all phones are traceable, but you buy a pay phone (like one at a gas station) and pay with cash, unless then get you on video, you're good. They track phones through Tower Triagulation. It was invented in WWII as a pre-radar type thing, but now it is used for cell phone tracking. However, each phone is traced using its serial number, IMEI. You can buy (or make it yourself, if you're skilled enough) a phone that changes its IMEI randomly with every call, so that any particular call can be traced, but it should not be possible to link different calls, as long as they were made with different SIM cards. You can also re-program the phone to have a different IMEI, and this is what a lot of mobile phone thieves do to avoid the phone being blacklisted. This is the reason why it is now illegal to change your IMEI in many jurisdictions (you risk up to 5 years in prison and a fine in the UK). Easiest way of avoiding being traced is stealing a phone and ditching it after single use.
