TOTAL SCAM
Does not work at all. And that's AFTER putting in a verification number which defeats the purpose of privacy. This is a bait and switch and should be removed from the app store. When you open the app and punch in numbers to make a call, nothing even happens when you hit call. Verification texts will not come through. This is a 100% nonfunctional app with fake reviews.

No trial, no thanks
I simply don't trust any app that won't offer a free trial. That tells me that you don't think I'll pay for it after trying it for a few days. If you have no confidence in your products, why should I?
⚠️ This app is terrible. **DO NOT BUY**. It's a complete money grab.
There's no trial option to test it out, and you have to pay for a full year subscription just to use it. As soon as I paid—before even using the app—I received a message from the developer asking for a positive review, which immediately raised red flags. Now I see why there are so many negative reviews. This app is awful.
**Texting feature:**
- First, I tried sending a text to my own number—nothing was received.
- Then, I tested sending a text to the burner number and got a message saying, "Free Msg: Unable to send message—Message Blocking is active."
- In another test, I texted a friend. They received the message, and I got a reply back, so at least that worked.
**Calling feature:**
- I asked my friend to call me, but they kept getting a busy signal.
- When I tried calling out, I kept getting a message saying I needed to verify my number. Which number? My personal number or the burner? I’ve tried both, and neither works.
At this point, I’m contacting Apple for a refund.

Hi Guinness, thanks for your feedback! Would you shoot us an email at support@joinburnd.com, and we'll make things right for you? Thank you!
Burner App
I have just started to use the burner app and has been easy safe and a lifesaver. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a second number and wants to stay anonymous.
THIS APP IS A SCAM
DO NOT GIVE THIS APP A PENNY
Great app
Hells me keep work separate from personal when u get a text or call on burner number I know it’s important and only work related. Keeps me from having to check every text and call I get on my personal number.
Great app
Love this app. It’s easy to set up and use. I really feel safer knowing that my real number isn’t being used when I have to enter a phone number online. Plus this app is transparent. They don’t hide anything about costs. Which I appreciate.

Thank you so much for the kind words!
SCAM
While signing up for a phone number( and before paying for the app) it allowed us to select the area code 212 which is the area code we specifically wanted.
Only after we paid for the app did it say we could no longer use the 212 area code that it indicated we could use prior to paying for the app.
We therefore no longer wish to use the app because it does not permit us to have a 212 area code.
NOT WORK FOR OVERSEAS SMS
We note that it also does not work for overseas SMS.

Excellent application
Excellent application for discrete phone calls. I use this application for all legal and forthright purposes to get a hold of people who are trying to evade me and the law. I recommend it for all people and various professions that it would be applicable.
Perfect for business
This app is perfect for when I travel. I can conduct business without giving out all my personal info.
