In their own words
Phoner
Phoner adds temporary or ongoing second phone numbers to an existing mobile device, allowing calls and texts without sharing a personal number. It supports domestic and international calling, private texts, photos and videos, including international messages. Users can choose customizable area and country codes, and the service advertises unlimited temporary numbers. Call forwarding, routing and recording are included, with recordings stored on a mobile device or computer. A web platform allows texting from a computer, alongside Android and iOS access. The maker highlights startups, small businesses, education, logistics, real estate and delivery services as business uses. A limited free account supports calling and texting, but restricts the number of contacts and texts. A separate three-day trial is advertised for a more permanent number. Plans include $9.99 a month for Alternate Number Monthly or Second Phone Number Monthly, plus one-time credit packs from 2.99 USD. Emergency calling is not supported.
Sip:phone
Sip:phone extends Sipwise Class 5 Softswitch and CPBX services to Android and iOS as a mobile extension of an existing business phone system. It is intended as a white-label client for operators using Sipwise NGCP, who can customize its appearance and publish it under their own name in the Apple and Google app stores. Subscribers are managed on Sipwise C5 through interfaces such as its web interface or REST API; users can sign in with a username and password or scan a server-generated QR code. Calling includes audio and video, hold, two simultaneous calls, three-way conferences and blind or attended transfers. The app synchronizes phone contacts with Sipwise C5 subscribers and can show presence for favorite contacts. Administrators can configure whether a desk phone or mobile app rings first, or have either ring alone. Sip:phone requires an existing Sipwise server account and is not intended to support emergency calls. The App Store download is free, but commercial use requires a Sip:Phone App license; pricing is available from Sipwise Sales.
