현재 태양 아래 모든 것에 기본 전화번호 를 사용하고 있다면 이러한 성가신 텔레마케팅 전화가 (phone number)휴대전화(cell phone) 에 나타나기 시작했음을 알아차렸을 것입니다 . 집에 전화(home phone) 가 있으면 무슨 일이 있어도 마케팅 전화가 쇄도할 것이지만 최근까지 휴대전화(cell phone) 는 이 문제에 거의 면역이 되었습니다.
유감스럽게도 Craigslist 또는 Airbnb(Craigslist or Airbnb) 에 가입 하거나 신용카드(credit card) 를 신청할 때 기본 전화번호(phone number) 를 사용하는 경우 해당 전화번호 가 결국 이러한 텔레마케팅 회사에 전달될 수 있습니다. 다행히도 기본 번호를 공유하고 싶지 않을 때 언제든지 사용할 수 있는 두 번째 전화 번호 를 현재 전화에 추가할 수 있습니다.(phone number)
이 기사에서는 기본적으로 휴대전화에 두 번째 회선을 추가하는 여러 앱에 대해 설명하겠습니다. 가격은 무료에서 월 $10까지 다양합니다. 더 많은 돈을 지출할 의향이 있을수록 더 많은 기능을 사용할 수 있습니다. 유료 옵션은 주로 프리랜서 또는 집에서 소규모 비즈니스를 운영하는 사람들을 위한 것입니다.
두 번째 숫자 앱
기본적으로 Google Hangouts , Sideline , Burner , Skype 및 Line(Skype and Line) 2의 5가지 앱 권장 사항만 있습니다. 비용 측면에서 Google Hangouts 는 무료이고 Sideline 은 월 3달러, Burner 는 5달러, Line 2 는 10달러입니다. 월과 Skype는(month and Skype varies) 번호에 따라 다릅니다.
제 생각에는 먼저 무료로 시작하여 가장 적합한 앱을 찾을 때까지 이동해야 합니다. 어떤 종류의 사업도 운영하지 않는 경우 행아웃(Hangouts) 은 대부분의 사람들에게 충분할 것입니다.

또한 자신의 음성 메일 인사말(voicemail greeting) 과 이름 을 녹음할 수 있습니다 . 문자 메시지와 음성 메일을 이메일로 전달할 수도 있습니다. 통화(Calls) 탭 에서 알 수 없는 발신자가 연결되기 전에 자신의 이름을 말해야 하도록 통화 차단을 설정할 수 있습니다. 또한 Google 보이스(Google Voice) 를 사용하여 통화를 녹음하고, 통화를 전환하고, 회의 통화를 할 수 있습니다.
행아웃(Hangouts) 의 가장 큰 장점은 iOS, Android 및 Chrome 을 포함한 여러 플랫폼에서 작동한다는 것 입니다. https://hangouts.google.com/ 으로 이동 하면 웹에서 문자 메시지를 보내고 음성 및 영상 통화(audio and video calls) 를 할 수 있습니다.
Google 보이스(Google Voice) 의 또 다른 장점 은 행아웃(Hangouts) 을 설치 하지 않고도 전화를 계속 받을 수 있다는 것 입니다.
내가 지금까지 겪었던 유일한 단점은 때때로 특정 웹사이트에서, 특히 이중 인증(factor authentication) 에 사용하기 위해 번호가 허용되지 않는다는 것 입니다. 대부분의 경우 작동하지만 때때로 해당 번호를 사용할(t use) 수 없다는 메시지가 표시 되며 이 경우 실제 번호를 사용해야 합니다. 그러나 이 문제는 행아웃(Hangouts) 에만 국한되지 않고 모든 두 번째 앱(number apps) 에서 발생합니다 .
Sideline 을 제외한 다른 모든 앱과 마찬가지로 행아웃(Hangouts) 은 VOIP 앱(VOIP app) 으로 작동하기 위해 데이터를 사용합니다. 대용량 데이터 요금제 가 없고 (data plan)WiFi 에 연결되어 있지 않은 경우 일부 사용자에게 문제가 발생할 수 있습니다. Sideline 은 (Sideline)이동통신사 네트워크(carrier network) 를 사용하여 전화를 걸고 받는 유일한 앱으로 데이터 사용량을 줄입니다. 그러나 이동 통신사 번호로 전화를 걸 때와 마찬가지로 셀룰러 분을 사용합니다.

