A second phone is often called a BURN PHONE or BURNER ... use a kid or homeless so you're not on video. pay them to buy you one phone and three or four SIM cards (use cash not plastic duh, and wear gloves when you handle the cash.)
You use these phones to make calls you don't want your competition or the government listening in on. Typically the SIM card is single use, since once you make or take a call, if the other side is wired then that wire will move onto your number (SIM). Once you're done, pull the SIM, snap it in half and put in a new SIM, no need to toss the phone itself.
Edit: oh, forgot to include - depending on how serious your competition is, or the level of govt interest in you, it would be wise to buy SIM cards from different stores around town. a single store might buy a batch of 10-20 SIMs at a time from their supplier, and the govt could just put a trap / wire on all those SIMs - it's easy now post 9/11. Buying from different stores around town means they'd need to trap 100s of SIMs which they probably won't do unless they're very interested.
You're kidding, right?
Subject of the post is about security and an "alias" cell phone ... I feel my reply is relevant and useful... maybe a bit to paranoid for a camping related website :)
