best burner cell phone or cell phone plan?
serrano
A lot of dancer offer me their phone number and asking for mines. I have collect many pretty dancer number, but have not able to give my number to them as I only possessing one cell, which I use daily for my business correspondences. I cannot have dancer texting me "come to club" when I am in middle of important business teleconference.
I have no concern an extra phone may appear on my bill, as I handle such finance and wife is oblivious about such matter anyway. Or it is better use a pay-as-you go throwaway phone? I preferring Android platform.
Thanking you all graciously!

I'd recommend going to Walmart and checking out their phones. They usually have 3 or 4 companies represented there (AT&T Go, Staight Talk and usually one or two others). You can pick up a cheap android phone for under $50 (maybe even around $30) and check out the plans - I think the cheapest are around $30 a month with decent minutes and texting.
I have paid cash in the past, and if you're extra paranoid like tired traveller - activate it somewhere other than your home computer.
Another alternative people here like is the Google Number so you don't have to carry a 2nd phone.
But for the more cautious, a completely separate phone is a better solution.
If you want to use a separate ph altogether a Tracfone is probably the most cost-effective, it's a prepaid ph but unused minutes carry over instead of one losing them & many have double or triple minutes meaning one gets double or triple the minutes one adds.
Metro pcs is anonymous and cheap.
Also, if you're paranoid, you can:
- turn notifications off so when she texts it doesn't chirp like a frog or whatever
- hide the app or password-protect the app, if your wife might pry
- Google voice: no picture messages (or rather, cumbersome pic support), so it's a non-starter
- TextMe: highly rated but recent update seems to have garnered a rash of poor reviews...
- Sideline: Higher rated than both of the above (at least on the playstore), picture messages, etc. One downside is that unless you're using it monthly, your phone # might get reaped and changed... to prevent that, $2.99/month pro subscription, but that's still better than Line2's $9.99
So, going to drop Sideline on my phone and see how it goes...
Do any of such app permit reveal of your real phone number or real voice mail to someone who is call the app's phone number? I am concern because my voicemail greeting contain my real name and business name stated in own voice (require for business purpose).
This is problem with google voice, yes? She will call your google voice and it will forward to the real number and then she will hear me saying my real name and business affiliation? Then I will be mug or burglar by gang of stripper boyfriends try to steal my everything perhap. Also, I already have a google voice number tied to my real number for thing like amazon and department store card, etc.
Thanking you

you can control the txt and phone convos also you can talk to her over the computer and dont have to worry about her phone number appearing on your phone. also you can choose any number you want and cannot be linked back to you by her!

A year back JS69 talked about having a "burn phone". I assumed you meant one you would just destroy if the wife found out.
But now I see what this burner app is.
Could you set it up so all your cell phone calls and texts come in on a burner number?
Would that make it so no one could just pick up your cell phone and see who you call and get messages from, all password protected, and by this burner company?
Costs?
Can you also access your account and texts via a computer, and can you also use computer and internet routed voice with the phone account?
Looks good. I've never really gone along with the way cell phone stuff has been set up.

Has anybody used an app whether paid or free and was able to send/receive picture messages with no additional requirements or issues by you or your contact's carrier? Also, any known quirks or downside to a particular app you use?
I use Line2 and sent a stripper a pic, but didn't receive hers. Had a friend do the same and I didn't even receive a text.
