What is Sideline?
Sideline is an application for iOS and Android devices that provides users with a second phone number. This allows people to keep their personal and work calls separate without having to carry two phones.
Some key features of Sideline include:
- Get a real US or Canadian phone number in addition to your existing number
- Call forwarding to send calls from your Sideline number to any phone
- Visual voicemail with transcripts of messages
- Robocall and telemarketer blocking
- Do not disturb mode to temporarily disable notifications
- Online dashboard to control settings
Sideline is beneficial for freelancers, entrepreneurs, real estate agents and anyone who needs to separate business and personal calls. It creates a division so you don't have to give out your personal cell number for work purposes.
The app is available on iOS and Android. Pricing starts at $9.99 per month for basic features, and goes up for add-ons like more phone numbers or minutes for outbound calling from the Sideline number.
