Burner: Second Phone Number

Ad Hoc Labs, Inc

4.7

Burner’s got a new look! Not only that, but the features were improved to make life easier for you (we got you!).

We’ve rebranded & updated everything from the logo to the app interface, but we’re still the market-leading second phone number app that allows you to have multiple numbers for multiple reasons.

We arm you with the texting, calling, and organizational tools you need to manage the various aspects of your busy life. We’re a second phone number app, sure, but at our core we’re just trying to help you navigate this wild, weird world in the easiest, safest way possible.

HOW BURNER WORKS

Burner is the only app that provides you with total control over your communications boundaries by providing multiple phone numbers with settings for life, play, and more. However, it’s so much more than just a second phone number app for calling & texting. You’re able to do so much more than text now…

Burner allows you to use your phone with unlimited anonymous numbers. This means that you can enjoy multiple phone numbers with unlimited calling, texting, and possibilities while keeping your personal number private.

Use Burner to:

Maintain your privacy & keep your number safe
Organize your social circles
Protect your anonymity
Communicate freely with spam blocking & muting
Set boundaries with do-not-disturb settings
Attain inbox bliss with enhanced organizational features
Call and text now with immediate, unlimited calling & texting

Privacy features abound, but we’ve also enhanced our organizational features so that you’re able to incorporate Burner into your everyday life, whether you’re a privacy maven, love online dating, or simply just need multiple numbers for multiple life passions. With Burner, you can set boundaries with spam call blocking, do-not-disturb settings, and more to ensure that you’re always in control of your communications.

Burner is free to download and free to try. Get a free 7-day trial and a real second line to try with our enhanced privacy, spam-blocking, and communication features. Additional numbers are available through subscription, making it easy to add more lines whenever you need them.

BEST IN CLASS

We’re not here to brag (okay, maybe a little), but we’ve been featured as a TIME Magazine Top 50 App and we’ve appeared in The New York Times, WIRED, TechCrunch, Engadget, and more.

Why do they all love us so much? You can download the app to see for yourself, but we’ve been recognized for excellence and innovation (and the fact that we offer real numbers, not fake phone numbers or second lines that only work for a week).

Burner is the most reliable and fully featured virtual phone number app available, boasting premium calling & texting features that include blocking, muting, and do-not-disturb settings plus the ability to easily switch lines when needed. After all, life is complicated enough. Your phone doesn’t have to be.

Version 5.11.2
SpendingHate itCustomer Service
This app utterly fails at the main feature it’s supposed to do, namely, quickly burn numbers and give you a new one. For months, you could not burn a number then get a new one without having to contact their customer support. They seemed unconcerned about fixing this major issue and it will take you days, if at all, to resolve. Then, against my better judgement, I decided to subscribe for a “verified” number. They took my money but I have yet to be able to get a verified number. They have been giving me the run around and continually asking for personal information they do not need when they already have my main number associated with my subscription. Now, they are not even responding to follow ups, which leads me to assume they have no intention of providing the service I paid them for. Other more minor issues revolve around the hideous ui. Top of the list is quick access to the numbers assigned. Old ui loaded a little bit faster and you could easily see the numbers without additional taps. This ui, you have to pull up the list of conversations to see any number after the long app load. When you need quick access to provide a number this becomes annoying very quick. I do not recommend this app or this company in any way.

Version 5.4.11
AudioBugsHate itNotificationsSpendingUpdates
Similar to other reviews, it used to work - albeit with hiccups - before the last update (5.4.11). After that, messages/conversations show empty when opened. That is, a tagline is visible for text messages or voice mail notifications on the Home Screen / conversation list. When opening any conversation, however, no text messages or voice mails are visible, rendering the paid number useless as no messages in the history can be read nor voice mails listened to. Even more unacceptable is that contacting support via email - the only option they seem to allow - has been ignored and unanswered. Will see if a negative review is as incentivizing to garner a response as it has proven to be in the case of other poor reviews here. Edit 1: 3 x 3 = ZERO: 3 weeks since this app’s support email was contacted and 3 days since review was posted. ZERO responses, app still not functional while being paid for. Edit 2: Thank you for the developer standard response to contact you by email. I had contacted you by email only to be told in effect that this is a bug that cannot be resolved other than by a new version of the app. No time line for when such a release may be planned. Also declined to provide access to an earlier version of the app without this bug or provide a refund for the months the app has been not functional. Zero stars review stands for zero resolution over more than a month.

Version 5.3.2
AudioCameraFamilyFeature RequestsLove itNotifications
The app is good but can be great, however the developers seem to do the bare minimum 1. The developers got rid of Face ID unlock - this was much better than having to put a pin in each time you want to unlock 2. When you edit a contact and hit save the photo, notes, and the number the contact belongs to don’t always save 3. No capability of sending video MMS 4. An option to assign a different ringtone and test message tone is missing - If you want to distinguish between your burner texts vs other texts you can’t because there is no option to pick notification tones 5. The design looks like something from the 80’s - it would be great if the UI reflected the iOS standards - rounded corners etc. Looks like a 15 year old built the app and did nothing to make it aesthetically pleasing 6. Why would you have the option to pick colors for each number but limit the color choices to just a few colors. Provide a color selection tool rather than these pail boring colors 7. Also what is the point of changing the icon of it still says burner underneath the icon.
