Choose a virtual line, make calls, send and receive supported texts, or request eligible SMS verification and OTP codes over Wi-Fi or mobile data—all from one account. A SECOND PHONE NUMBER FOR EVERY PART OF LIFE Keep your primary number private and organize communication with less clutter. • Add a virtual line for work, customers, or personal projects. • Keep professional calls and messages separate from personal conversations. • Use eligible temporary numbers for one-time verification requests. • Manage up to three independent renewable lines from one account.

MESSAGING MADE SIMPLE Keep conversations organized by line in a familiar inbox. • Send supported messages and receive replies with your selected number. • Keep work and personal conversations in separate threads. • Review delivery status and message-credit history.
