What Apple does
A throwaway address like k8x2p@icloud.com goes on the form. The mail still reaches you. The company never learns your real address, and you can switch the alias off.
Hide My Email, for your phone number
Never give out your real phone number again.
Hand companies a free burner number instead. Calls and texts still reach your phone. One tap deletes it when the spam starts.

What actually happens
You filled in one form. Now they all have your number.
Your name, number and email went to that site, to its partners, and to whoever paid the most for a fresh lead. Researchers who did this on 105 sites logged 8,214 calls back, half of the first ones within two minutes of hitting submit.

You already do this with email
Hide My Email, for your phone number.
If you have an iPhone you already know the idea. Apple hands out a random email address, mail sent to it lands in your real inbox, and the sender never sees your real address. ExpressNumber does exactly that with a phone number.

Get a number, hand that one over, keep yours private.
Nothing to install to answer a call, and nothing to change with your carrier.

This is now a permanent line to you.
- You type your real number into a quote form.
- It is resold within minutes, and then resold again.
- The calls never stop, because the number never changes.
- Your only real fix is changing your number: a carrier, a week of admin, and telling everyone you know.

This one is disposable.
- You type a burner into the same form.
- It gets resold too. That is fine. It was never yours to keep.
- When it starts ringing, you burn it and it goes quiet.
- Your fix takes one tap, and nobody who actually matters notices anything.
Where a burner belongs
Never give these people the number your mother calls.
Any form that asks for a phone number is a form that can sell it. Use a different number for every one of them.
Dealerships and car brokers
Hand over a number you can delete on the drive home.
Insurance quotes
One form, and the phone does not stop for months. Not on your number.
Agents and mortgage brokers
Whose business model is reselling the lead you just became.
Marketplace listings
Sell the couch without giving 400 strangers a permanent line to you.
Gyms, events and free trials
Anything carrying a "we may share your details with partners" line.
Sign-up and delivery codes
Verification texts land in your dashboard, tagged so you can find them.
One tap
When a number starts attracting spam, burn it.
You are not the one who has to move. The number they sold is. Burning takes one tap, and the calls stop the second you confirm.
- Nobody inherits your spam
- A burned number is quarantined for 30 days before it can go back into circulation.
- Your history stays
- Messages you already received stay in your dashboard after the number is gone.
- Burning is permanent
- So we make you confirm it properly. A burned number cannot be brought back. On the free plan you can replace your number once per calendar month.

Gym signup. Live for 4 months, 61 calls in the last 30 days. Burning stops every call and text to this number immediately, and it cannot be undone.
Go on, press it. Nothing real is burned here.
No new habits
Do not change your life. Just protect your number.
Your phone stays your phone and your real number stays your real number. The only thing that changes is what you write on the form.
Forward
Calls ring through to your real phone like any other call. No app to sit inside, no second handset, no new SIM.
Change it whenever you like, per number. It takes effect in about a second.

Why not just
The four fixes people try first, and why they fail.
Ask them to stop
In the same study, every opt-out method tested cut the contact down and none of it stopped: marketing came back from new numbers and new domains, and only 14% of the spam texts even carried the STOP language the law requires. Vekaria et al., IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy, April 2026
Change your number
A carrier appointment, a week of admin, every contact and every account updated. Then the new number gets sold too, because you still hand it to people.
Carry a second SIM
Money and hassle for one extra number that also gets resold. One spare number is a different number, not a private one.
Use a burner app
You have to live inside the app to see anything. ExpressNumber forwards to the phone you already answer, so there is nothing new to check.
Pricing

The free number is a real number you can use, not a three-day trial that expires before the calls even start.

Minutes count forwarded calls only, rounded up to the minute. Inbound texts are never billed.
Past your monthly allowance, forwarded minutes are 5 cents each, capped at $50 a month on Basic and $100 on Pro. At the cap, forwarding pauses and texts keep arriving.
Numbers are receive-only: they take calls and texts, they do not make them.
What we do with your number
A privacy product that tracks you is not a privacy product.
Your real number exists here for exactly one reason: so your phone rings when a call comes in. We never show it to a caller, and we never sell it.
Callers see the burner, never you
Your real number is the forwarding destination. It is not shown to the caller and is not part of what a company receives when you fill in their form.
No call recordings
We do not record forwarded calls. We keep the call time and its length, because that is what your minutes are billed from.
Nothing sold to advertisers or brokers
Selling contact data is the problem this product exists to solve. Every company we rely on to run the service is named in the privacy policy.
Burned means gone
A burned number stops forwarding immediately and sits in a 30 day quarantine before it can go back into circulation, so nobody inherits your spam.
What it is not: Numbers are receive-only. You cannot call or text out from them. They cannot reach 911, and they are not a replacement for your real line. Some banks and services refuse virtual numbers, so keep your real one for those. US numbers only today.
Questions
Honest answers, including the ones others bury.
Most will. Codes from stores, delivery apps, marketplaces and most sign-up flows land in your dashboard in seconds. Some services reject virtual numbers outright, and when they do there is no workaround on our side. We are not going to promise you 100 percent, because nobody can.
No. Numbers are receive-only: they take calls and texts, they never make them. You cannot dial out, and you cannot reply to a text from your dashboard. The only message we ever send is the one-time code that verifies your forwarding number.
No. These numbers cannot place a call of any kind, and that includes 911. This is not a replacement for a phone line. Keep your real one for emergencies.
Forwarding stops immediately, so calls and texts to that number stop reaching you. It then sits in quarantine for 30 days before it can go back into circulation, so nobody inherits your spam. Burning is permanent: you cannot get that number back, so move anything you signed up for with it first. Your message history stays in the dashboard, and the number's metadata is deleted 90 days after it is released.
They can have a number. They cannot have yours.
