2ndNumber gives you a second US phone number on the iPhone you already have. Use it for texting and for verification codes from apps and websites that accept virtual numbers, and keep your personal number private. WHAT YOU GET • A real US number you pick yourself, live in about a minute • Verification codes shown as soon as they arrive, ready to copy in one tap • Texting from your second number, kept apart from your personal messages • Notifications for new texts and codes • Up to 5 numbers in one app with the Plus and Pro plans WHO IT'S FOR • Signing up for apps and websites without handing out your personal number • Selling online, dating, or renting without sharing your own contact details • Freelancers and small businesses who want a separate work number • Travelers who need a US number while abroad GOOD TO KNOW • This version is for texting and receiving codes. Calling is not available yet. • Some apps and websites do not accept virtual numbers. We can't make a service send a code to a number it rejects, so check that the service accepts virtual numbers before you rely on it. • Texting to US numbers is covered by your plan under a fair use policy. Texting numbers outside the US uses credits. • The number you get is a US number. Numbers in other countries may come later. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose a US area code and pick a number you like. 2. Choose a plan to keep it. 3. Start texting and receiving codes right away. PLANS AND BILLING 2ndNumber is a paid subscription, and billing starts when you subscribe. Plans cover 1 line (weekly, monthly or yearly), 3 lines (Plus) or 5 lines (Pro). Prices are shown in the app before you buy and may vary by country. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. • Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple Account settings. • If you move to a new iPhone, use Restore purchases to get your numbers back.
