the cell phone
They might be called Tracfones
I do not know if they require an ID to purchase or if you can just purchase them with cash without using your credit card number and ID
And keep the receipt on the way out of the store to prove you are not shoplifting
