# How Does Burner Appear on Phone Bill

How Burner activity appears on your phone bill depends on how calls are handled.

---

### **Text Messages (SMS)**

Text messages sent through Burner **do not use your carrier’s SMS plan** and will **not appear on your phone bill**.

---

### **Calls (Standard Calling)**

When using standard calling, Burner routes calls through your cell number. Because of this:

- Calls may **use minutes from your carrier plan**
- Calls will appear on your phone bill as **calls to or from your Burner number**
- The number of the person you’re actually speaking with will **not appear on your bill**

---

### **Example**

If your Burner number is **(333) 333-3333**:

- An incoming call from another person will appear as a call **from your Burner number**
- An outgoing call will appear as a call **to your Burner number**

---

### **In-App Calling (VoIP)**

If you enable **In-App Calling (VoIP)**:

- Calls are handled through the app using **data or Wi-Fi**
- Calls will **not appear on your phone bill**

---

### **Sign in with Apple or Google**

If you signed in using **Apple or Google**, calls and texts are handled entirely within the app and will **not appear on your carrier bill**.
