Still, I see no differences with a second number/burner phone. For e-mails, a strategy I used and that worked (at a time I had a domain with its own mail server) is to give a "non-existing" e-mail, like specificsite@mydomain.com, the mail server was set to have a "catch-all" account, so specificsite@mydomain.com would arrive (together with messages to anything@mydomain.com, etc.) to this catch-all inbox, while identifying by the address used the "source". With telephone numbers, a possibility would be to fake a PBX with internal numbers (no idea if it is feasible) i.e. if the relay main number is 123456789, have it working with added "internal" numbers, such as 123456789101, 123456789102, etc. |

That's because that's essentially what this is :)
And yes, that's how Relay for email works (although instead of using mydomain.com, you use mozmail.com, so your different email masks can't be linked together).
We'd definitely like to support a similar pattern for phones, but we still have to figure out a way to do that. Using extensions is one thing we'll be looking at (was also suggested at [1]), but a challenge there is that many services have rather strict validation rules on phone numbers that will disallow that. But it might still be worth it, so stay tuned!
