[Electronics-Talk] Has anyone ever used a burner phone?

[Diane]

Kyle –

. I have to see if I can find one of my old phones . the Google number thing is a good idea. I’m going to have to research that so I can learn how to get it and how to use it.

 

Thanks bunches for the solutions!

Diane.

Also, if you have an Iphone there are different apps you can use that will assign you a new phone number and you can received calls and messages through the app. One that I used was magic jack which does cost something, but is much cheaper than having a totally separate phone and number.

For this kind of situation I like to either use a free virtual number through a service like Google Voice, or a burner SIM card that I insert in one of my old phones that I still have around. If you do not have an old phone lying around another option would be to find a burner phone option that utilizes a cheap Android phone so that you can use TalkBack.

Regards,
Kyle
