So here's my honest take on Burner: Second Phone Number. I've tested a bunch of privacy and anonymity apps, and this one's pretty solid. The ability to get a throwaway number and burn it when you're done is super useful. The VPN works well too, though it can slow things down a bit. My only real gripe is that the free version is pretty limited - you'll need to pay to unlock more features. But if you need a reliable way to keep your personal number private, Burner is worth a look.

Description

Been using Burner: Second Phone Number for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that gives you a private phone number you can use for calls, texts, and browsing. Pretty solid if you’re into keeping your personal info under wraps.

Here’s what you do: you sign up, pick an area code, and boom – you’ve got a second number. And there’s also a built-in VPN to browse anonymously and block trackers. And you can burn the number whenever you want and get a new one – super handy.

Look, if you’re big on privacy and don’t want to give out your real number to everyone, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the VPN can be a bit slow sometimes – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if that’s your thing.
