I've gotten prepaid sims for things but obviously that's not really a feasible method for your main life phone.

Reminds me of this doc I watched a couple weeks ago.

TLDW; psyco travelled across the country to kill his mom, then drove back. He bought a burner phone at the start of his trip, but kept his normal phone with him the whole time. The cops were able to track both devices as they each connected to the same cell towers while traveling together from the west coast, to the east coast, and back again.
