Features
Everything a phone number should do
Real local and mobile numbers, with the tools of a modern phone app around them.
Calls to any number
Dial from a keypad with the country picked from its flag. Mute, speaker and in-call tones. Answer incoming calls, decline them, or decline with a text reply.
SMS, MMS and voice notes
Message any SMS- or MMS-capable number. Send photos and media, record voice notes, and see when each message was sent and delivered.
Voicemail and call forwarding
Switch voicemail on per number, with business hours, and forward calls when you cannot answer. Play voicemails back from your recents.
Call recording
Record calls on any number with recording switched on, and listen again whenever you need to.
Video calls
Video calls with other Second Phone users, straight from a contact's profile.
PIN and biometric lock
Lock the app with a 4-digit PIN or biometrics, and keep a private set of contacts inside it, separate from your phone's address book.

Your numbers, your rules
Stay in control of every number
Each number has its own settings, so a work line and a holiday line can behave differently.

- Renew an expired number, or pick a new one if it has gone
- Delete a number you no longer need
Some countries require an address before a number goes live. You have 7 days to add it in the app.

How-to guides
How to use Second Phone, step by step
Get your first number
Choose a country, a region and a number, then start the subscription that comes with your first (primary) number.
Add another number with coins
Extra numbers are bought with coins for 7 days, 30 days, 90 days or a year, up to 10 numbers on one account.
Record a call
Turn call recording on for a number, then record any part of a call. Recordings are saved under Recents.
Set up voicemail and business hours
Send calls to voicemail when you do not want to be disturbed, or only take calls during the hours you choose.
Forward your calls to another phone
Send every call to one of your numbers on to any other phone number, and switch it off when you want the app to ring again.
Switch the number you are using
Each of your numbers has its own calls and conversations. The number switcher at the top of a tab chooses which one you are working with.

Why people get a second number
Privacy, work, travel, selling online: plain-English articles on when a second phone number helps and how to use one well.
Why you need a second phone number (and how to get one without a second phone)
A second phone number keeps your personal number private, separates work from life, and gives you a local number in another country, all on the phone you already own.
How a second phone number protects your privacy
Your mobile number links your accounts, your identity and your location. A second number for everything public keeps the real one out of data breaches, spam lists and strangers' hands.
A second phone number for online dating: stay reachable, stay safe
Moving off the dating app to texts and calls is the normal next step. A second number lets you do it without giving a stranger the number tied to your bank, your work and your home.
