Burner press features:
“Whether it’s handing out a number to someone you just met, or using a disposable number to give out to marketers and websites, burners add an extra layer between you and the caller.” -TheNextWeb
"Having a thin layer of privacy between yourself and the rest of the world, when needed, is hard to put a price on." - New York Times
"Ever regret giving out your phone number? If you'd used Burner, you could have given out a temporary number that can be deep-sixed at the very moment your blind date gets awkward." - TIME

"Think of this as a mustache. For your cell phone." - Urban Daddy
