It's primary use would be for ONS and the like. Nothing nefarious.
With the personal data, now that I think about it, a couple of smashes (through my real profiles) ended up on my real Facebook feeds as "people you may know".
Yeah, I can see going the prepay route better.

I just use a Google Voice number created under a random Google account.
Then I use the Hangouts app for iOS or Android. Calls/texts over data. Real easy.
All free.

I just set up Google Voice, and have myself a phantom phone number. Step 1 complete.
I can't figure out how (or why) when I send a text to that number, it goes to the gmail account.
I'd like to set it up so that it goes to text.
I'm not very tech-savvy, any tips on how to do this would be appreciated.

I have used Burner before for certain things. As far as app design and function goes its great. I don't fully trust them on being secure but they do say they delete all data when you 'burn' the number.
For low level stuff like texting a girl it should be fine. For something more heavy it might not be the best.

I think this has been covered before in a previous thread
For myself i go with a pay as you go sim.
I put a cheap texting only plan on it and a bit extra for short calls.
Normally i keep the the number for a month or so then just flush the sim down the toilet.
I use Tor to setup the pay as you go account online. I NEVER set it up in the store. I ALWAYS pay in cash at a busy mall on a weekend.
I have a unlocked older iPhone that put the sim in. I use this phone exclusively for gaming girls that i don't want to stick around. Online, day game, night game etc.
If they turn out to be pretty awesome and worth keeping around in a LTR capacity I'll give them my real number saying i changed my number because of a crazy ex.
