Add a virtual second phone number to your Android device for calls and SMS without needing another SIM card.
What is Second Phone Number – 2nd Line?
Second Phone Number – 2nd Line is a free Android app that lets you obtain a virtual phone number and use it for voice calls and text messages directly from your existing device. The app creates a separate line within the same handset, so you can keep personal and professional communications distinct.
Main features
- Virtual numbers from several countries, allowing you to choose a local presence without a physical SIM.
- Calling and texting through the app using the virtual number, with rates displayed before each action.
- Credit‑based usage – you add credits to your balance and spend them on calls or SMS as needed.
- Separate inbox – messages and call logs for the second line are kept apart from your primary phone’s data.
- No extra hardware – everything runs on the same device, eliminating the need for a second phone.
How it works
- Select a virtual number from the list of available countries.
