Yes, if you have a Private number. A Private number is assigned only to you and supports both SMS and voice, so friends, family and customers can call it.

Shared numbers are receive-SMS only and do not take calls.

Why use a second number?

  • Keep your main number private.
  • Have a local number in the UK, US, Canada or Australia without a second SIM.
  • Stay reachable abroad over Wi-Fi or mobile data, with no roaming charges for ZEDSMS itself (your mobile operator may still charge for data).

To get one, see How do I buy a number? To receive calls, the number must be active, so consider turning on auto-renew.
