"Burner phone" is a colloquium used in the United States referring to limited use prepaid phone, separate from your main phone, that's not tied to your identity. Usually used for drug deals or other criminal behavior.

This isn't really a burner phone as the Twilio link I clicked asked me for a bunch of personal information first.

I meant to write colloquialism not colloquium. Burned (heh) by auto correct.
