# ExpressNumber

> ExpressNumber gives you burner US phone numbers. You give one to a site, a store, a dealer or a stranger instead of your own number, calls and texts to it forward to the phone you already carry, and you burn it in one tap when the spam starts. https://www.expressnumber.com

## Company

ExpressNumber is built and operated by Momentum Labs (https://www.mlabs.vc/), the venture studio behind VoiceDrop, 1Lookup, Emailchaser, 1Capture, Prymatica, TeamPredict, Batmail, ExpressNumber and PaidHype. Parent organization: Momentum Labs.

Momentum Labs is the data controller for this service, as stated on https://www.expressnumber.com/privacy. The line type, carrier and risk level on the spam lookup tool come from 1Lookup (https://www.1lookup.io), another product from the same studio.

## What it is

- Real US phone numbers on carrier networks, issued through a licensed carrier, not a shared inbox on a website.
- Calls to a number forward to your own confirmed mobile, so you answer on the phone you already have. Texts land in a web inbox. No app.
- Each number has a name (Car dealer, Insurance quote). When the spam starts, you see which name it came to, so you know who sold you, and you burn that number only.
- Burning is one tap and it is permanent. A burned number sits in quarantine for 30 days before it goes back to the carrier.

Plans:

- Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial: $0 at signup, then the plan renews monthly until cancelled. Cancelling during the trial costs nothing.
- Basic: $9.99 a month, 5 numbers, 100 minutes a month, 5 cents a minute after that up to $50, $1 a month per extra number.
- Pro: $29.99 a month, 100 numbers, 1,000 minutes a month, 5 cents a minute after that up to $100, $0.50 a month per extra number.

## What it cannot do

- Numbers are receive-only. They take calls and texts, and they never make them.
- They cannot reach 911. Keep your real line for emergencies.
- Some banks and services refuse virtual numbers. Keep your real number for those.
- US numbers only today.
