3 Things You Should Know About Second Phone Lines
Unless you’re a masochist who enjoys keeping track of two different cell phones, you’ll be happy to know that having a second number has gotten a lot simpler. Thanks to the internet—and a technology called VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)—you can now add a cloud-based local number to your existing phone, cloaking your personal digits. Here are 3 quick facts about the phone lines of the future.
VoIP numbers don’t rely on SIM cards, telephone cables, or even a specific phone to operate—any mobile device will do. What’s essential is an internet connection whether you’re at home or out for the day. To make the most of your second phone line (and the unlimited calls and texts that come with it) you’ll need reliable in-home internet and a good data plan on your cell—or at least the address of a cafe with wifi and free refills.
You probably can’t take pictures or listen to rain sounds with your second phone line. But in most other ways, your second number should function like your first one. With the help of a mobile app, you’ll be able to call or text any other number, check your messages, record a voicemail greeting, manage your contacts and more. The best VoIP providers (like Northwest!) include all these fundamentals, plus advanced features like Visual Voicemail.
The disposable phone number accounts out there? They charge extra for basic features like voicemail—and make it impossible to get in touch if things go wrong. Your VoIP number shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg, but if you want a well-rounded suite of features, a user-friendly experience and reliable service, you should budget around $10—$15 per phone line.
Did we mention that Northwest Phone Service is just $9 a month? You get full-featured local phone line (with hundreds of area codes to choose from) to use within the US, and support is just a phone call away.
