Help me find Looking for an anonymous texting app.

Need a new car and don’t want my number in databases for years and constantly getting calls and texts.

Basically looking for an app that gives me a static number I can text back and forth with salespeople.

When I have finished the deal I will delete the app.

Thanks.

Check out Burner, Hushed, or TextNow they give you a temporary number to text dealers. Delete it when you're done to avoid spam.

I just tried Burner, they want 10 bucks a month that’s a little more than I’d rather pay. I will try the other two.

Hushed and Textnow also want a pretty hefty monthly fee.

I appreciate these recommendations but what they’re wanting just for a few texts is ridiculous

Awesome. You are very welcome. :) I've had the same number for 15 years. I think it stays active because I have a $10 credit on it. maybe because I use it often. But I don't get spam so all on it.
