Handing out your number to new friends and contacts is only natural. But just occasionally, that act of trust goes wrong and you can find yourself on the receiving end of unwanted calls. If you would prefer to keep your personal number under wraps, Hushed can help. This app lets you set up a second phone number for work, dating, and those slightly suspicious Craigslist ads. Right now, you can get lifetime service for $25 at MakeUseOf Deals.

Secure Second Number

Handing out a second phone number to sales reps and Tinder dates makes perfect sense. So, why don't we? Perhaps it's because signing up for a second phone contract is pretty expensive.

In contrast, Hushed gives you a huge bundle of credit to use every year. This means you can send up to 6,000 messages or talk for 1,000 minutes each year without spending an extra dime. You can also set up voicemail on your secure second number, and forward calls to your regular number.

Available on iOS and Android, Hushed uses data or Wi-Fi to avoid service charges. The app is really easy to use, and you can pick your second number from hundreds of area codes across the US and Canada.
