🌐Spam-Free, Private Connections

Say goodbye to annoying callers and intrusive messages. Our award-winning spam-blocking feature means you can connect confidently without the fear of spam calls and texts.

🙃 Simplify Your Busy Life

Burner provides essential tools, like private SMS text messages, and organizational features, like color-coded inboxes, to effortlessly manage your communications — no matter what you’re talking about.

⏰ Set Boundaries with Do Not Disturb

Need some uninterrupted me-time? Burner's Do Not Disturb feature allows you to establish quiet hours or specific times when you don't want to be bothered by calls and text messages.

🔥 Burn Your Phone Number When You Don't Need It

When you no longer need your second phone number, simply burn it with a single tap. Any connections and text messages associated with that second number are permanently deleted, leaving no trace behind. Talk about powerful privacy.

📩 Auto-Replies for Effortless Communication

Burner offers auto-reply functionality, allowing you to set up automatic responses to incoming messages. Stay connected and communicate effortlessly, even when you're unable to respond immediately.

📞 Voicemails and Enhanced Communication Features

Never miss an important message on your second phone number with our voicemail functionality, ensuring that callers can leave you messages when you're unavailable. Other features (some premium) include AI voicemail sorting to sift through the noise, improved call quality, and video messages for fun, private video chats.

BEST IN CLASS

We’re not here to brag (okay, maybe a little), but Burner has been featured as a TIME Magazine Top 50 App and has garnered recognition from The New York Times, WIRED, TechCrunch, Engadget, and more.
