How to get a second phone number on iPhone

Why you should have a second phone number on your iPhone?

The main reason you should have a second phone on your iPhone is privacy. Below are two examples of what happens when you use a personal number and how using a second phone number would protect you.

When filling out your credit card information online, you might unintentionally give your personal mobile phone number to a counterfeit website during checkout. Even if the credit card company denies the payment, your phone number may be at risk. Hackers can run your phone number through search sites to find other information about you, like your name, email, or even your home address. Even if it isn't a hacker trying to steal your personal information, plenty of scammers would love to get access to your cell phone number and spam you with unwanted SMS text messages, phone calls, and voice messages.

Another reason to have a second phone number is if you are using your personal number to conduct business. If potential clients call you and you can't pick up, they will hear your personal voicemail greeting, which will be unprofessional. With SLYNUMBER, you can give out that number to potential clients and appear more professional than giving out your personal number.

How do companies use your personal phone number for marketing?

Did you know that when you give out your phone number for features like two-factor authentication or registration, the company then uses that number to gather information on you? Companies and marketing firms will use your personal number in a practice known as data mining, which allows them to tailor their marketing strategies directly to you.

Another type of marketing that companies will use is geofencing via your area code and geographic area, as well as using your Bluetooth and wifi when you are near a store or event. That means your personal phone number is a magnet for ads to target you the second you are in their target area.

Finally, downloading an app for a fast-food service or something similar gives that corporation access to your data if you use your personal phone number. The corporation can use that data for specific marketing deals, which may sound good to you, but the corporation can also sell your data, which you may need to be aware of. While there might be an incentive to download the app to save money, the corporation is most likely getting more value from that number in ways you need to be aware of.
