Burner Phone
Hey all, I'm one of the creators of BurnerPhone, and just wanted to leave a comment with a few facts about the product.<p>We weren't really planning on launching this thing so quickly (we planned on making improvements to the site, etc. and launching in the next couple of weeks) -- but since all the press about the NSA / phone stuff came out it seemed like a good time to put our MVP online.<p>Anyhow, we're basically trying to provide our users with a secure-as-possible communication device that allows them to remain as anonymous as possible. Yes -- the government can definitely collect call data and SMS data, but by using different devices and SIM cards (phone numbers) you can abstract away all but the most difficult to track details: your voice, your writing style (sms messages).<p>Using a BurnerPhone allows you to make phone calls and send SMS messages that won't be linked back to your by your telco billing records.<p>In regards to how we work:<p>- These phones come with unlimited talk and text for 30 days, nationwide coverage.<p>- We piggyback off of tons of US carriers, so depending on where you're located, you'll be connected to a different cellular network.<p>- You can recycle these phones (we have a lot of plans with this in the future).<p>I'd love to get some feedback from you guys, really respect HN and your opinions.
