Question for clients: using a second phone?

[Redbook]

I am wondering: when exchanging numbers with a provider, do you use your regular phone number? Or do you use a secondary or burner phone, or a Google Voice number or something? For a while I was using a secondary phone with an eSIM, but now the provider that I see regularly and I have exchanged our real numbers for ease of communication.  But for the occasional appointment with new or different providers, I’m wondering what to do. Has anyone had bad experiences or privacy problems by sharing their cell?

I would never use my regular phone number because there's no need to when things like Google Voice and other free phone apps exist. Even getting a burner phone would only cost like $30

I use the Burner App on my iPhone, it’s much discussed here and there on the forum. I’ve also moved a handful to my regular cell phone. Here’s a thread that you might find answers some of your questions:

Sound choice, once a steady regular.

Yep, same camp!

I always use a burner number for the initial contact. If they become a regular, then I’ll share my real number. I don’t see a reason to give my personal number to every provider I try once or twice. For the same reason, I don’t host at my place the first time. It’s either an incall or a hotel.
