Burner is an application that provides users with a secondary phone number for calling, texting, and picture messaging. It is useful for separating personal life from work or business communications without needing an additional device. Users can keep their privacy by using a disposable number for activities like selling items online, dating, or situations where sharing their private number is not desired.

Burner protects user privacy by allowing the creation of temporary numbers that can be used for specific interactions and discarded afterward. This prevents personal numbers from being shared with strangers or exposed to spam. Additionally, Burner does not require users to share their real phone numbers, maintaining anonymity and security in communications.

Yes, Burner lets users select their preferred area code when setting up a new number. This feature is helpful for appearing local to a specific region, even if the user is not physically there. It provides flexibility for managing communications across different regions or for personal or business preferences.

Users can create multiple numbers with Burner, but the total number of active numbers depends on their subscription plan. Free trials offer limited numbers, while premium plans enable more flexibility, allowing multiple active numbers simultaneously. This is advantageous for users needing separate numbers for business, personal use, or temporary projects.

Deleting a Burner number results in permanent removal, making it unretrievable. All associated call records, messages, and data are also deleted to protect privacy and free up space. Users should save any important information beforehand, as this action cannot be undone.
