Second Number for Call & Text

What Second Number for Call & Text does

Second Number for Call & Text gives you an additional phone number for calls and text messages, using Wi-Fi or mobile data rather than another handset. It suits people who want to keep a personal number separate from work, online selling, dating, travel, or account sign-ups. You can use the extra number to receive SMS online and communicate without handing out your main number.

Numbers for different situations

The app offers local numbers from more than 20 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France and Mexico. A temporary number can be useful for a short-term conversation or an online listing, while a separate ongoing number can give work or social contacts a clear way to reach you.

• Make and receive calls over Wi-Fi or cellular data.
• Send and receive text messages through the app.
• Keep more than one additional number at the same time.
• Use call blocking, call forwarding, visual voicemail and call recording tools.
• Call mobile and landline numbers in more than 200 countries using in-app credits.

Privacy and practical limits

A second number can reduce unwanted exposure when you are posting an advert, registering with a service, or travelling. It also provides a way to keep personal and professional conversations apart. Temporary numbers are not a replacement for every account or verification service, however; some websites may reject virtual numbers or require a number they can recognise.
