About this app

Please note that 2ndLine is a messaging and dialer app and requires allowed permissions to optimize your experience.

---

Looking to grow your business without having to carry two mobile phones? 2ndLine allows you to add a second phone line to your existing device – no SIM card needed, and complete separation from your first number.

Your 2ndLine number works on your phone, tablet and desktop, making it ideal for small businesses, freelancers and other side hustles. Call and text anyone in the US and Canada using your WiFi connection or existing cellular network. No hidden fees, no fine prints – take your availability to the next level!

For the best experience, 2ndLine needs permission to make and manage phone calls, access call logs, record audio, and access your contacts list. Contact list information will be used to provide caller ID for numbers stored on your device.

Permissions requested:

• Default Calling: This allows 2ndLine permissions to make and receive phone calls, access call logs, record audio, and access your contacts list


• Default SMS Messaging: This allows 2ndLine permissions to make and receive SMS messages from either your phone plan number or your 2ndLine number, and access your messaging contacts list


• Audio Permission: This allows the user to make and receive calls while being able to hear the person on the other end


• Contacts List: This allows 2ndLine access to a users' existing contacts list for seamless communication


• Notifications: This allows 2ndLine to notify a user of incoming calls and messages

How it works:

1. Download the 2ndLine app and open it on your device


2. Sign up with your email address and choose a phone number – it takes less than a minute!


3. Start calling and texting your friends, family, clients – as long as they have a US or Canadian number, it’s always free.


4. Never worry – your existing number stays as is without any changes or service interruptions.

Ratings and reviews

4/1 24 working better with calls, but theres some "instant install"ads causing havoc trying to use it. If these ads get bumped anywhere on the screen, they will install the adware game, and you will have to uninstall it later, being surprised that it created a shortcut on your homescreen every time on the free version. the paid version may not do this. Older review: It works well for texting and voicemail messaging, calls, emojiis, pictures, and other features over Wi-Fi or with a plan.

Update: While there are ads after every phone call, I still prefer this to any other call/text app. After the last update my voicemail isn't saving the messages. I can see that I've been left a voice mail, but when I try to play it - it says an error occured. Can you please help fix this issue? I like this app, it does everything I need it to do. But it takes awhile to open and load, and the ads are awful!!!

I've had the same number since 2013. I use free version and I have to say, it works well. I have people that think this is my actual phone number, lol. The app can be glitchy if you make alot of calls. I just use it for mainly text messages and as a alternate number for certain situations if they need a contact number for whatever reasons. But the new software updates have improved its use over the years. Otherwise, great app whether you get the free version or paid.
