Burner: Second Phone Number App Comments & Reviews

Burner: Second Phone Number Positive Reviews

Used to love it!The app used to work well. Then in December I purchased a verified number. I’m fine to purchase the service but since then I’m no longer receiving messages. I can see the tagline on the Home Screen yet when I open the conversation, there are ONLY my messages. That’s it. I deleted and reinstalled the app since nothing would work. Now I don’t even see messages in the conversation that I JUST sent… what the fart??? For a paid service and two paid numbers, the app should work!!! I don’t think that this is an unrealistic expectation! I reached out to customer support yet based on the reviews here, I may never hear from them. Very disappointing and frustrating 🤬 I was able to connect with customer support. It took a couple of attempts yet in the end, they reset things on their end. I then deleted the app once more and now everything is working again so I changed my 1⭐️ review back to 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thank you for setting things straight!.Version: 5.4.11

AccessibilityHello, could you please make this app more cleaner, a more accessible for people with disabilities who use screen reading software on their phone such as for the iPhone their screen reader is called voice over. For Google it’s called Google talk back. I don’t know if Windows has a screen reader for any windows related phones. The buttons on your app, and how they’re set up, and other options are not clearly defined and easily accessible when trying to create a voicemail message, or how to make sure that your account is active. Please make these adjustments. There is a federal law called the Americans with disabilities act of 1990 has been amended and in that act all companies need to make their websites and apps and other things accessible for people of all types of disability. This is a great app. You just need to make it more user-friendly. For everybody. Especially people with disabilities. We are important too. More companies need to pay attention to making things accessible. For people with disabilities. If companies do not. They can be sued. I encourage companies if you’re not sure how to make things accessible. Reach out to Apple. Reach out to Google. Find out what their best practices are for making their website an apps more accessible..Version: 4.3.12

Great with a few occasional texting glitchesI used this app for online dating and it really is the best! I love how I can send pictures and also create a contact for each caller. Luckily I never had to used the “ghost” feature because there was 1 great person I ended up giving my real number to. And the other guys never texted back after I told them I wasn’t interested, so we’re good on that too. Keep in mind— you cannot use Bluetooth while using the app. I tried it once in my car and it failed. You have to answer directly from your cellphone, there’s isn’t an option to answer from a wireless source. Second thing— glitches. Twice in 2 months (90% success rate) I worked through mis-communications because a text I sent never made it to the guy and a text he sent me I never received. If the text is too long, it won’t go through. Better to send many small texts, not a paragraph. Even better to talk over the phone. Just be aware of this so you don’t jump to conclusions and think the other person is a jerk for not replying or answering in a way that has nothing to do with your last response..Version: 4.0.16

This app has so much potential but…The app is good but can be great, however the developers seem to do the bare minimum 1. The developers got rid of Face ID unlock - this was much better than having to put a pin in each time you want to unlock 2. When you edit a contact and hit save the photo, notes, and the number the contact belongs to don’t always save 3. No capability of sending video MMS 4. An option to assign a different ringtone and test message tone is missing - If you want to distinguish between your burner texts vs other texts you can’t because there is no option to pick notification tones 5. The design looks like something from the 80’s - it would be great if the UI reflected the iOS standards - rounded corners etc. Looks like a 15 year old built the app and did nothing to make it aesthetically pleasing 6. Why would you have the option to pick colors for each number but limit the color choices to just a few colors. Provide a color selection tool rather than these pail boring colors 7. Also what is the point of changing the icon of it still says burner underneath the icon..Version: 5.3.2

Infinitely easier than having multiple phonesIf you know what a burner phone is, then you already understand the concept behind this app. Except, it's SO MUCH better because you only need a single phone to use multiple phone numbers. How it works: you pick a phone number, and give that number to people. They call the number, which then calls your own phone's number. The caller never learns your "real" number, so it stays completely safe. If you never want that person to contact you again, you can burn the number you gave them, and that's it. They can't get in touch anymore. The only challenge with using the app, which you quickly get use to, is you must press the "1" button to accept an incoming call. After you do it a few times it becomes a habit and is not a big deal. I highly recommend this app, I use it all the time and find it to be very reliable and convenient..Version: 3.6.5

