- Sleeep 9y agoNeither is this. I don't know much about Twilio but when I clicked on the link in the article it asked for a bunch of personal information. I also don't know how this is any different from, say, Google Voice?
- dogma1138 9y agoTwilio is a business with a full KYC process this isn't an anonymous service.
- Nexxxeh 9y agoDepends. A burner can be for anonymity, but can also be for disposable use. For most legitimate usage cases, like those in the OP, are covered by using Twilio.
- nucleardog 9y agoYou don't always want anonymity, and when you do it still depends on who you want anonymity from. Sure, state actors will probably still be able to track you. But the weirdos on Craiglist and the spammers that scrape it won't.
