    I’m applying to several jobs and would prefer not to give out my personal number on every application. Is there a good app that provides a secondary phone number for calls and texts? It needs to be easy to manage and reliable, especially for receiving important calls from recruiters. Any suggestions?

    Dealing with rental property inquiries made me realize how much I needed a separate phone number for tenants. During my search, I came across a helpful discussion at https://ask.metafilter.com/375126/Best-cellphone-app-that-gives-you-a-different-cell-number . People recommended apps like Burner and TextFree, and their explanations made it easy to choose. I went with Burner for its flexibility, and it’s been a game-changer. That thread really made things so much easier for me!

    Thank you so much for sharing this! It’s such a relief to find clear, practical advice that actually works. The suggestions you highlighted were incredibly helpful, and I appreciate how straightforward and actionable the recommendations were. Burner has already made a huge difference in how I manage communications, and I wouldn’t have thought of it without your insight. It’s great to have such reliable information to lean on—truly appreciated!

    Honestly, when you’re applying for jobs abroad, figuring out the best way to communicate without giving out your main number is just one of those small but important details. I ran into the same thing while looking at opportunities in Italy, and while searching around I ended up using here is the link . It wasn’t just about finding vacancies I also picked up a lot of practical tips from people who’d been through the process already. Having a second number made it easier to keep things organized, but pairing it with a platform like that gave me some direction and confidence too.
