“Never buy a cellphone that lacks a removable battery.”
Good luck with that, unless you buy only flip phones.

Yes, most of them are used, but I can vouch for one of them that I bought new.
There is a reason that it’s hard to get cell phones with removable batteries, and its going to get harder to get cell phones with removable sim cards.
Which brings up another point- it is usually a lot easier to swap out SIM cards on a phone with a removable battery than it is on a phone without.
My mobile phone is a smartphone, and it has a removable battery.

The perfect alibi for someone who has lazy cops....
Leave cell phone home, sneak out of house in ninja clothing on foot, commit crime, sneak back home...
I was home all night officer, ( they check cell phone records, yup hey was home all night )
Just store your phone in a foil bag when not in use. You wont be able to receive calls, but it wont be trackable either.
