Some apps are designed to be straightforward and excel at one thing. Text Free: The second Call Number fits that mold. It gives users a second phone number without any extra fluff. Whether someone wants a line for work, side projects, or something temporary, the app keeps things simple and gets the job done. It doesn't aim to surprise or impress—it just works.

The design is clean and easy to follow. Nothing feels hidden or hard to reach. Setting it up is quick: open the app, pick a number, and it's ready. There's no complicated signup process or a long list of preferences to sort through. What helps it stand out is how it sticks to its goal. It's not trying to replace your main number; it's there when you need something extra. That clarity makes it useful.

Messages and calls come through clearly, and notifications are consistent. It acts like a regular line, so there’s no awkward delay or confusion when using it. Whether for online listings, signing up for services, or keeping certain contacts separate, it creates a bit of breathing room without adding noise.

• Free Second Number: Pick a U.S. number for free and use it right away. It doesn’t pull from your main phone account and stays separate from your primary contact list.

• Calling & Texting: Works for both standard texts and voice calls. There's also voicemail support for when calls go unanswered.

• Group Messaging: Allows sending messages to multiple contacts at once, which is helpful for work teams, events, or temporary groups.
• Custom Voicemail: Offers the option to record a custom greeting for the second line. Keeps things organized if you're using it for business or public-facing tasks.
• Call Forwarding: For those who want everything in one place, the app can forward calls from the second number to the primary one.

• Easy to Set Up: The process from download to active number takes just a few minutes. No confusing instructions or hoops to jump through.

• Good Call Quality: Even over Wi-Fi, voice clarity holds up well. Conversations don’t feel delayed or spotty, even with frequent use.

• Privacy-Friendly: Keeps your main number out of situations where you’d rather not share it. No need for burner phones or switching SIMs.

• Minimal Ads: For a free app, it’s surprisingly quiet in terms of ads. They’re there, but they don’t interrupt calls or clog the screen.

• U.S. Numbers Only: Users outside the United States can’t get a local number, which limits its reach for international needs.
• Limited Free Minutes: While texting is unlimited, voice calls are capped unless extra minutes are purchased or earned.
• Works Only with Internet: No connection means no service. This makes it less reliable when offline or in low-signal areas.
