Second Texting Number
Second Texting Number assigns an available additional number for supported US texts, picture messages and group conversations.
Consider for separating casual contacts from a primary number
A second number can reduce how often the main number is given out.
Keep in mind: It does not support 911; verification codes are explicitly incompatible with some services, and unlimited texting is described as a subscription benefit rather than a universal free allowance.
