Start texting and calling on your new private line. Built for people looking for privacy, a local number, and separation between personal and public life. No carrier plan needed. Ring4 can be used like a prepaid phone card. Text, picture message, and call anywhere in the US, Canada, and UK. Avoid using your Cell phone minutes like other apps. Call and text over Wi-Fi to eliminate roaming charges when travelling. Connect a local eSIM and use your Ring4 number anywhere you have cellular data service. Add private video calling, call recording, voicemail, local area codes, and much more – MULTIPLE PHONE LINES: Set up a number for personal, business, and online selling. CALL RECORDING: Start recording on any line and RARE AREA CODES: San Francisco (415), New York (212), Los Angeles (310). What’s the best way to look like a local? Get a rare number that others can’t. Shhhh… VIDEO CALLS: Start video calls when selling online with a one-time link. Great for online selling or sharing a real estate property tour. PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY: Do you trust loyalty programs to not sell your number? You shouldn’t. Receive verification codes (2FA) and promotional messages for your favorite brands with a private second line. BLOCK CALLS: If you're done with your temporary line, or someone is bothering you, simply delete it and grab a new one. No trip to the store, questions from the salesperson, one click, and you're done. VOICEMAIL: Stay professional with a greeting that matches your private second line's purpose. SAVE CELL MINUTES & DATA: Ring4 does *NOT* use your cell phone minutes for calling, like some other apps. Connect to WiFi to make VoIP calls wherever you are. – WHY USE a 2nd PRIVATE PHONE NUMBER? -- ONLINE DATING: Use a second number to text and call without sharing your real cell phone. RENTING: Message tenants, renters, and landlords. Share a room for rent online using a private number, keeping your personal cell phone number confidential. SELLING ONLINE: Keep your cell phone off public listings by texting buyers from a second line you can silence or replace. MARKETPLACE LISTING: Never give your real cell phone number out online. LOYALTY PROGRAMS: Stop loyalty programs from selling your personal cell phone. Signup for online services with your new 2nd line. BUSINESS: Rule #1 of starting a business. Never give out your personal cell phone, and definitely do not put it on your website. This can never be undone, get a 2nd number today for your new idea, your new business before it’s too late. – NO CONTRACTS: Start with a new US or UK temporary number for 7-days. Add a monthly subscription to keep the number forever. (fair use limits apply) FREE INBOUND TEXTS & CALLING: Inbound calls and texts are always free. TRANSPARENT PRICING: Subscriptions unlock 3,000 text messages and calls a month. (counted daily) • 5 credits to start calling in the US or internationally • 5 credits to start a video meeting • 1 credit to send a text message – IMPORTANT: Emergency calls and texts to 911 are not supported. Texts to/from short codes might not always be supported. The trial may include free usage and is intended for one-time use. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS: Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled 24 hours in advance and may be managed by the user in Account Settings after purchase.

Bad customer service and doesn’t work (updated)

I tried to use the app in Austria. I paid for the $9.99 unlimited plan, and expected to to be able to make/receive calls/texts. I received calls, but couldn’t call out AT ALL!!!I tried to contact Ring4 customer support via email. I received one response asking me some questions, but then no responses after that to my repeated follow-up requests for help. I also tried to contact Ring4 through the app. No response. I was very frustrated and had to request a refund from Apple. I am very disappointed with Ring4’s service. The app/service makes a lot of promises but doesn’t deliver. Don’t be fooled like I was.Updated:After a few days, the representative responded. He was very responsive and willing to solve the problems. I can finally use the number and am happy with their service afterwards. I can see that they take customers’ comments seriously, that’s whyI decided to change my rating.

I have tried countless second line apps for international calling and texting and by far this has the best service package ($10/number w/unlimited calling and texting for at least English speaking countries). As other have mentioned, support is crap. I sent them an email, they responded 3 days later to tell them they were working on the bug. It took 3 months for them to fix it 😒. I understand bugs take time, but a time frame would have been great too, or at least an update on progress. That being said, running into an issue where I am not getting any notifications from the app and am not expecting a fix anytime before fall. Otherwise, it does what I need it to do.

I have been looking for solution like Ring4 for a long time.When travelling for work in foreign countries, I usually buy local SIM cards to have mobile internet without having to pay the expensive roaming fees that US operators normally charge.But I wanted to still be able to use a local US phone number, on which I could be reached and that I could call from, even if I changed my SIM card.I'm happy to have finally found the solution for me and my wife with Ring4.Thanks guys for your great product!

After test driving several similar apps...by far Ring4 is the best. The plan is solid and at 9.99 a month in the US - its the best price point. Reception and voice quality are superb. Its just like having a second sim accept of course you dont have a data plan. Im sure they are trying to figure that it as I type this ... lastly - customer service is Johnny-on-the-spot! They answer your most basic questions immediately.