한 달에 3달러에 Sideline 은 (Sideline)Google 행아웃(Google Hangouts) 보다 기능이 적은 두 번째 지역 번호를 제공합니다 . 사용자 지정 음성 메일 인사말(custom voicemail greeting) 을 만들 수 있지만 그게 전부입니다. 기본적으로 앱에는 성가신 광고가 있습니다. 광고를 제거하고 번호를 영구적으로 유지하고 WiFi 통화를 활성화하려면 한 달에 3달러를 지출해야 합니다.
그러나 이러한 기능에도 불구하고 여전히 Google 행아웃(Google Hangouts) 과 동등한 기능을 제공(t offer anything) 하지 않습니다 . 예를 들어, 새로운 두 번째 번호로 전화를 받을 때 실제 전화를 건 사람의 번호가 아닌 캘리포니아 Sunnyvale 의 일부 일반 번호가 표시 됩니다. 발신자의 실제 번호를 보려면 Sideline 앱(Sideline app) 을 열어야 합니다.

버너 앱(Burner app) 의 목적은 여기에 언급된 다른 모든 앱과 약간 다릅니다. 우선, 숫자는 정해진(set amount) 시간이 지나면 "소각"되어야 합니다 . 위에서 언급한 5달러의 월 사용료인 프리미엄 회선을 텍스트, 사진 및 통화에 무제한으로 사용할 수 있습니다.
그렇지 않으면 미니 버너(Mini Burner) 와 같은 다양한 버너 중에서 선택할 수 있습니다. 이 버너 는 60개의 텍스트, 사진 없음, 20분 통화 및 14일 동안 자동 굽기를 제공합니다. 여기에서 다양한 유형의 버너를(types of burners here) 모두 확인할 수 있습니다 .
버너를 구입하려면 크레딧을 사용해야 합니다. 앱 내에서 크레딧을 구매할 수 있습니다. 3 크레딧은 $2, $5는 8, $8은 15, $11은 25입니다. 새 번호가 자주 필요한 경우에 유용한 앱입니다. 하나의 번호만 오랫동안 사용하고 싶다면 프리미엄 라인(Premium line) 을 한 달에 $5에 구입하세요.
Burner 의 흥미로운 기능 중 하나 는 다른 앱과의 통합 또는 연결입니다. 예를 들어 Evernote 에 연결하여 (Evernote)SMS 자동 응답(SMS auto-reply) 봇 을 만들 수 있습니다. 말이 안 돼? 비디오(video) 를 확인하십시오 . 그것은 실제로 꽤 멋지고 어떤 사람들에게는 매우 유용할 수 있습니다. 또한 문자 메시지를 Google 스프레드시트 에 기록하거나 음성 메일을 (Google Sheets)Dropbox 에 저장할 수 있습니다 .
앱(app doesn) 에는 기능이 많지 않지만 잘 작동합니다. 생성 한 각 버너 번호 에 대해 고유한 (burner number)음성 메일 인사말(voicemail greeting) 을 설정할 수도 있습니다.

실제 비즈니스의 경우 자동 교환, 수신자 부담 전화 번호, 여러 회선 및 근무 시간 이후 통화 전달 기능이 큰 장점입니다. 분명히, 그것은 훨씬 더 비싸고 집에서 사업을 운영하려고 하지 않는 한 추천하고 싶지 않은 것입니다.
저를 위해 서비스를 사용하여 전문적인 비즈니스 인사말(business greeting) 을 녹음한 다음 자동 교환 기능을 활성화했습니다. 이것은 내 고객이 전화했을 때 인식에 큰 차이를 만들었습니다. 전화를 받고 " 안녕하세요(Hello) ?" 라고 말하는 것보다 훨씬 낫습니다.
Line 2 에는 또한 모든 통화, 음성 메일, 전달 규칙 등을 관리하기 위한 훌륭한 앱과 웹 대시보드가 있습니다. 약간 비싸지만 몇 가지 추가 기능이 필요한 비즈니스를 위한 가장 저렴한 옵션입니다.

이미 Skype 를 사용하고 있다면 (Skype)Skype 번호(Skype Number) 를 받는 것이 좋습니다. Skype 의 멋진 점은 국제(International) 번호도 받을 수 있다는 것 입니다. 위의 거의 모든 다른 앱은 미국 및 캐나다 번호(U.S. and Canada numbers) 에서만 작동합니다 . 미국에서 한 번호의 비용은 한 달에 약 $6입니다.

