Private call and text management for iPhone
Burner is an app built to give you more control over mobile conversations and protect your personal phone number. Designed for iPhone users, it lets you generate temporary or long-term secondary numbers so you can separate work, social, and marketplace interactions without handing out your main line.
Core capabilities
- Unlimited calling and SMS support for selected numbers
- Create and maintain multiple secondary phone lines from one device
- Dispose of a number instantly when it’s no longer needed (“burn” it)
- Keep chats and contacts tidy by grouping numbers for different circles
Extra protections and premium tools
- AI-powered voicemail transcription and smart handling
- Send and receive audio and video messages through enhanced messaging features
- Optional VPN included with premium tiers for encrypted connections
- Built-in spam filtering and do-not-disturb controls to reduce interruptions
Pricing and how to start
The app is free to download from the App Store. Core functionality is available at no charge, with subscription plans unlocking advanced tools and additional lines for power users.
Who this helps
Burner is useful for freelancers, sellers, dating, classified ads, small businesses, or anyone who wants to keep personal and professional communications separate. Its combination of disposable numbers and organization features makes it a practical privacy tool.
