i was going to call you out for being overly precise, but given that this is literally hosted by essentially a Telecom company its a pretty valid point. That being said, burner doesn't mean anonymous. Burner means disposable. Obviously you're not going to dispose of your account, application, and server every time you're done with the number. It's also not even a phone. I guess its a phone application in the most minimal sense of the word..

So here's by detailed response https://www.twilio.com/blog/2017/07/building-a-fully-featured-burner-phone-with-kotlin.html#comment-3423920873 https://www.twilio.com/blog/2017/07/building-a-fully-feature... But I agree with kchr in principle. "Burner" may not mean anonymous but it's more often than not associated with anonymous and anonymity. It's the go-to perception or association if you will. So I think kchr and I are saying the same thing: the article is using the burner/anonymity context as a little click-bait IMO and it's not a big deal but it's a valid point.