All my calls and texts?It doesn’t seem to get ALL incoming texts and calls. I also understand there’s an option to display the burner number when incoming calls are coming in, OR the number that is calling you. Is there a way to do both? Can the app be designed to receive a call from someone and display their number, but also identify that they are actually calling the burner number that is coming through? Maybe a symbol or icon that represents flames or the app logo to let you know that a caller actually called the burner number and not your real number, even though it’s displaying the callers number? For example, my friend calls my burner number… and I have it set up to display caller ID… but I have no idea what number they dialed… it just shows “incoming call from…”, and it would be nice if it showed the caller ID, but ALSO displayed if the called your burner number or regular number. This makes a huge difference when actually answering calls..Version: 5.3.1

App is great, mostly for screen readersI am a blind screen reader user using voiceover on an iPhone 11 Pro 64 GB. I have one favor update the apps please make sure that the buttons are labeled with words and as well as images. For example, one of the buttons says cigarette I don’t know what that button is and I’m afraid to push it. And I have encountered another issue. I don’t know if this is a screen, reader, issue, or the layout of the app, but when I am scrolling through Messages, it shows me an old message first, and then I have to scroll all the way up to the top left of the screen to see the new messages. All in all, I’m very satisfied with the app it helps me to stay engaged with my clients and be more productive. Thank you for making this app more accessible in the months to come..Version: 5.2.4

App doesn’t working perfectly with contacts access ONGreetings, recently I am having a problem with the app, when I give access to my contacts and I enter the app it takes a long time to present me the list of conversations, however it freezes, do not load my chats and do not send or receive my messages either, it takes a long time to normalize and once the app is stable everything works fine and my contacts saved on my iphone appear but if I exit the app to another one or home screen when I return to burner the it happens the same thing but if I turn off the access of burner app to my contacts everything works perfect but without having any of my saved contacts just number show up. I think it's a bug that needs to be fixed but it's very annoying and the support doesn't help at all through mail. I NEED TO SEE ALL MY CONTACT AND THE APP WORK PERFECTLY WITH THE ACCESS TO MY CONTACTS “ON”.Version: 5.3.0

Great way to protect your personal phone number from data miningThis app pays for itself in value. I got sick of getting robocalls constantly, so I purchased a burner subscription in the hopes of using it in lieu of my personal number on websites etc to keep my personal phone more private. I use the burner number for basically anything that wasn’t super important/personal— every time I’m prompted for a phone number on a website I purchase something from, every time I need to give an app my phone number to “verify” an account, etc, I use the burner number. I can already tell it’s working because I’ve begun getting spam texts and calls on the burner line, probably mined from the various apps and websites I’ve used it on. Once I get enough spams etc at that number, I can just burn it and get a new burner line. Kind of neat!.Version: 4.3.2

After reading another post...You use a phone number that might have been used before. Which means you might get calls expecting someone or something else. What I do is wait and see the contact then return call/ text if it was someone I knew or expected. Best service, has saved me in ways you’d have to think about if you had a string of bad luck. Update to Dev(8:48, 13 June 2019): I love your service and I was just trying to explain to others. It’s not your number even if you get spam, the spam comes from previous owners/users of the number. Burn the number and use a different number. This service is such a useful and blessing. I’d rather give a number out that isn’t my personal number of 5-10+years to all the places that have “said they don’t sell your info” or potential crazy..Version: 3.10.3

