- How do you use this on iOS?
  
  JMP is compatible with any XMPP client. However, this iOS app was linked on their website: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/snikket/id1545164189
get a burner phone and have a homeless person pay for it with cash... so you dont get on cameras (make sure you dont bring it home, dont have your regular phone next to it, dont drive with it while its ON, avoid all cameras, etc..)
- Lol
It really depends on where you are located. Some jurisdictions allow activation of SIM cards without personal info, some do not. Then there's the matter of physical and financial surveillance.
But seriously, unless you are actually that desperate for some reason, why would you have a hobo pay for a burner phone? Wouldn't that being recorded on camera be more suspicious?
just don't link id to your number and don't activate it near your home
- I need to give google my phone number for it. won't let me make a google account without
  
  you can make a google account without a phone number by using an android 4 device.
  also what i nean is you can just get a sim card from a normal carrier or any reseller (go with resellers if possible, like small kiosks/grocery stores that resell sim card boxes).
  This may not work in countries sith mandatory id verification for phone numbers tho
Have you checked out Bisq?
- yea I'd have to buy I've $100 tho
Use your Sim only when you're far away from your house. Avoid eSim, as they require to register with a carrier.
ik google and privacy dont go together very well lol. ideally free? but privacy costs money so it is what it is.
what exactly are you trying to do? you are being very unclear
- get a phone number not linked to my name that i columns use for a PayPal and whatnot
  
  to them buy monero? why not just do monero for cash? you're over complicating
