ULPT: Request: I need to send an IMessage with a video anonymously
Posted by Unstableandlost@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 11 comments
Title says it all. I need to send a video and a text message via iMessage that can’t be traced back to me.
I was thinking of going to an Apple Store and using a phone there to do it or maybe some cellphone store. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you recorded the video then consider the metadata that would be recorded in the file and ensure you clean it up before you send it.

Register a burner Gmail account, set up Google Voice and just text the video+message.

Using pinger? A text app

Why does it have to be iMessage? A normal SMS or email won’t work?
Ask to borrow someone’s phone. Say yours is frozen and you don’t want to fright your spouse. Tell the stranger thank you very much, just a quick paragraph so she knows my plans in case my phone is permanently broken.
Apple Store may work. The phones are actually connected to the internet, so I’d imagine a real iMessage will work.

This. OP why won't other methods of communication work? And why does it have to be associated with a phone number?

The average consumer does not realize that there is any way to send messages other than the one that comes packaged on their phone.
A majority of people do not even know how an App Store works. They think the apps that come with the phone are part of the phone and will use them until they break, then buy another phone.

Buy a cheap iPhone 6 or something with cash, burner email, you can use protonmail, or those temp 10 minutes emails, register the account, send your message, and that's it.
Alternatively, it could also be sms or MMS with a non iPhone and a burner number or use Google voice

Buy a used iPhone with cash off the street. Use public internet. Make a new iCloud account.

Ain’t happening captain
Unstableandlost@reddit (OP)
I absolutely would go through that but I wanted associated with an actually phone, just not mine.
Is it possible to use a phone at a cell phone store to do this?

Not in demo mode no