Setup an Additional Phone Number on an Android Smartphone or iPhone
If уou currentlу use your main phone numbеr for everything under the sun, yоu might have noticed that those annоying telemarketing calls have started appearing on your cell phone. If yоu have a home phone, yoυ will be bombarded with marketing calls nо matter what, but cell phones haνe been mostly immune to this рroblem until recently.
Unfortunately, if you use your main phone number when signing up on Craigslist or Airbnb or when applying for a credit card, the number may eventually find its way to these telemarketing companies. Luckily, you can add a second phone number to your current phone that you can use anytime you don’t want to share your main number.
In this article, I’m going to talk about several apps that basically add a second line to your phone. The prices range from free to close to $10 a month. The more money you’re willing to spend, the more features you’ll get. The paid options are mostly for freelancers or people who run small businesses from home.
Second Number Apps
There are basically only five recommendations I have for apps: Google Hangouts, Sideline, Burner, Skype and Line 2. In terms of cost, Google Hangouts is free, Sideline is $3 a month, Burner is $5 a month, Line 2 is $10 a month and Skype varies depending on the number.
In my opinion, you should start with free first and go from there until you find the app that works best for you. If you’re not running a business of any kind, then Hangouts will probably be more than enough for most people.
Google Voice/Hangouts
![google-hangouts](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PwxVqOzI-sU/Yjc7Z4KG-RI/AAAAAAAAu0o/rQGgjQoyG30MqnhnuWJWqHUWX6BoF2aAQCEwYBhgLKu8DABHVOhxcrfjNL0kpApMdsYcrhR6ibP9yFPgid8tif1XJf590Y_S6I5KKOmSt3l5FGY4xSNyvZdonIyhAy17tqtmX612OyJ04O3L0FlnNcNc0C54eOcYAIPck3FI_krYDif6TAC-yzKxFLqijseiFajZsn5zZb5ikZDEoD98WADPb77Q8xJjOH9YzrQe3CB3fICtjnubLwJfl_5qf96x98EvSIMovAxNksn1luuo0L_dnicCPkBgBf5wN0-gtGg1mLEXM8O7RQ9uZx49lRm7ceAFzzMt_6Cq2w-eXXuubN_kNKoT7juKeFa2-L0zW6YGXdHX_H-uPut3z-kosp-leDwO3y29zBsAOH0aOENAJ-JGeAnRJ7TKv4t2I6l2cfc-lF9kRTKX6aYwsM79CQqNoNt61sae4bD0zEcPXA9px0izvU6TWFBY_0eJV8U_jRs_hFuQGd3mv42XGA9AF9USp0pq4reDvfzEUbUScBDJxV2FH0gc74fjQOnfl4a2FntrUFG4TIrLZdM1piJaWyZ1PgX8v43nHC1Hi9uMmXsWiYFo5NX1MHFRWVJnhLyCAzaIwxq_hg3o27aMIgAeS-fQ5cwlLgvZliezsqr04t33qG12AvR8NX8glkuNvFAGVed6Q_NgxRGKhvGXPVRSd4G8WMJ2g3ZEG/s0/pD6qmvb8k8-q5ixiTfbFmObmUqg.png)
To be clear, you actually create a Google Voice number and then use Hangouts to make calls and send SMS messages. The first thing to do is go to Google Voice and get it connected to your main number. Once you have done that, click on the gear icon at the right and choose Settings.

You should see an access number for your voicemail and next to that, you will see a Get a Google Voice number link.

When you click on the link, you’ll have to choose whether you want a new number or if you want to use your mobile number. Obviously, if you want a second number, choose I want a new number.

On the next screen, you can get a number by area, zip code or city and enter a word or phrase or number if you want something specific. Keep going until you have your new number setup.

