Hi -- cofounder here! Thanks for posting ; feedback or questions very welcome! There's also a new Chrome extension hunters might find interesting: .
This is a great concept! Really useful for craigslist posts!
I love Burner - how does it work in the backend though? do you just have a lot of numbers and you cycle through them
we prototyped on Twilio and now use several providers on the back end that can serve us clean phone numbers and provide other telephony capabilities at carrier scale. Old-school virtual number services used to have to do a lot of work to manage this part of the infrastructure on Asterix, Freeswitch, etc., but telephony is going the way of services like AWS. This is great for us -- we get to spend our time focused on the experience and user-facing features.
Interesting, that's pretty cool
Seems super useful for Tinder. :)
yep, a big use case for us.
Congrats to a great team!
Congrats - finally had a great use case for it a couple weeks ago and it worked perfectly.
yay!
Drug dealers rejoice!
I mean, if that's what you're in to. Sure. :P
Has this been removed from the US app store? Can't find it, even using the "text me link" feature on website
I can't find it either. Looks like it has been removed? - How can we get this?
we pulled it down temporarily as we're having a weird data migration bug that's impacting users and we want to minimize that. sorry for the inconvenience; we'll be back in action shortly. EDIT: back to normal
Hey Greg, I tried signing up but it ads a weird 01 at the beginning of the phone number when I try sending the text message, any hints on how to sign up?
any chance you're trying to sign up with a non-north-american number? in any case if you would please send details to , that would be super-helpful.
