Indulge in the joy of being anonymous as you send unlimited calls and messages through your Burner phone number. Nobody else has to know you’re using Burner.

Choose the area code you want, whether that’s a prestigious 310 Los Angeles area code or a random area code to help you remain as anonymous as possible.

3. Communicate freely

You’re in control. Unlimited calls and texts let you connect as usual, while spam call blocking ensures only your chosen contacts get through, so you always feel confident answering the phone.

This app will simplify your life with:

🔒 Conceal Your Real Number

Fed up with distributing your personal phone number but not keen on getting a second SIM card or eSIM solely for private communications? Burner allows you to generate temporary, throwaway phone numbers for any situation.

🌐 No Spam, Just Private Connections

Bid farewell to bothersome callers and invasive messages. Our acclaimed spam-blocking feature ensures you can connect securely without worrying about spam calls and texts.

🙃 Simplify Your Busy Life

Burner equips you with essential tools, such as private SMS text messages, and organizational features like color-coded inboxes to easily manage your communications regardless of the subject.

⏰ Define Boundaries with Do Not Disturb

Require some uninterrupted personal time? The Do Not Disturb feature on Burner lets you establish quiet hours or specific times when you prefer not to be disturbed by calls and texts.

🔥 Dispose of Your Phone Number When Not Needed

When your secondary phone number becomes unnecessary, simply burn it with a tap. Any connections and messages linked to that number are permanently erased, leaving zero traces. Now that's robust privacy.

📩 Automated Responses for Effortless Communication

Burner presents auto-reply functionality, enabling you to configure automatic responses to incoming messages. Stay connected and communicate effortlessly even when immediate responses aren't feasible.

📞 Voicemails and Enhanced Communication Features

Never skip an important message on your alternate phone number with our voicemail feature, ensuring that callers can leave you messages when you're unavailable. Additional features (some premium) include AI voicemail sorting, better call quality, and video messages for enjoyable private video chats.

    My phone keeps getting spam calls. I've tried a few different apps before and they worked well in blocking the spam calls. It was like one or two every six months. But then I tried this new app, it's good for texting but not for calling. Now I get like 5 to 10 spam calls every day. Maybe I just picked a bad number. Other services I used didn't give me this problem. TextNow is almost the same, cheaper, and no spam calls.

    Just got a notice saying my minutes were low. Chose to extend like I always do. But this time, they only offer subscription, no prepaid pricing anymore. Super sneaky move! Emailed Burner, they confirmed no more prepaid pricing. They purposely don't want to admit it publicly.

    The app is functioning fine. However, the picture quality needs improvement as the viewing window on a phone is quite small and doesn't stay in place when scrolling through messages. The process of scrolling up to see previous messages is not seamless and often results in being kicked back to the last message, which can be very frustrating.

    I used to have this phone number for a long time, but out of the blue today, it disappeared from the app along with all my call history. I've always paid for the service through Google Play and never had any issues until now. It's really frustrating that there was no warning or explanation from the company. I'm not even sure if they are still in business based on their lack of customer support. Think twice before using their service if you rely on your phone number for important things.

    This texting app is fine, but not great for making calls. When I try to connect a call, there's a noticeable delay and it sometimes sounds like the call is getting cut off. What really annoys me is that they automatically signed me up for a renewal without my consent, and I can't figure out how to stop it within the app. The instructions say to cancel through Google Play, but it's not clear how to do that. It feels sneaky and untrustworthy to me.

    There are many second line apps to choose from and I've tried them all. "Burner" is the best. Try the free trial and see how easy it is to use, with affordable rates, sensible packages, and top-notch customer service. Once you have "Burner," you'll wonder how you managed without it for security. Highly recommended!
