**** BURNER FEATURES ****
GET NUMBERS
• get a phone number, or multiple phone numbers, from preferred area codes

• easily tweet, copy/paste, and share your burner numbers
STAY IN TOUCH
• get calls or SMS’s to your Burner number
• make outbound calls and texts, or reply to inbounds, with your Burner number
• view convenient threaded conversations with each caller
• turn the ringer and SMS on and off to let calls and texts ring through to your phone line, or go straight to a professional but anonymous voicemail

• reply via SMS or voice using your burner number
STAY PRIVATE
• never reveal your real number or let callers through to your real phone’s answering machine
• “burn” or trade in your virtual number at the click of a button, instantly taking it out of service and deleting it from your phone
**** HOW BURNER WORKS ****
• Burner comes with enough credits to create 1 mini-burner that will expire after 20 minutes of voice time and/or 60 text messages, or after 7 days, whichever comes first. (Or you can burn it at any time.)
• Inbound and outbound calls forward to and use your actual phone line (and cellular minutes) but keep the call identity private in both directions.
• Text messages do not use your phone's SMS allowance.
• You can buy more credits, starting at 3 for $1.99, with discounts for buying more
• You can use credits to buy various types of burners and extensions to burners (a standard, 30-day Burner, for example, is 5 credits). Burners can be extended, but only prior to their expiration.
• When you burn a number, we take it out of service and delete it from your phone immediately. Burner numbers cannot be recovered.
• Burner numbers do not support MMS.
• Not for 911 or emergency calls.
