description Burner Overview

Burner is a popular app for creating temporary phone numbers that can be used for specific tasks and then discarded. It is designed with privacy as the core focus, allowing users to interact with others without revealing their real identity. The app provides a simple interface for managing multiple 'burnable' numbers, making it ideal for online dating, classified ads, or any situation where you want to maintain anonymity while still being able to receive texts and calls.

help Burner FAQ

What does Burner do with a temporary phone number?

Burner, made by Ad Hoc Labs, lets users create secondary phone numbers for calls and texts and discard or replace them later. It is available through the Apple App Store and Google Play, although number availability and supported regions can vary.

Can Burner receive verification codes from every service?

No, a virtual or temporary number is not guaranteed to receive verification codes from every website, bank, dating app, or messaging service. Some platforms block VoIP or disposable numbers, so Burner should not be treated as a universal replacement for a carrier phone number.

Does Burner charge per number or use a subscription?

Burner offers both prepaid numbers and subscription plans, and subscription numbers can include calls, texts, MMS, and number swaps depending on the plan. The company says pricing and promotions can vary, so the current amount should be checked in the app or on its pricing page.