Best Burner Phone Number App on the AppstoreThese guys charge a fraction of the price for numbers that 95% of these other companies are charging exorbitant amounts for. I have had burner for 2 years now and I have not found any other app that even comes close to what Had Hoc Labs does. Burner is extremely efficient too and I almost never have a problem making or receiving calls from other clients. Best of all, the customer service is elite, the only time ever had an issue is recently and they responded to my email within 24 hours and immediately fixed my problem within their server. I usually do not leave reviews like this but I was compelled to make one after discovering how bad these other competitor phone number apps actually are..Version: 4.3.11

Almost as good as text messagingThis service works almost as well as the texting service provided by your cellular phone company. And it has much more compatibility than Google Voice; it works with most services that I've tried (though a few will still reject any VoIP number). And it can receive MMS/picture messages and send them too (for a fee). The app, on the other hand, has a few rough edges. Notably, trying to position the insert cursor, doesn't show you the text as you move, leaving you to guess where the cursor will land. Also, renewal reminders are hit or miss. Sometimes you'll get reminded that your burner is about to expire; sometimes you won't. And even when it works, it may only give you an hour or two advance warning. Too bad for you if you're busy when that happens. Expired Burners disappear and take your number and all your messages along with them. Also, this app drains your phone battery like nothing I've ever seen. Like streaming video. Like continuous GPS navigation. Even if you're idle waiting for texts to appear, your battery will die quickly. It makes me suspicious about what the app is doing behind the scenes. Other than that, the service is great for times that you don't want to use your permanent, identifiable cellular phone number. And it's reasonably priced..Version: 3.6.3

Some bugs latelyI’ve used the app for quite a few years and it’s been very helpful. Overall, it’s been a dependable service that gets the job done. I’m glad to see group conversations were added as a feature and so far that’s worked well. I’m also so relieved that editing text has improved, especially when copying and pasting into Burner. Although the past few months there have been quite a few bugs that have surfaced in other areas for me. Firstly, hyperlinks are no longer touchable in my messages. I have to copy the whole message into the Notes app and then copy and paste just the URL into Safari. Secondly, I’m not getting notifications for all of my new messages. I do have a few conversations muted, so maybe that’s a factor. But as soon as I open the app, I suddenly have a notification badge appear. But only when opening the app first..Version: 5.4.14

Great app but could you add this featureI use my burner lines for my business and set it up so the burner number appears to my phone, however it would be useful if I could keep my setup the way it is but the phone number of the caller is displayed in the description screen of the incoming call from burner as I need to be able to separate my incoming calls per burner number and the only way I can do that is by maintaining the incoming calls to display as the burner number but I’d like to see the incoming callers number displayed somewhere on the screen that displays my burner number as well..... My other feature request is I make 100 calls per day using my subscribed burner number and I’d like to be able to search my history of phone calls by the last 4 digits of the incomings phone number. That would allow me to easily search through my history of phone calls to find a call I may have made earlier.... Otherwise great app.... I wanted to add I realized I could search last 4 digits of a phone number in burner past calls using search of iPhone and it locates number in burner app and takes me right there. That allows me to do what I have to do :).Version: 4.0.6

Great when it works, but frustrating when it doesn’tThe Burner app presents a mixed bag of functionalities for its users. On one hand, when it operates as intended, it's nothing short of brilliant, offering a seamless and highly effective service that can be a game-changer for managing communication privacy. However, this positive experience is significantly marred by its inconsistency and the plethora of bugs that plague its operation. Users frequently face the frustration of the app only working half the time, leading to unpredictable reliability. Such technical issues not only dampen the overall user experience but also raise concerns about the dependability of the app for critical communications. While the concept and the moments of flawless performance hint at its potential greatness, the app urgently needs attention and improvements to its stability and bug issues to truly fulfill its promise..Version: 5.4.13

Works as intendedIt does exactly what it’s supposed to. The only downside is not being able to set a different ringtone for the burner line, and still show the caller’s incoming phone number at the same time. Currently you have to set Burner to display YOUR own burner number as the incoming phone number when someone calls that line. You save your burner number into your phone’s contact list and set a separate ringtone for that phone number. However, since the caller ID shows your burner number, you can’t screen who’s calling you that way. It will display the caller’s phone number in your call history so you still have access to the number after the call. Overall good app though and I was even able to get a local area which I was unable to do through even google voice..Version: 3.6.5

