Popular reasons for getting a temp phone number:
ONLINE DATING: It can be dangerous to give your real phone number to a stranger. Give them a temporary phone number instead to protect your privacy. It's not technically a fake number because you can call/text with it.
SELLING STUFF ONLINE: When you use an anonymous phone number for online ads, you can delete the number if you keep getting annoying calls once the item's been sold.
MOVING: Get a temporary phone number in your new area code even before you make the move! Perfect for setting up utilities.
TRAVEL: Snag a temporary phone number in the area code you’ll be visiting to avoid long-distance fees.
FAMILY & FRIENDS: If you have family or friends who live far away, get a temporary phone number in their local area code so it's a local call.
SHOPPING: Stores are always asking for your phone number so they can text you special discounts, add you to loyalty programs, or refund purchases. Give them your fake phone number instead.
ACCOUNT VERIFICATION: While we can’t promise Hushed numbers will be compatible with every third-party service, many will allow Hushed numbers to receive a verification code/shortcode text or call.
AVOIDING SPAM: Use a temporary number for forms, surveys, and sign-ups to protect your real number from spammed. Use a temporary phone number instead, and keep the junk off your regular number.

Ratings and Reviews
Better than most …
This is a VOIP service that allows you to make and receive calls as a second number to your iPhone or other handset. In this respect, it works although call quality can be an issue. SMS is good although basic (160 chars etc). The prime reason it is used is to protect your real number from being used in situations where buying another handset would be prohibitively expensive. I have been using this for over two years, and barring an issue late last year where we could not receive calls, it has been pretty trouble-free. It is also one of the few options available in the U.K. Support is also better than most.
Honesty
Let’s cut to it, there wasn’t a trial which isn’t really a big deal. But my main gripe is that it wouldn’t accept incoming calls after speaking with the customer service through in app chat all I was directed to do was reset my connection settings. I thought I would go a step further and completely treat my phone as to avoid any previously installed items, and this still didn’t work after contacting again I was informed to reset my network connections. On a definite plus note the auto reply sms was a great touch. Had to go to another provider for these services, which worked straight off the bat and cheaper to Devyce.
Unethical Company
I chose Hushed to purchase a lifetime number as I thought I was dealing with a legitimate an ethical company.
The number was to be used on an in case of need basis and was tested to ensure it was working. However, when I needed it, I found without warning and no communication, the number had been terminated despite the “lifetime” licence.
Upon contacting support to politely ask for the line to be reinstated, Support pointed to the small print which states that the number has to be active.
My issue is that this is hidden in the small print, and no warning was given prior to termination. The company is happy to take your money but will use the first opportunity to terminate the agreement. Surely some form of warning would’ve been the ethical and right thing to do prior terminating the line?
Developer Response ,
