Overview
Burner is an app that gives you extra phone numbers you can use to keep your main number private. You can make and receive calls and texts from these extra numbers, which is great for things like blocking spam, keeping your personal and work contacts separate, or just having a bit more privacy. The app lets you create different numbers for different situations, block unwanted calls and messages, and even auto-reply to texts. Plus, it’s ad-free and lets you delete or switch numbers whenever you want. It’s pretty handy if you want to control who can contact you without sharing your real number. Available on iPhone and Android.

Tips and Tricks for Getting a Burner Refund
- Act quickly and request the refund as soon as you realize the issue, ideally within minutes of the charge.
- Keep all communication documented: use email or support tickets to create a paper trail.
- Be polite but firm in your language—clearly state you want a refund and are willing to escalate if necessary.
- Use escalation paths: if initial support denies the refund, ask to escalate to a manager or higher-level support staff.
- Leverage payment platform tools, such as Apple's Report a Problem page, to request refunds independently of the app developer.
- Dispute charges with your bank or credit card company if the company and platform deny the refund after repeated attempts.
- Avoid canceling before requesting a refund, as some users report needing an active subscription to request or validate refund claims.
- Restore purchases in the app or demonstrate that you tried to use the service to substantiate your refund claim.
- Timing matters: request refunds as soon as possible, ideally within the free trial or refund policy window to increase chances.
- Be persistent and patient; some users report multiple attempts and weeks of follow-up were necessary.
- Threaten to escalate outside the company, such as filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau or consumer protection agencies, if internal escalation fails.