Potential to be the best…butIt’s been a year since I purchased the monthly subscription. So far, it’s been good. It does what it supposed to do. This app uses your phone line to make a call, which i like. It doesn’t show your real number. Also, it has do not disturb feature which is awesome and you are able to control it. Sometimes, it has some glitches, but very rare. You can receive and send calls and pictures. It even supports some GIFs. I would love this app to be able to have video capabilities and voice messages. At least short videos for like 1 to 3 mins or so. Hopefully this feature will be available this year. Besides that, it’s a great app. I would of give it a 5 star but, because it doesn’t have the video capabilities I’ll give it a 4..Version: 4.3.12

Very useful applicationI’ve been very pleased with this app. It works as advertised. I regularly use it so I don’t have to give out my real number on sites like craigslist. The service isn’t free, but I would not expect it to be. I like how it gives me the option to get rid of a temp number right after use, or keep it for as long as I may choose to. I can also have multiple lines active at once. The only issue I have had has nothing to do with the developers. Some of the numbers it activates receive an excessive amount of spam callers. This is annoying at times but that is a risk you will always run into when getting a new phone number, as it has most likely been used by someone else before..Version: 3.8.8

Doesn’t cut the cakeBurner app Works for the most part You can make calls from your burner number Get texts and send them And get voicemails when the app wants to work The only problem is when the burner number rings for incoming calls it either goes straight to voicemail or doesn’t record the voicemail at all if the rings settings is turned off. When you do get incoming calls you get a notification saying missed call. If you tap the notification it calls out using your real number. Which defeats the purpose of having a second number. The app doesn’t ring for incoming calls Doesn’t matter if the settings are changed in the app or on my phone I was liking the app and paid for a month but won’t be using them going forward because the features don’t work as they say they should I never used the call forwarding feature on the app because I got a new number before using this app so I didn’t have any numbers to forward but since using the app I’ve accidentally call some people tapping on the notifications from the burner app It should of dialed out using the burner number but doesn’t That’s the biggest problem I have with the app but it’s been glitchy since downloading it.Version: 4.3.10

Oops - update & excellent customer serviceI got this app instead of having to carry a 2nd phone for work. I paid for a year subscription, but kept getting notices that my number was going to “expire”. I double checked to make sure the subscription had gone through, which it had, so I didn’t think much of it. Well, my subscription is good… but the number I was using was “burned”. So then I had to pick a new number which meant I had to go back & update all my work info so I could be reached if needed. Update!! The Burner team was able to retrieve my original number so I could continue to use it for work. I really appreciate the excellent customer service!.Version: 5.2.0

Six hotdogs eight bunsIn the same way that it doesn’t make sense how there’s different numbers of buns then there are hot dogs in the grocery store, the same here with the number of credits that they sell in packs versus how much the different services costing credits so you always end up like just one or two credits short with you change from the last purchase. On top of that the subscription system I’m not sure if this is an Apple thing or an app thing but There certainly problems when it will either tell you that the purchase was successful or tell you it was unsuccessful because you arty have a subscription but that I would never let me make a number from that credit and repeated out reach to customer service field in them Knowledge Ing in the problem at all.Version: 3.7.4

Great App except for ONE thingSo I needed a phone asap that works without subscription and on Wi-Fi. This app came to my rescue. It really does work great as a phone line and texting. The ONLY thing that makes it inconvenient is the notifications does not work to your phone. For example, if you get a text you have to open the app in order to have knowledge of the text. You will not receive a notification on your phone as you would for messages from your email or social media. The calls do go through, however. You will never miss a call but you may fall behind if texts if you are not mindful to open the app periodically throughout the day. It really is the o ly reason I could not give more then 3 stars. Hopefully they fix it soon or make it optional in their settings..Version: 5.4.3

