Burner Lets You Create Temporary Phone Numbers
There are many cases where having a private phone number can be beneficial and increase personal privacy. However, setting up a second cell phone line can be costly and require more effort than it’s worth. Cool product Burner makes the process far simpler. Burner is an iPhone and Android application that creates private numbers for use on your smartphone when you need them. You can either set up a separate number indefinitely or make it active for a specific period of time. This creates a wall of privacy between you and general public. For example, if you ever need to give out a number on Twitter or Facebook for business reasons, Burner allows you to create a private number specifically for those calls. If that number is ever compromised somehow, you can just “burn” it by deleting it from the app. Users can keep as many extra phone numbers as they want in the app at any given time. If you have trouble getting your Burner numbers to integrate into your phone properly, you will need smartphone computer support.
The Burner website refers to privacy as a key motivator for the product’s use, and it has many use-cases under that motivation. If you are selling something on Craigslist but don’t want to put yourself at risk, you can simply use a Burner number. You can also give Burner numbers out to individuals you meet but don’t immediately trust. However, there are other potential use-cases as well. For example, if you need a business number separate from your own personal number for promotional purposes, you can use Burner without having to purchase a dedicated telephone line.
Burner is not limited to any single mobile platform. Interested users can currently download the app in both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. However, the device is only compatible with smartphones and not tablets or iPads. If you don’t believe the app is working properly or you have issues downloading the program itself, contact iPhone support or Android support for assistance.