When someone calls on your Google Voice number, it will ring in Google Hangouts by default. However, you can go into the settings page on Google Voice and have the calls forwarded to your main number if you like. This way the phone will ring like a normal call.
![forward calls hangouts](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-prwdk7rpDiY/Yjc96VP5kiI/AAAAAAAAr40/cFQSeB3J3jgbqjj1jKPDA0vVs436pArpACEwYBhgLKuoDABHVOhwCXdzMJo7Wy553Aab3IZfOcw-mLQTdmC4hM2tdUzSWs4kfq4JkoKacm2dcmiXk_lz8R0wls265Moyy3wuNaVsnq-WRgFjO_g6jIIA0z4UcLfbp5OSpexjAMt1MPlFLsqd11iAcc2q3-vnx2pbUltMYmtCvDHn8913LB0YagLYUztW6LL99jHPxoNDfJV-VRQw1VU6BzKNgZigC1RnuEe_Z1OKbhBf5_Os7MrqGIJN8PSviPXrUAxQVJPkJV0J9TYOsa0KL5Y5KDXH5I0JOltaY5xDdlJq0pSEUYuMc34yqT9IZHXVxomR9MPmvM0KXWAOVQMvqqCuV0YaEOlvZakcX5oQ_f7-rpZXL2VMObbH-GM4TiplrfKmfFxHplCqA6PaiKPNwpIKRY6yejrQRKB7wrgbFZz6rLPDaNHbT2uVjnNMrdL5H-gWEn3XTzoL1Qn51kZCcfLC5L1qmSoK0uQK7ZDR3eT3dAaqQHSI0aPeKW3GcnREgQYRdljNChhFutZpWHKZvIzbesmhsvphyR609wQ9kmts6IC_BuC_O7TMsj35HzoCsCP9QlXujZLExO7mrwLuBQjCqqtuxizkyA9_9mgzkeDk8xyBwzVKh8C4GTmKyzd-LbNX_CUazBZpV4bWInTWPlDCFoN2RBg/s0/jaoZngydSbmB82NsBLHUuTFio8c.png)
In addition, you can record your own voicemail greeting and your name. You can forward text messages and voicemail to your email also. On the Calls tab, you can setup call screening so that unknown callers will have to speak their name before being connected to you. Google Voice also lets you record calls, switch between calls and do conference calls.
The great thing about Hangouts is that it works on several platforms including iOS, Android, and Chrome. If you go to https://hangouts.google.com/, you can send text messages and make audio and video calls from the web.
Another nice advantage to Google Voice is that you can still receive calls on your phone even without Hangouts being installed.
The only downside that I have run into so far is that sometimes the number is not accepted on certain websites, especially for use in two factor authentication. Most of the time it works, but sometimes you’ll get a message stating you can’t use that number, in which case you’ll have to use your real number. However, this issue isn’t just limited to Hangouts, but occurs will all second number apps.
As with all other apps, except Sideline, Hangouts is a VOIP app, meaning it uses data in order to work. If you don’t have a large data plan and you’re not connected to WiFi, this could cause problems for some users. Sideline is the only app that uses your carrier network to make and receive calls, thereby reducing data usage. However, it uses your cellular minutes just like when you are making calls from your carrier number.
Sideline
![sideline](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZDhRnAzL5e8/YjdrgyfrEUI/AAAAAAAAPyg/Sru227GzgNgBKlg0SzELzPL_N1XcSpTqQCEwYBhgLKvEDABHVOhyU0JW91iiU4HdUNyWpEBsKLTw-6rQ88JJcf3GF8lMk7uR2vURQvSrLKx3HPJ-0bFTSQRDYtFiF0xXMnzMqjkeinj0p4_6R1kO7c7YxY5qQhApZ0W4keaxtQNkUgY3tkRT5-ypFY9VCwWOdWlQjQXqnqqmUhUOHojDHDyRxOdzXgn83uL9cUhyZQAyqoLNXwTuyPI3w7jMVLY_X3G_jMusEXoZHkAYQKZqBgUhPxBxFlPwhH-2DdZDXsVjKZqfavx4quKoI8Dn5vbKBw1fBP2LP-TMONu3R7eOkf34NH9fhPJJ8dtB0a9Nr9Lbun4wsDt2UkPoVWdXK-T5WEyqL8jtJIZzuNmeYS32rgbNJxt2MkVJe0ECNAjwjXY1oCKwCAja-lwWv2MG2WdS5jNcBqq8uNpsf5TXfjQaewupijbNsp_viGHOdMXhU68bv9CYzh3Jg897TZj113lNc9x2yiPm9ZLpb68caNxrHKk6kQvdPMHMRzJzCFsHGdrcsGW8UUQ6Ht3UrJUSKHvNnPH9C-EavJf8LBHVfter4gT7dO0uaIhreDldhomF7fI1DE1HmW7QFlecOcn2MqpmjESsYDZlEqVL_O7bu6l5iDcDGvhsDH0Fhqz9rIOYRCpkWkIV1yugxhdBnKN3LY3H2ntww_uXdkQY/s0/x7qYVU0cubemk15zrXl6jhZyzsQ.png)
For $3 a month, Sideline gives you a second local number with less features than Google Hangouts. You can create a custom voicemail greeting, but that’s about it. By default, the app has ads, which is annoying. In order to remove the ads, keep the number permanently and enable WiFi calling, you have to spend the $3 a month.
But even with those features, it still doesn’t offer anything on par with Google Hangouts. For example, when receiving a call to your new second number, it shows some generic number in Sunnyvale, CA rather than the number of the actual person calling. You have to open the Sideline app to see the actual number of the caller.
![sideline app](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--G90vFXs60g/YjcfiXZtPRI/AAAAAAAAmoc/UJE79GungkYlMx8PSlE-aE3MD8oSOzprACEwYBhgLKuoDABHVOhz5DZ-hz5cO1PBItFuqMt-Vmf8q6HMW3ErIDpIKqiIjAdYSAk3FM5AHzJHByJ7ls2gNEmwAwFU0Ofl7XtDrldpz8Od3Xgk0E1vJj4Vjlb1vj9nKSLQ3vEyxx8CWS_pOrSgwx-a_C6rBAJXLmyBISO27kOBOVup524UvkN6du6YslurFWA0meGuI6sSMlM8REHDlcVzWZTKdf3agRkJ_O4LULbX1kdOJnkXJAEf0WDef8yqF09q5K4ltEDf35w9NWKYrfoc04zjDgLzbORLLq7BinuKlY5z2_dx11uMMcsSCJpg79IOuVfy7HqpZNHwtw-Va1KN9Z8dIISY5TsfDcorwAZtCGvvmsSd-VwceZrJDYuOOZmeJBK4TG7cF42ZjeugI7rq3Y76ZavRUVtMNjWJrhJ00z90G1JFKrEmL4RW9zBZpSo5l8mIGEpwxjqPsRMrt1R9i6ii8F_GVFwEOsU_6J6LE8SL8Jfd_oZtVwv5Tx6mqKpXstTllxBWWZdVkT0QMSpOTfTyALG4uBghJWAlDIGBuZYMmHOdWDrjlbCdOJGjS7nLJumJiVzeMGZNca53dSx2ID3UI8kB3a_Sb0TqkADaww2cVzPB484fwe7MVoGbqjzeV0EV5cznHnTsy3uPhCtQn5zCTz9yRBg/s0/aO7DvkQgqLsFewQQezYndtFNVWY.png)
Texting is free and there doesn’t seem to be any limit. If your cell phone plan allows you to call anyone at any time, then you can use your Sideline number similarly. You’ll also be able to port your number out eventually with the $3 a month plan.