“Account error”Your support service is the worst have ever come across. I’ve been writing your support about my account being suspended for no reason and anytime I want to login it keep saying account error and I should contact your support for help but have done that since last week and there is no response back about reinstating my account back. I do have an active 3 line monthly subscription on it which you guys didn’t allow me to use because of your selfish interest, you also didn’t allow me to use another email to get another number since I have an active subscription for 3 lines which I find so absurd. All I want to say is that you people are a scam and a sham for ripping me off my money.Version: 5.3.4

Awesome App for Second or multiple phone numbersGreat app easy to use and fast. The only thing that bothers me is when I receive a phone call it always starts with this annoying automated message which says, “press 1 to accept phone call press 2 to decline” or something along those lines. If the developers can remove that and just make it seamless where whenever we pick up the phone it just answers it automatically would be nice. I’m driving sometimes and get a call from my second number and then I have to press the 1 on my phone which is really just annoying. Other then that small issue everything has worked great and I like this all better then all the others one!.Version: 4.3.12

PerfectThis app has worked perfectly for me for over a year now. I enjoy the privacy settings that disable notifications and the unlimited texts and minutes options..Version: 3.10.3

GreatIts a very nice app, nice design and works great. Just wish we were able to change number more often. I didnt realize you could only burn a couple times before you had to buy again..Version: 4.1.4

Trouble cancellingHad issues cancelling the subscription, and was charged 3x. Fortunately customer service helped me out and resolved the issue.Version: 5.4.10

Love the app in general. requirement to press 1 on accepting calls prevents hands free use.So in general I love this app & have been using it for a few years now. What I love is that especially when trying to hire someone for a job or service on Kijiji or Craigslist. I do not have to give out my permanent phone number in case someone turns out to be spooky, crazy & or a stalker type & I have run into that. That I can also at the touch of a button change my phone number free of charge once a month with my subscription is invaluable. I love that it does text messaging as well & performs all the important functions of a cell phone. I also love, but have not yet used the VoIP feature . What I don’t understand & am not thrilled with is that to the best of my recollection when I first got this app and there was an inbound call ( and I do not use the app frequently so have no idea when this was initiated or even if it’s possibly always been this way as I’ve taken so few inbound calls., but I think that previously when there was an inbound call , it came through my cellphone identified as a burner call, but when I accepted the call or essentially answered the phone the call proceeded normally. What I’ve noticed the last two times I’ve placed ads for services and had inbound voice calls is that once I accept ( answer or pick up) the call on my phone, I now also in addition need to press the number 1 key on my dial pad. I normally use a Bluetooth headset to speak on the phone & the handset is programmed so that I can answer or accept the call hands free , but now that I need to manually press the 1 key, it means I have to take the phone off my belt, open the case, press 1 on the keypad and *then* begin the call. From my perspective this is not helpful . The app itself is quite clear when a call comes in that it’s coming in through Burner. I do not understand why I have to further hit the 1 key to proceed, it’s especially annoying when using the phone while driving or walking on the streets as if when driving in order to be safe I have to pull off the road, get my phone in my hands , press the 1 key and then talk, completely negating the hands free answering method in the vehicle & also requiring me to take the phone out of the bag I usually carry when I’m walking around and open the case and pressing the key. Changing that and possibly also offering email forwarding so I could create an anonymous one time email address & have anything sent to it forward to my actual email address would be the only significant things I would see added or changed. Also, it is not clear that if you enable the VoIP feature on your burner number if it will then *only* work when connected to wifi , or if I need to make an outbound or accept an inbound call when I am not connected to wifi if it will still work. Either way, I’m a happy subscriber & at this point see no reason I would terminate the service . It does exactly what it says it does and it does a bit more than that too..Version: 4.1.5
