Your Private Phone Number, Your Way
A real ten-digit US or Canadian number for the parts of life that shouldn't ring your real one. Marketplace buyers, first dates, tenants, the side hustle. Real calls, real texts, real pictures, on the phone you already have.
See it on your phone
Pick a number, hand it out, retire it. SideNumber runs alongside your existing line on iOS and Android, same phone, two voices.
Choose the area code you want. Take any available number, no SIM, no signup verification.
Give the number to the buyer, the date, the tenant. Real calls and texts in, on the side line, not your real one.
Mute it, or retire the number when you're done. Your real line never enters the picture.
Stories
Marketplace buyers, garage-sale strangers, the contractor who wanted your number for one job. Give them a disposable second number you can mute or retire the moment they're done.
Want a fresh one tomorrow? Retire the old one and pick another. The buyers who matter call back. The ones who don't never reach you.
Get a number →Different ringtones, different voicemails, the same phone in your pocket. When the shop closes at seven, the side line goes quiet. The line your family calls keeps ringing through.
Print the side number on cards. List it on your storefront. Let it go to voicemail at night without a second thought.
First date, a buyer who got weird, a landlord you'd rather keep at arm's length. Activate Voice Changer before you pick up and your real voice stays off the table.
One tap during a live call. No setup, no software, nothing the other side can hear except a different voice.
Try it →When you can't pick up, callers leave a message on your side line — not your real voicemail. Recordings show up right in SideNumber, separated by number, ready to play back whenever you are.
Let the shop calls go to voicemail at night. Listen to them in the morning with coffee. Your real voicemail stays clean.

Carrier-quality calling, MMS that actually works, and the small details that make a second line feel like a real one, not a workaround stitched together with VoIP.
Real calls on your phone's signal, not patchy VoIP that drops when the Wi-Fi blinks.
Step out of the house and the line keeps working. Cellular data does the rest, anywhere your phone has a connection.
Start with an area code and choose a number that fits your style. Available in most major metropolitan areas.
Use a different number for each purpose, keeping your personal and professional communications separate.
Make and receive unlimited calls with no additional charges.
Texts, photos, voice notes, group threads. Everything you'd send from any modern messaging app.
Shift your pitch, deepen your tone, or mask your voice entirely — one tap during a live call. The other side hears a different voice. Yours stays private.
Missed calls go to your side line's voicemail, not your real one. Recordings land in the app, sorted by number, ready to play back whenever you are.
Use cases
Spin up a number, hand it out. Keep your life private.
Give buyers a number you can drop after pickup. Mute it when you want, retire it when you're done. Your real number never leaves the house.
A number you can retire if a date doesn't work out. Your real line never enters the picture, and never gets reverse-searched on Instagram.
One number for tenants and prospects, separate from the line your family calls. Let it go to voicemail after hours.
Print it on cards, list it on Google. When the shop closes at seven, the line goes to voicemail and stays there until morning.

Reviews
"I sell on eBay every week. The buyer's number used to be my number. Now it's not. That's the whole pitch and that's why I pay for it."
"I went on three dates from one app last month. One found my Instagram from my phone number within an hour. The next two went through SideNumber."
"Four units, four sets of tenants, one number on the lease. Late-night calls wait until morning, and my personal phone stays quiet. That used to be impossible."
"My side business has its own number. It rings my phone but it's not my phone. When I'm off, I'm off, the side line goes to voicemail and I sleep."

FAQ
Yes, a real ten-digit US or Canadian number. People can call and text it from any phone. No app required on their side.
A virtual phone number app gives you an extra phone number that lives in an app instead of on a SIM card. SideNumber gives you a virtual US or Canadian number with its own calls, texts, picture messages and voicemail, on the same phone as your personal number.
Yes. Hand the number out for a sale, a date or a one-off job, then mute the line, or retire the number when you're done and pick a new one. It works like a burner phone number without buying a burner phone.
