An extra Israeli number, no extra SIM

A second number. Real cellular calls and SMS.

Your second number079-555-0182
Your real number – hidden

An extra number on the phone you already have. Calls to it ring on your phone's regular line, outgoing calls go out through its dialer, and the other side only sees the new number.

  • Rings on your cellular line
  • SMS to any phone in Israel
  • No internet needed to talk

Free trial: 10 minutes of calls or 7 days, whichever comes first, and up to 10 SMS. No payment details needed.

App animation: an incoming call. The screen says 'Incoming call on Work line', 079-555-0182, from 052-555-0177. Answered, the call connects.

A call to your second number rings, and you see which line it came in on.

Real calls

Real calls, not app calls

Most second-number apps route your call over the internet. Ours is a normal cellular call.

  • Rings like any call

    With the line set to ring on your SIM, a call to your second number rings on your cellular line with the normal incoming-call screen, even with the app closed and no internet.

  • Cellular call quality

    The call goes over the cellular network, without the dropouts and lag of an internet call.

  • Goes out through your dialer

    Choose 'Via SIM' and the call goes out through your phone's regular dialer via one of our access numbers. The other side sees your second number, not your real one.

  • Any phone can call and text it

    Mobile or landline, in Israel or abroad: anyone with a phone can call and text the number without installing anything.

App animation: the keypad switches between the Work and Personal lines, and the number the other side will see changes from 079-555-0182 to 053-555-0124.

Pick the line you call from. They see that line's number, not yours.

SMS

Real SMS, from your second number

App animation: an SMS thread on the Work line. Ordinary text messages arrive from 052-555-0177, and the replies go out from the second number.

Real SMS to and from any phone, from your second number.

The number receives ordinary SMS from any phone, in Israel or abroad, and you reply from the app to any Israeli number. The other side gets a normal text from your second number – not an in-app chat.

  • Each line has its own message threads
  • Its own SMS sound and alert style per line
  • Notifications can show just 'New activity', without the sender or the text

How it works

Three steps, on the phone you already have

  1. Download and verify

    Install the app and verify your real number with an SMS code. It's only used to recognise your outgoing calls.

  2. Choose a number

    Mobile 05X or landline 07X, from the numbers available. We don't ask for an ID.

  3. Talk

    Choose where the number rings – on your SIM, in the app or both – and start making and taking calls and texts.

Privacy

Your real number stays private

Home-screen animation: the ShadowNumber icon turns into a neutral icon called Notes.

A neutral icon on your home screen. On Android, the name changes too.

The people you talk to only see your second number. And if you need more privacy, discreet mode protects the app itself.

  • A neutral home-screen icon: Lines, Notes or Shapes
  • Lock with fingerprint, Face ID or a PIN, and a Decoy PIN that opens an empty account
  • On Android: a secret code in your dialer opens the app
  • Panic wipe of everything on the phone, and automatic history deletion

Privacy: All the details

AI assistant

An AI assistant that answers for you

When you're busy, don't answer or can't be reached, the assistant takes the call. Outside working hours, calls follow your hours settings.

  • Smart voicemail, Call screening or Receptionist
  • A paid add-on, by AI minutes per month
  • Powered by Arivox voice agents

In the app

Everything a second number needs

Each line has its own settings, messages and history, in one app.

  • Rings on SIM, app or both

    For each line, choose where it rings: on your cellular line, in the app over the internet, or both at once – whichever you answer first takes the call.

  • Work and personal apart

    Two lines on one account, each with its own colour, messages and settings.

  • Hours and forwarding

    Working hours for each line (with a short Friday), and what happens outside them or when you don't answer: voicemail, the AI assistant or forwarding to an Israeli number.

  • Alerts and sound

    Ring, vibrate or silent for calls in the app, an SMS sound per line, and VIP contacts that always ring.

  • Voicemail

    Voicemail for each number, with transcripts in the app. A paid add-on.

  • Change number

    Need a different number? Replace the number on the line and keep its settings and history. A one-time payment.

  • Blocking

    Block calls with no caller ID, and keep a list of blocked numbers for each line.

  • Emergency calls

    100, 101, 102, 104, 105 and 112 always go to your phone's own dialer.
