BurnerApp and SLYNUMBER are two services that allow users to get a second phone number on their mobile device. They are similar in allowing users to choose a new phone number, make calls, receive calls, send texts, create a custom voicemail greeting, and much more. However, while BurnerApp and SLYNUMBER are similar in that regard, there are key differences between them that separate them.
To help explain one key difference, let's discuss giving out your personal number online via dating apps. It is easy to find information about someone by plugging their phone number into tools and search engines. It's true, and it is why many people don't want to give out their personal phone number to people they have never met. Having a second phone number to give can help protect your identity, which is critical in today's digital age. Common issues arising when you give out your number include text scams, spamming, and stalking. So, should you get a BurnerApp number or a SLYNUMBER number as a second number for dating?
BurnerApp is ideal for casual users who need a second phone number for basic purposes. For example, when messaging potential dates online, you can use the BurnerApp number as a second phone number so you don't have to give them your actual number. However, since the BurnerApp is not a real phone number, you can't use it to register your account for the dating service. That means you are still giving out your personal number to verify your account online, which can lead to privacy concerns even if you give out different numbers to your dates. Most online dating sites and platforms say that the phone number is not used directly for advertising, but they also don't say it won't be used.
Meanwhile, SLYNUMBER is an actual phone number that you will have with us. In the dating example above, you can register your account with the SLYNUMBER phone number, which is not the case with the BurnerApp. That way, when registering that number for a dating site, you can protect yourself since it won't be your real phone number. Then, just like the BurnerApp, you can give potential dates your SLYNUMBER phone number, which helps protect your privacy and personal details.
Regarding pricing, BurnerApp and SLYNUMBER both offer an affordable subscription service, meaning users can pay as they go via a small fee. If you need a second phone number for only a few months, both services allow you to use it when needed.
For the same price, you can port your existing number to SLYNUMBER. For more information about our porting process click here.

SLYNUMBER is different than business phone services in that it is an app that lets you choose a local phone number to make phone calls and send text messages. You can still take business calls and customer calls from your cell phone but without subscribing to a phone plan from a service provider. Use SLYNUMBER for the call management of all your business needs/business communications and ditch the landline
