Numero lets you add second or multiple numbers without switching or removing your SIM. Choose numbers from many countries, including the USA. Virtual numbers work through the cloud anywhere in the world. Choose a number to: • Receive SMS and calls only. • Receive and send SMS and make calls. Add credit later if you need outgoing SMS or calling. WhatsApp: Not every Numero number supports WhatsApp. If you need WhatsApp, choose a number from the dedicated WhatsApp-compatible section in the app. Free US Number: Collect coins in the Free Coins Center to get a US number free for one month.
