Hello everyone, I know it has been recommended to never use your real number for an encounter or when reaching out to new SP/MP. Any good recommendation for what to use now a days; ideally a budget friendly option. Thank in advance!
Text app recommendation / alternative number
- Thread starter OTExplorer
- Start date
I’m also interested in this. Are there apps that handle large images well, in addition to texts? The last one I used to use would either reject or convert images to postage stamp size.
I may be a little biased because I (and honestly a lot of providers I know 
) have text app numbers blocked, so there’s a good chance your message won’t even make it to us.
Buuuut, if you’re absolutely determined to use one instead of a burner phone, email, or Bluesky/X, TextMe gets my vote. It’s free, you can turn notifications off, delete and reinstall it whenever you want, and it’ll still keep the same number instead of making you start over every time. It’s definitely the least annoying of the bunch.

What plans are folks using for Burners?? or if you dont use a plan what do you have setup?? I get so annoyed with phone apps, been trying to use textnow but would rather go the separate phone route
I use TextNow too.
You receive a warning a few days before it takes back your number if you don't use for a bit.
What I usually do, I send a message from my burner to my work phone, like "Hey Buddy, what's up?" and reply from my work : "Wrong number", then delete both messages on each phone, lolll
I have my own burner phone & use Telus prepaid . $100 and unlimited texting for 12 months no name or id required.& I have same number for years so regulars recognize
