What’s included with a Hushed phone number?
This basic plan from Hushed comes with enough data and call time to use for remote workers, online sales, or dating apps. With your $19.99 plan, you’ll get 6,000 text messages or 1,000 phone minutes per year. There are no monthly fees, but you can add more minutes or text credits before the year ends. As long as you make at least one call or send one text every six months, you can retain the same number for life. After 12 months, your license will automatically renew.
You’ll operate all calls, texts, and voicemail from a single app. You can choose from hundreds of area codes across the US or Canada, which may be ideal for remote workers hoping to choose an area code close to their company’s headquarters. Set up a customized voicemail or call forwarding. You can use Wi-Fi or data for calls to avoid service charges on your main phone service.
