Whats the Difference Between Standard Calling & VoIP Calling?

VoIP calling uses an internet connection (Wi‑Fi or mobile data) to place and receive calls directly inside the Burner app.

Standard calling uses your phone’s regular cellular voice service and routes the call through your Burner number while keeping your personal number private.
