# Burner number features

What a NumberBurn number does: a web text inbox, call forwarding, three modes with labels, and a one-tap burn. Receive-only, US numbers only.

Four features, one purpose: a number you hand out, read and throw away. Texts in a web inbox, calls to your real phone, and a burn button.

## The features

- **[Web text inbox](https://numberburn.com/features/text-inbox.md).** Every text and picture message to your number, in one web page. Copy the code and move on.
- **[Call forwarding](https://numberburn.com/features/call-forwarding.md).** Calls to your number ring one confirmed mobile. The caller never sees your real number.
- **[One-tap burn](https://numberburn.com/features/one-tap-burn.md).** One tap ends the number. Forwarding stops, history stays, and the number rests before release.
- **[Modes and labels](https://numberburn.com/features/modes-and-labels.md).** Forward, Texts only or Block per number, plus a label with a 30-day call count.

## Everything in every plan

- Web text inbox for every number
- Picture messages (MMS) up to 5 MB
- Forward, Texts only and Block modes
- Labels with 30-day call counts
- One-tap burn with a confirmation screen
- Email alerts at 80 percent of included minutes and when overage starts

## Good to know

- **Receive-only.** No outbound calls and no outbound texts, ever.
- **US numbers only.** Numbers are US numbers, and the forwarding mobile is one phone per account.
- **No 911.** A NumberBurn number cannot place any call, 911 included.

Some banks and apps refuse virtual numbers. See [pricing](https://numberburn.com/pricing.md).
