Forwarding stops at once. The number cannot be un-burned.
What burning does
- Forwarding stops at once. Nobody who calls the number reaches your phone.
- Texts already received stay visible in your inbox until they are 30 days old, then they are deleted. That happens for every text, burned number or not.
- The number goes into quarantine for 30 days. After that it returns to the carrier pool and can be given to someone else.
- After a number is released, its record is kept for 90 days and then deleted.
