About this app

CALL AND TEXT ON A TEMPORARY PHONE NUMBER

Hushed gives you a temporary phone number that’s perfect for online dating, travel, shopping, moving, selling stuff, or just protecting your privacy by not giving out your real phone number.

Choose from phone numbers in 300+ area codes, and start calling and texting immediately. No one will know you’re calling from a Hushed number.

More than 25 million people have downloaded Hushed, making more than 450 million phone calls and sending more than 1 billion texts.

Why everyone loves Hushed:

ANONYMOUS CALLS: Make phone calls that aren’t connected to your real phone number.

PRIVATE TEXTS: Send and receive private text messages that are fully separate from your real phone number.

SECOND PHONE NUMBER: Get as many phone numbers as you want! Hushed is perfect for separating different areas of your life.

300+ AREA CODES: Pick a phone number with a Canada area code, United States area code, or United Kingdom area code – even if you’re halfway across the world!

CALLER ID PRIVACY: Caller ID will show the Hushed phone number, but never show your name.

FREE VOICEMAIL: Every Hushed virtual number includes premium phone features, like free voicemail, free call forwarding, free call routing, and free auto-reply texts.

VoIP TECHNOLOGY: Hushed calls and texts run over the internet with VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology, so you can make calls all over the world without long distance charges.

NO SIM CARD NEEDED: Your Hushed phone numbers are stored securely in the app, so you never need to swap SIM cards or mess with new SIMs.

NO CONTRACTS: Hushed keeps things flexible, and you can cancel anytime!

TEMPORARY PHONE NUMBER: Delete your untraceable phone number easily. Hushed is great for short-term or long-term use.

Popular reasons for getting a temp phone number:

ONLINE DATING: It can be dangerous to give your real phone number to a stranger. Give them a temporary phone number instead to protect your privacy. It's not technically a fake number because you can call/text with it.

SELLING STUFF ONLINE: When you use an anonymous phone number for online ads, you can delete the number if you keep getting annoying calls once the item's been sold.

MOVING: Get a temporary phone number in your new area code even before you make the move! Perfect for setting up utilities.

TRAVEL: Snag a temporary phone number in the area code you’ll be visiting to avoid long-distance fees.

FAMILY & FRIENDS: If you have family or friends who live far away, get a temporary phone number in their local area code so it's a local call.

SHOPPING: Stores are always asking for your phone number so they can text you special discounts, add you to loyalty programs, or refund purchases. Give them your fake phone number instead.

ACCOUNT VERIFICATION: While we can’t promise Hushed numbers will be compatible with every third-party service, many will allow Hushed numbers to receive a verification code/shortcode text or call.

AVOIDING SPAM: Use a temporary number for forms, surveys, and sign-ups to protect your real number from spam. Use a temporary phone number instead, and keep the junk off your regular number.

Ready for a temporary phone number?

FLEXIBLE TEMPORARY PHONE NUMBER PLANS: Choose from 1 & 3 line subscriptions with U.S., Canada, or U.K. numbers. Enjoy unlimited calls and texts with a 20% discount on annual plans.

CONVENIENT BILLING: Subscriptions renew automatically unless they are deactivated 24 hours before the cycle ends. Modify or cancel your temporary phone line subscription in your Google Play settings.

KEEP IN MIND: Hushed is not suited for 911 services, so you’ll need to use your regular phone number for that.

BIG RED FLAG WARNING: CALLS DISCONNECT IMMEDIATELY. APP DOESN'T WORK. If I could give it no stars I would. The APP never worked at all, after paying for a one-month membership. There are plenty of others that are much more dependable. Look elsewhere. The support team will haggle with you to refund your money. Simply not a good App and poor customer support

Hushed is a very solid app I've been using on and off for a couple of years. it's great at what it does, but is lacking a lot of the newer messaging features like reacting to messages or sending and receiving high quality pictures and videos like other messaging apps. It would be great if there was a feature to bulk export contacts to my phone for other apps to access.

Hey there, thanks for the great review! Unfortunately since Hushed uses traditional SMS we're limited by existing telecom rules. The moment they become available we will be on it though! Thanks for the feedback, it will help us prioritize when that time comes. --Mike

The app is pretty good and easy to use but I've been having issues with the other person not hearing me after some time. For example, if the call lasts more than 30 minutes they suddenly can't hear me anymore (I can hear them fine). Then I call back and it's good for a little but happens again...they suddenly can't hear me. It's not a huge problem but still annoying.
