I have an iPhone and Verizon is my wireless carrier. As I said a comment on a thread somewhere that I have three rotating favorite providers. I communicate with two of them about 3 times every week and one of them periodically. I am on a limited plan. I received an ebill showing the balance above my usual monthly charge. I checked the bill online and read the monthly text number contacts. I recognized all of the historical text numbers for that month except two. Of course I was perplexed. So, I contacted Verizon about it and they stated that it could be the burner number. I did not know what burner number was and googled it. I learned that the customers could buy an additional phone with burner number where they will have to refill the bill when needed or install a burner app on the regular phone. In my humble opinion, I think it would be easier to download a burner app on my iPhone. But, before I do that, I wouldlike to ask the AR brothers for their suggestions.
