Burner: Second Phone Number

Burner provides replaceable second numbers for calls and messages, with conversation organization and blocking tools.

Our take

Consider for separating marketplace contacts

A separate number can limit exposure of a primary number.

Keep in mind: US and Canada availability excludes Puerto Rico; no emergency calls or SMS short codes, and usage needs connectivity and carrier minutes.

What you can do

  • Create or delete second numbers
  • Separate calls and conversations
  • Block contacts and schedule quiet hours

Good for

  • Eligible users managing temporary contacts

Consider alternatives for

  • Users needing emergency service or reliable verification codes

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 18.0.
  • US and Canada availability excludes Puerto Rico; no emergency calls or SMS short codes, and usage needs connectivity and carrier minutes.

Privacy & permissions

Messages and number records remain sensitive; a second number does not guarantee anonymity.
