Prepaid Burners are temporary phone numbers—great for salespeople, dating or Craigslist. They're available to purchase in the Burner iOS and Android apps. Download the app to get a free temporary phone number for a week.
Subscription Burners are perfect for a long-term second phone number for work or personal use. Get started with a new disposable phone number below!
+ How does Burner protect my personal phone number?
We reroute calls coming to your Burner and send them to your cell phone so your personal number stays private. This is why it looks like your Burner is calling you when you receive a call and why it looks like you are calling your Burner when you dial out.
The recipient on the other end of a call or text will only see your Burner temporary phone number on their phone.
If someone calls your Burner and you don't answer, the call goes to your Burner voicemail. If you do answer, you'll hear “press 1 to accept this call.' Pressing 1 puts the call through to you. This functionality acts like a barrier that prevents callers from hitting your personal number's voicemail.
You create text messages from within the Burner app. The texts appear to the receiver just like they would a normal text message. The recipient only sees your Burner fake phone number.
+ Does Burner use the texts and minutes on my phone plan?
Texts sent or received count against your data only (and don’t use much data at all). Calls made or received on Burner count against your cellular phone plan voice allowance -- though unlimited phone plans are common these days, so this may not be an issue.
+ How does Burner show up on my phone bill?
Calls made through Burner show up on your phone bill as calls between your Burner number and your personal number. The end numbers you are calling through Burner are not shown. Incoming calls show up as calls from your Burner number.
+ How long can I keep a Burner number?
As long as you want. Prepaid Burners need to be extended manually before their expiration date. Subscription lines auto-renew, and you can have up to 3 of those.

Burner is a mobile application for iOS and Android made by Ad Hoc Labs, Inc. that allows users to create temporary disposable phone numbers in the U.S. and Canada.[1] The app allows smartphone users to have a phone number that is anonymous and can be thrown away, for purposes such as online ads, while traveling, for business projects, or for dating profiles.[2] Burner is a product of Ad Hoc Labs, an Atwater Village, Los Angeles-based software startup.[3]
Create A Phone Number Free
The application's name is a reference to so-called 'burner phones,' prepaid mobile phones that are replaced frequently. Burner phones have been used to control costs, reduce contractual obligations, and provide a degree of privacy in mobile phone use. They have been used in popular culture by drug dealers on The Wire and Breaking Bad, spies on Burn Notice, and agents in Mission: Impossible.[4][5] The company has stated it would comply with law enforcement requests but would require valid search warrants.[6][7]
History[edit]

The Burner application launched in August 2012 with angel investors including Techstars founder David Cohen and super angelDave McClure in October 2012.[8] Its iPhone application was released in August 2012, followed by an Android version in April 2013.[9] In October 2013, Ad Hoc Labs raised an institutional funding round led by Founder Collective and Venrock, with participation from 500 Startups, Miramar Digital Ventures, TenOneTen Ventures and others.[10] In an interview with Ars Technica, CEO Greg Cohn stated 'we definitely think that communications, and telephony specifically, have been left behind by the wave of social innovation that’s been happening. The network should be smarter, it should be more socially aware and more privacy-aware.'[5] He has also stated that the long-term vision for Burner is to build technology where phone numbers are smarter and act more like software.[11]
Features[edit]
Burn App Rebecca Louise
Burner allows users to make phone calls and VoIP calls and send SMS and MMS messages via phone numbers issued through the app.[12][13][14] Users can purchase credits for temporary numbers or add an additional line for an ongoing subscription fee.[15] The Burner Connections features, launched in October 2015, allow users to integrate their Burner numbers with third-party applications like Slack, Google Sheets, Dropbox, Evernote and SoundCloud.[16][17] This functionality allows people to automatically archive SMS messages and images, program auto-responses, sync voicemails and more. In November 2015, Burner launched a way for developers to connect the app with various applications, like IFTTT, or create new custom integrations through the use of webhooks.[18][19][20]

During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the group received between $350,000 and $1 million in federally backed small business loans from First Republic Bank as part of the Paycheck Protection Program. The organization stated it would help them retain 86 employees.[21]
