What is a free phone number?
With YouMail, you can get a free phone number that adds a second phone line to your cell phone. One phone with two numbers, as simple as that.
With a free phone number from YouMail, your existing number works just like before. You can call with it, or send and receive text messages, just like you might expect. But now you have a second phone number available to give out when you want to keep your cell phone private or keep your calls separated.
For example, do you really want every place you shop to be able to call you or your cell phone? Do you want credit cards and your bank to harass you by calling you at all hours to remind you that you missed a payment? Or would you rather have them call a second phone number where you can have them go to voicemail by default?
Similarly, do you really want your work calls mixed with your personal calls? Or your work messages mixed with your personal messages? It is so much better to be able to answer work calls formally, while answering your personal calls casually.
