I disagree with a lot of these statements. They're too absolute (because it's missing some options)
If you get a smartphone, install a non-android OS on it, you can then use wi-fi without anything identifiable being leaked (aside from like mac address, but that's not a big deal unless they somehow discover it, and even then it still shouldn't be that big of a deal unless you were like a #1 most wanted person in the world, and even then you could spoof the mac address). Once you have wi-fi you can do all sorts of stuff (VPN, VOIP, virtual number, etc.), making it completely impenetrable since using a VPN with [end-to-end] encrypted VOIP (or text/etc.) makes all sorts of spying/IDing impossible (short of trying to get malware or a bug on the device itself)
Granted, I suppose the specific topic was only talking about burner phones, but it also seemed to imply that burner phones were the best option.
I guess in theory one could buy cheap used smart phones and use them as burners still too for that matter. One doesn't need a powerful device to do these sorts of things.
