I would stay away from all services requiring a phone number, because this system is already broken & it won't come back. There are also luckily plenty of alternatives to Instant Messengers, which require phone numbers, like Signal.
For example, you say "burner number", so you might hail from the USA or some other country with similar laws.
If you are in the EU, you are screwed.
There are no burner numbers.
The only way to get a "burner" number is to get someone else to register the number. However, even then you're screwed, because the number will deactivate once you stop wasting money on that phone number. So, once you pay cash into the number, they already can track who's the actual user of the phone number now.
Or if you let someone else cash in, they can ask at least two people to expose you. First, the number seller, second the one who cashed in.
Therefore, numbers in the EU for example are already entirely broken & unfixable, because no government will make them less controllable & more free, ever.
Which is why using a burner number is not an international option, if you don't want to exclude a big part of an entire continent.
