Need to cancel your Burner subscription? Many people do this when they no longer need a secondary phone number or want to stop the monthly charge. Burner makes the process clear once you know where you originally signed up.
Most subscriptions are handled through Apple or Google Play. A smaller number come from the Burner website. This guide shows you the exact steps for each method so you can stop auto-renewals quickly and avoid future charges.
You’ll also learn what happens to your numbers after you cancel and how to get help if something goes wrong.
Quick Answer
If you subscribed on iPhone, cancel through Apple Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions. On Android, cancel in the Google Play Store under Payments & subscriptions. For website purchases, log into app.burnerapp.com with your main phone number and use the cancellation link in the Subscription Details section. Access continues until the end of the current paid period.
How to Cancel Burner Subscription
How to Cancel Burner Subscription on iPhone or iPad
Burner cannot cancel Apple subscriptions for you. You must do it in your Apple account.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name at the top.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find and select Burner.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm the cancellation.
You can also manage it by going to apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions on a computer and signing in with your Apple ID. Your subscription stays active until the end of the current billing period.
How to Cancel Burner Subscription on Android
Android subscriptions are managed through Google Play.
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap your profile picture in the top right.
- Select Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
- Tap the Burner subscription.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Follow the prompts and confirm.
You can also go directly to play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions on a browser. Cancel at least a day before the renewal date to avoid the next charge.
How to Cancel if You Subscribed on the Burner Website
If you paid directly on the Burner website (not through the app stores), cancel there.
- Go to app.burnerapp.com.
- Log in using your main cell phone number.
- Look in the Subscription Details section (usually near the middle of the page).
- Click the cancellation link.
- Follow the prompts to confirm.
If you see a “Choose Your Number” screen instead of a cancel option, your subscription is almost certainly managed by Apple or Google. Go back and use the platform steps above.
What Happens After You Cancel
Your Burner subscription remains active until the end of the billing period you already paid for. During that time you can still use your numbers for calls and texts.
After the period ends:
- Auto-renewals stop.
- You will not be charged again.
- Access to paid features ends.
You may need to “burn” (permanently delete) individual numbers if you no longer want them. Canceling the subscription does not automatically delete your account or all numbers.
Burner does not typically issue refunds for unused time. Cancel early to avoid the next full charge.
Common Problems and How to Fix Them
I can’t find Burner in my Apple or Google subscriptions.
Make sure you’re logged into the same Apple ID or Google account used for the original purchase. Check family sharing accounts if applicable. Search your email for the original receipt to confirm the platform.
The website shows “Choose Your Number” when I try to cancel.
This means the subscription is billed through Apple or Google Play. Cancel on those platforms instead of the Burner website.
I still got charged after canceling.
Check the exact renewal date. Charges for the current period are normal. If a new charge appears after the end date, contact Burner support with a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation and the charge details.
I don’t know where I subscribed.
Open the Burner app, tap Help, and contact support. Provide your main cell phone number. They can tell you which platform manages your subscription.
I want a refund.
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google for app store purchases. Request them through those platforms. For website purchases, contact Burner support with your receipt.
Helpful Tips Before You Cancel
- Note the renewal date so you know when access ends.
- Screenshot the confirmation page or email.
- Decide what to do with existing numbers (keep until the period ends or burn them).
- If you only need occasional use, check whether a shorter plan or pay-as-you-go option still meets your needs.
- Update the Burner app before starting so menus appear correctly.
You can always resubscribe later if your needs change.
Contacting Burner Support
If the steps above don’t work:
- In the Burner app, tap the Help button.
- Or visit support.burnerapp.com and use the chat icon.
- Provide your main cell phone number and a screenshot of any error or receipt (especially the full Google Play receipt with GPA, date, items, price, and renewal date).
Support can guide you to the correct cancellation path.
