Burner, for temporary phone numbers

In plain words

Burner is an app that provides temporary phone numbers for making calls and sending text messages. Launched in 2012, it allows users to create disposable numbers that can be used for a limited time before expiring. The service is designed for anyone who wants to keep their primary phone number private while communicating with others. It's useful for online transactions, dating apps, classified listings, or any situation where sharing a real number feels risky.
