Hello Mongers,

I've used a phone number through skype as I can't safely have a physical burner phone. However, Skype seems to no longer be functioning.

What options are out there for a virtual only burner phone that doesn't need identifying information to set up?

Thank you,

RD.

Thank you,

RD.TextFree app; TextFree dot us. Nice because it has both a mobile App and website. So you can text from your PC, which is a lot faster. And you get to choose your number from what they have available, in a chosen area code. So you can choose something easy to remember. There is a call option with only a limited number of free minutes per month, but I generally only use it for texting, totally FREE.

I would be secretly checking Texts in the bathroom and a full-screen ad would takeover my phone full sound blaring. And you had to let the full 30-seconds play before you could exit.

I don't want to change numbers so I reluctantly agreed to pay for the ad-free version. You fuckers win this round.
