How to get a second phone number for your business
There are three common ways to put a second number on one phone. Here's how they differ, and when TopReach is the right one.
What are the ways to get a second number on one phone?
- A second SIM or eSIM from your carrier: a real second cellular line, but it's tied to one phone, it's a personal line on your bill, and nothing logs your calls.
- A second-line app: a business number that rings through an app over the internet. Cheap and simple, and many have no dialer or CRM.
- A sales phone app with a CRM, like TopReach: business numbers in an app that also dials your list, texts, logs every call and shares one workspace with your team.
When is a basic second-line app enough?
If you mostly answer calls and make a few a day, a basic second-line app or a VoIP phone plan will cost less than TopReach. You don't need a dialer, call scripts or a pipeline for that.
TopReach makes sense when the second number is your sales line: you call lists, follow up by text, and want every conversation on the contact's record without typing it in later.
Can I keep my personal number private?
Yes. In TopReach, calls and texts go out from your business numbers. Leads never see your personal cell number, and they can call or text your business number back.
Can I use a number in another area code?
Yes. Buy numbers in the area codes you call, at $10 a month each, in the US and Canada. With local presence on, TopReach picks the number that matches each lead's area code, or one from their province or state, and uses the same number for every follow-up.
