Burner phone numbers in the US seem to be of a particular range of numbers and can also be flagged. I used to use pay as you go burners for random tasks in the past and noticed they gave me trouble when trying to use them to get verification codes sometimes.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "burner phone". I know for a fact that you can get a regular prepaid plan from T-Mobile and pay for it cash, no IDs; that fits the "burner phone" requirements for me. Do you mean that every prepaid plan uses that range of numbers?
Prepaid plan vs post-paid, probably not, but some discount prepaid providers are probably considered “less trust-worthy”, or less profitable when evaluating VoIP numbers.
