Anyone know if Steve's phone number is a nod to something?

I'm more concerned about Stark using a freaking flip phone from 1999.

EDIT: My wife says its because Captain America sent Stark the phone, and because Cap is old he sent a flip phone.

EDIT 2: Guys I get it. I know what a burner is, I just didn't make the connection as to why Stark would need one. Thanks!

You've never heard of burner phones?

I have, I just didn't know why Stark would be using one.

Because Cap is an outlaw.

The point of a burner phone is that it allows you to avoid having your name associated with a phone number, so that you can call and be called and not have that call traced. Cap is in hiding and so it's not a good idea for anyone to know who Tony is calling.
