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.
