Best 2nd phone number app besides google voice (they suck)?

Member since 2018 · 7 posts · 0 votes

Hello, I wanted to use a second phone number on my android for business purposes.  And I don't want to hear google voice!  Google voice is not good because they've changed it.  Now when somebody calls my google voice number, my android just shows that number calling.  My phone can't distinguish if that number is from my google voice account or if its a random friend.  I just spent the last hour researching.  I'm over google voice.  Does anybody have a second suggestion?

Google voice WORKS but yes. The only two options are “random number” with no caller ID or showing my own google number. Lame. Id be cool if it popped up the app and showed me something.

    I went with Godaddy phone service.  I get a 2nd phone number for $9.99 a month on 1 phone, which is great for separating business from personal calls.  It allows you to get into the professional sales zone when you see that incoming phone number thru the business number/app they provide.  I've used Godaddy for many years and their products and customer service is unmatched, I highly Recommend.

    @Nate Adams I use voip.ms. You can get a number for $0.99/month, then pay around $0.008 per minute. It's full VOIP capable, so you can set it up on your mobile phone, computer, VOIP phone, etc. but it does take doing the setup yourself. They give you the DID but you have to configure your things. Not hard once you figure it all out, but simple as heck and portable once you understand it all.

    @Nate Adams I use an app called 2nd line. It has it's own ringtone and voicemail. And the caller Id works (which was my pet peeve of Google voice)
