2ndLine is a free tool that gives you the ability to have a second phone number from Canada or the United States of America for communication purposes. If you're already familiar with this app, you notice that the developer is the same company that owns TextNow. The reason this release exists has to do with separating your personal phone number from the business one. This solution comes in as an assistant to professionals, entrepreneurs, freelancers, and more, with essential features to help them stay in touch with clients and business partners.
At this moment, the app has a hefty user base, thanks to more than 10 million installs since its launch day. Just like other similar applications available out there, it works through the internet connection. The phone number we obtain inside the interface is perfect for making calls to USA and Canada numbers. As soon as we launch the app, we can pick a number from a wide range with a few taps on the screen.
Besides initiating phone calls to phone numbers from the USA and Canada, we can also send unlimited text messages free of charge. For people interested in making international calls, this app lets the user do this, but he needs money inside the account. You can either add funds or gain money from completing different offers available for you. Once you have enough currency inside your account, you can call various other nations and pay with that money.
The messaging system even lets you send stickers, emojis, and GIFs inside your texts. Besides text, you can send and receive pictures as well. In terms of privacy, the application allows you to create a secret password for your messages. Nobody can read your conversations without providing the correct passcode. In such an app, a feature that protects private discussions is essential. I'm not claiming it's a deal-breaker if you use separate services for making calls and sending text messages that don't have a function for maintaining privacy. I rather have it.
In terms of customization, 2ndLine allows its audience to change the backgrounds, ringtones, and tone for text notifications. Another neat thing about this software is the ability to assign personalized wallpapers and ringtones for individual contacts. Other features include the ability to perform call forwarding, see the caller ID, the transcript for your voicemail, and more.
If you're on the smartphone a lot, please use the Quick Reply function to send a fast reply to any message you receive. It works by displaying a notification on the screen as soon as someone has something to say. Although we can take advantage of this app's features without paying a dime, we replace the regular phone plan with an internet connection. As long as we connect to free Wi-Fi hotspots, we can safely say that we're using this service without sending money. Like TextNow provides the elastic calling feature to ensure the best quality possible, the same thing happens with 2ndLine.
