  • Who is ExpressNumber the right second number app for?

    Our pick

Basic is $9.99 a month for 5 numbers and Pro is $29.99 for 100, with the first 7 days free and no app to install. It only receives calls and texts, so it cannot replace a line you call out from.

  • Is Google Voice a good free second phone number?

    Yes, if you want one US number you call and text out from: Google Voice costs $0 for personal use, with unlimited domestic calls and texts.

  • Is Burner worth $7.99 a month for a second number?

    Burner is worth it if you want one private line with unlimited calls and texts that you can delete or switch whenever you like. Standard is $7.99 a month, or $47.99 billed yearly. Premium is $12.99 and adds video messaging, voicemail transcription and a VPN.

  • Can TextNow give you a free second number?

    Yes. The free plan includes a free local number paid for by ads, and you can use it over Wi-Fi with no SIM. Plus is $18.99 a month and removes the ads.

  • Is Quo a good second phone number app for a small business?

    Yes, if the number is for customers and you want team features on it. Starter is $19 per user a month, or $15 billed annually, with one local or toll-free number per user and US and Canada calling and texting. It runs on top of your existing phone, and your personal number stays private.

  • How much does Sideline cost for a second line?

    In the App Store, Sideline is $14.49 a month or $129.99 a year for a second number that calls and texts. Its listing shows 4.4 out of 5 from 15K ratings.

  • Is MySudo a second phone number app or a privacy app?

    Both: it bundles phone numbers with email, a browser and storage into separate identities. SudoGo is $1.99 a month for one number with 30 minutes and 100 messages, SudoPro is $4.99 for 3 numbers, and SudoMax is $14.99 for 9 with unlimited minutes and messages. The free plan has no phone number.

  • Is 2ndLine a free second number on Android?

    Yes: texting and calling to US and Canadian numbers is free, paid for by banner ads. The free version recycles your number after a period of inactivity, and Premium stops that. Its FAQ lists Android only.

These are 5 second numbers on one phone, from $9.99 a month.

  • Calls and texts still reach the phone you already have.
