I’ve been using Hushed: US Second Phone Number for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that gives you a temporary phone number you can use for all sorts of stuff – online dating, travel, selling things online, whatever. Keeps your real number private, which is pretty handy.
The way it works is you can pick a number from over 300 area codes, then start making calls and sending texts right away. No one will know it’s not your main number. There’s also options to get local numbers or toll-free numbers. Pretty cool if you need a second line for work or personal use.
Look, if you’re into protecting your privacy or just want a spare number for random stuff, you’ll probably like Hushed. It’s not perfect – the interface can be a bit clunky and the rates for international calls are kind of high. But overall it does the job and is worth checking out.
