A real US number, private to you
It comes from a licensed carrier and works like any other US line for calls and texts. Nobody else is reading what arrives on it.
Hide My Email, for your phone number
A second phone number, live in about a minute.
A private US number that rings the phone you already carry. No second phone, no second SIM, no app.

Your real number is on too many lists already. Every listing, date, quote and delivery adds one more.
A second phone number used to mean a second phone, a second plan, or an app that wants to replace your dialer. You only wanted the number.
Here, the number is the whole product. Calls to it ring your phone, texts land in your inbox, and when it starts attracting spam you burn it.

What you get with a second number
A real US line for the people you do not want calling your real one.
It rings the phone you already have
No app. Calls forward to your mobile and ring like any other call, and texts land in your inbox, on any device.
Give each number a name
Call one Marketplace and another Car dealer. When the spam starts, you see which name it came to, so you know who sold you, and you burn that one.
Choose what gets through
Every number has three modes: Forward rings your phone, Texts only stops the calls, and Block stops both.

Common questions
More in the full FAQ.
Yes. A real US number from a licensed carrier, not a shared inbox on a website. Calls ring the phone you already carry, and texts land in your ExpressNumber inbox. Nobody else can see what arrives on it.
No app. Calls ring the phone you already have, like any other call, and you read texts and manage your numbers in the browser, on any device.
It is where your calls ring, so it has to be a real mobile that answers. You confirm it once: from that mobile, text START and the 4-digit code we show you to your new number. It is never shown to anyone who calls you, and one account per real mobile keeps the numbers clean for everyone.
You get 7 days free and pay $0 today. After 7 days your plan starts: $9.99 a month for Basic or $29.99 a month for Pro. Cancel before then and you pay nothing.
No. Your numbers are receive-only: they take calls and texts, and they never make them. You answer calls on your own phone, and you cannot reply to a text from the inbox.
