They help you generate a second phone number without needing another smartphone if your device supports a single SIM. I have listed some of the best second phone number apps you can use in this article! Scroll down.

1. Burner – Editor’s choice

Burner is among the best apps for acquiring second phone number services. As the name suggests, it offers a burner phone number, which can be wiped off (taken out of service) after use. Hence, this app can be used to call, text, and share MMS for professional uses like business calls and personal uses like dating or selling things! However, it uses your carrier plan to create a new number. And when you make a call, the receiver will see your Burner number instead. The app developers have included sync options with many services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and Slack, to access your voicemails, call history, and messages. Burner lets you create more than one phone number, which can be deleted anytime you like. However, it’s only available in the US and doesn’t offer a free trial like many on this list. Price: Free (Subscription starts at $4.99 per month)

2. Phoner – A complete package

Phoner takes the concept of the second phone number to another level. For starters, it gives you a private phone number to call, text, or register for various everyday needs like e-commerce, dating, sales, Twitter, Craigslist, etc.   You get multiple phone numbers to play around with, burn and dispose of these numbers anytime. Moreover, you are privy to cheaper texting and voice call rates, including international rates and free texting between Phoner to Phoner.    Phoner also doubles as a caller ID app, so you can look up anonymous callers and prevent spoof callers. Moreover, it also integrates a call recorder, fax, scanner, and call forwarding.    On top of it all, the app supports over 40+ countries’ international phone numbers, including the US, UK, Canada, France, Australia, Spain, and more.    Price: Free (Subscription starts at $4.95/month)
