2nd Line+ – Free Virtual Second Phone Number

What is 2nd Line+?

2nd Line+ is a free Android app from Text and Call Inc. that lets you create a virtual phone number separate from your primary mobile line. The number works like a regular mobile line for voice calls and text messages, but it lives entirely in the app, so you never need to buy or insert another SIM card.

Main capabilities

• Separate calling and texting – Use the virtual number for personal or business conversations while keeping your real number private.
• Online verification – Receive one‑time passwords (OTPs) and activation codes for services that require a phone number.
• International reach – Choose numbers from several countries and make or receive calls over Wi‑Fi or mobile data.

How it works

After installing the app, you select a country and request a number that is assigned to your account. The app registers the number with a cloud‑based telephony service, which routes inbound calls and SMS to your device through the internet. Outbound calls and messages are sent the same way, using VoIP technology. Because everything is handled online, you can manage the number from any Android device where the app is installed.

Practical uses

1. Privacy for online services – Register on marketplaces, dating apps, or social platforms without exposing your personal number.
2. Business separation – Keep client communications distinct from personal chats by assigning a dedicated line to work‑related contacts.
3. Travel convenience – Use a local virtual number while abroad to avoid roaming charges for SMS verification.

Installation notes

The app is available through standard Android distribution channels. It requires an internet connection for activation and for all subsequent calls and messages. No special permissions beyond network access are needed to operate the core features.

Who might benefit?

Anyone who wants to protect their primary phone number, freelancers handling multiple client contacts, frequent travelers, or users who need a disposable number for short‑term projects will find 2nd Line+ useful.

Frequently asked questions

The app lets you retain the number as long as you continue using the service. Specific retention policies are defined by the provider and can be reviewed in the app settings.
