Second phone number questions

Can I have a personal and business number on the same phone?
Yes. Your personal number stays on your carrier plan. Numberline adds a business number that rings the same iPhone or Android phone. You use the Numberline app for business calls and texts.
Do I need another SIM card or a different mobile carrier?
No. Your phone and carrier stay the same. Business calls are forwarded to your mobile. You place business calls and texts from the Numberline app.
Which number will customers see when I call them?
Calls you place from the Numberline app show your business number. Calls from your phone’s regular dialer show your personal number.
How does business voicemail work?
Numberline provides separate business voicemail with your business greeting. Each message is emailed to you with the recording, a transcript, and an AI summary. Unanswered business calls go there, including when your phone is off or you decline the call.
Can someone else answer calls to my business number?
Yes. Forward calls to a teammate’s mobile as well as your own. You can also give people their own extensions. Users are unlimited, with no per-user fees.
Can I keep an existing business number?
Yes, if it is eligible. Porting is free and we handle it. Your current service keeps working until the move completes. You can also start on a new number and keep both. See the porting guide.
