Congrats @gregcohn - finally had a great use case for it a couple weeks ago and it worked perfectly.

Has this been removed from the US app store? Can't find it, even using the "text me link" feature on website
@gregcohn Hey Greg, I tried signing up but it ads a weird 01 at the beginning of the phone number when I try sending the text message, any hints on how to sign up?
@mondras any chance you're trying to sign up with a non-north-american number? in any case if you would please send details to support@adhoclabs.co, that would be super-helpful.
I love Burner - how does it work in the backend though? do you just have a lot of numbers and you cycle through them
@kar2905 we prototyped on Twilio and now use several providers on the back end that can serve us clean phone numbers and provide other telephony capabilities at carrier scale. Old-school virtual number services used to have to do a lot of work to manage this part of the infrastructure on Asterix, Freeswitch, etc., but telephony is going the way of services like AWS. This is great for us -- we get to spend our time focused on the experience and user-facing features.
Hi -- cofounder here! Thanks for posting @chrismessina; feedback or questions very welcome!
There's also a new Chrome extension hunters might find interesting: http://brnr.me/i62U.
