A Private Second Business Line in 47 Countries

A second business line is a dedicated phone number you use only for work, kept entirely separate from your personal number. It lets you publish a contact number on your website, invoices, and marketing without exposing your private line — and gives you a clean way to switch "off" outside business hours.

With PrivacyNumber the second line is a real, long-term local number you keep — not a temporary, burner, or recycled OTP number. You can list it for years, build recognition around it, and hand it out to clients with confidence it won't vanish or get reassigned. Practical benefits for a freelancer or small team:

• Separation: work calls and texts never land on your personal phone.
• Local credibility: a genuine in-country number (e.g. a Paris France mobile or a real US area code) reads as a local business, not an offshore relay.
• Privacy: no ID, name, or address tied to the line, and caller-ID masking on outbound.
• Control: on/off scheduling, voicemail, and AI screening keep after-hours clutter out.

Yes — that is the core of this use case. PrivacyNumber allocates real local lines inside each country's national numbering plan, so you get a genuine in-country presence without renting an office, registering a company, or visiting the country. A French line is a real +33 6/7 mobile or +33 1 landline; a US line carries a real area code like 212 or 415.

This matters because the number is not a +1-800 bridge, a shared gateway, or a VoIP relay — it is the kind of line customers and platforms expect to see in that market. Common setups:

• A solo consultant serving US clients picks a United States mobile to look local on calls and texts.
• An expat freelancer keeps a United Kingdom landline for UK invoices while living abroad — see our expats and travel guide.
• A studio targeting DACH buys a Germany line for local trust.

Choose a mobile line if you need to receive SMS and platform verifications, and a landline if you want a more formal, office-style presence and lower cost. Both are real local numbers in the same panel, and both handle two-way HD calls and voicemail.

If app and account verification by SMS matters to you, pick a mobile line. If you mainly want a published voice number on a website or invoice, a landline is the budget-friendly choice. You can run both — many businesses keep a mobile for SMS and a landline as the public office number. Details on pricing.

AI auto-pickup answers calls in your business's voice when you can't, screens who's calling, and gives you a written summary — so a solo operator never misses a lead and never has to take a cold call live. These are optional monthly add-ons layered on top of any line.

• AI auto-pickup ($4.99/mo): answers inbound calls, takes a message or routes the caller, in 50+ languages.
• AI call screening ($2.99/mo): identifies the caller and intent before you decide to pick up — cuts spam and robocalls.
• AI voicemail summary ($1.99/mo): turns voicemail into a concise text summary you can scan between meetings.
• AI live translator ($4.99/mo): real-time translation on calls in 50+ languages — useful when your local-country line means callers speak a language you don't.

Every line also includes standard voicemail with transcription and translation, plus scheduled messages and on/off scheduling, at no extra cost. Combined, they let a single person sound like a staffed business across multiple time zones.

Pricing starts from a $7.49/mo USD baseline and lands roughly between $3.58/mo (budget-country landline billed yearly) and $16.18/mo (premium top-tier mobile billed monthly), plus a one-time $10 setup on your first invoice. Payment is crypto only — no card, no bank, no identity.

The price is built from clear multipliers:

• Country tier: S premium x1.35, A standard x1.00, B budget x0.85.
• Line type: mobile x1.00, landline x0.75.
• Billing period: monthly x1.00, quarterly x0.90 (save 10%), yearly x0.75 (save 25%).
• Premium memorable-pattern number: x1.60 (optional).

At checkout you can pay with 30+ coins (BTC, XMR, ETH, USDT, USDC, LTC, SOL, TRX, TON, and more); the provider settles everything to Monero on its side, so the only thing observed on-chain is your transaction. Prefer privacy-maximal payment? See pay with Monero or pay with Bitcoin. Full breakdown on pricing; start at checkout. Cancel any time by toggling auto-renew off — no fees, no claw-back.

A PrivacyNumber line works for the vast majority of consumer apps, business platforms, and SMS verifications, but it is not a way around hard identity checks — and no virtual provider can be. Some VoIP-aware fintech apps (for example Venmo and CashApp) and some banks and government portals run identity verification beyond SMS, and those flows may reject any virtual number.

• Web-panel only: there's no iOS/Android app, no eSIM, and no physical SIM. It runs in any browser on any device.
• Carrier rejection happens occasionally: if a service refuses a freshly activated line, support will swap you to a different carrier range free within 7 days.
• Outbound calls are metered: inbound calls are included in the subscription; outbound is billed at per-minute rates on top.

Stating this plainly is the point: the line is built for legitimate business reachability and privacy, not for defeating KYC. For what's allowed, read the acceptable use policy and our refund policy (7-day window for unused service, pro-rated for outages, refunded in the same crypto).
