A free burner number you use once and throw away. Receive the SMS, then forget it.
A disposable phone number is made to be used once. You receive the SMS you need, and after that the number is no longer yours. People also call it a burner number, a throwaway number or a one-time phone number.
Short-lived numbers are often called 10 minute numbers. Free numbers here are held for you for 15 minutes, which is long enough for an app to send its code. If the SMS does not come, you can take a fresh number.
A classic burner is a cheap phone with a prepaid SIM. An online burner number does the same job for SMS with no phone and no SIM, and it costs nothing.
Use one for a quick sign-up, a download gate, a free trial or an online listing where you do not want calls later. For anything you will log in to again, use a private number instead.