The Burner app’s purpose is slightly different than all the other apps mentioned here. For one thing, the numbers are supposed to “burn” away after a set amount of time. You can get a premium line, which is the $5 monthly fee I mentioned above, with unlimited texts, pictures and minutes.
Otherwise, you can choose from a wide variety of burners, like the Mini Burner, which will give you 60 texts, no pics, 20 minutes calling and auto-burns in 14 days. You can check out all the different types of burners here.
In order to buy the burners, you have to use credits. You can purchase credits inside the app. 3 credits are $2, 8 for $5, 15 for $8 and 25 for $11. This is a great app if you need new numbers often. If you just want a single number for a long period of time, get the Premium line for $5 a month.
One interesting feature of Burner are integrations or connections to other apps. For example, you can connect to Evernote and create a SMS auto-reply bot. Doesn’t make sense? Check out the video. It’s actually pretty cool and could be very useful for some people. In addition, you can log text messages to Google Sheets or save voicemail to Dropbox.
The app doesn’t have very many features, but works well. You can also set your own voicemail greeting for each burner number you create.

Line 2
Next, there is Line 2, which is definitely geared towards freelancers and business owners. I’ve used Line 2 in the past for my local computer repair business and it was definitely worth the price. They have a personal version for $10 a month and a business version for $15 a month. You can see the difference between the two services right on the home page.

For a real business, the auto-attendant, toll-free number, multiple lines and after hours call handing features are a big plus. Obviously, it’s a lot more expensive and not something I would recommend unless you are trying to run a business out of your home, etc.
For me, I used a service to record a professional-sounding business greeting and then enabled the auto-attendant feature. This made a big difference in perception when my clients called in. It was way better than me picking up the phone and saying “Hello?”
Line 2 also has an excellent app and web dashboard for managing all your calls, voicemails, forwarding rules, etc. It’s a bit expensive, but the cheapest option for a business that needs some extra features.
Skype Number
If you already use Skype, you may want to check out getting a Skype Number. The cool thing about Skype is that you can get International numbers also. Pretty much all the other apps above work only with U.S. and Canada numbers. The cost for a number in the US is around $6 a month.

Along with the Skype number, you get all the benefits of using Skype like video calls, group video calls, SMS messaging, screen sharing and file sharing. With Skype, you basically buy credit that you can use for international calls, international SMS, etc.
Overall, it’s really easy to get a second or third or fourth number for your phone without much work. There are a lot of options out there and the best one for you will depend on your usage scenario. The great thing is that you can cancel all of these services whenever you want if you’re not satisfied. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. Enjoy!
