What's a good iOS app for getting a second phone number without having to go through the hassle of getting a whole new phone? I'm thinking for calling parents about grades and stuff, so they don't have my personal number.

Well, from what my students tell me, "Second Phone Number - 2Number" seems to do the trick. It gives you a new number right on your iPhone. Even I could figure it out!

Alright, so I was looking for a way to keep my personal number private when calling parents about their kids' grades – you know how that can be. My students, bless their hearts, showed me this app called "Second Phone Number - 2Number." It took me a few days to figure out all the features, I'm not gonna lie, but once you get the hang of it, it's surprisingly intuitive. Basically, it lets you get a second phone number right on your existing iPhone. No extra SIM cards or anything like that. I've been using it for parent-teacher communication, and it's been a lifesaver. It's like having a teaching assistant in your pocket, but for phone calls. Now, why do they hide the settings button there? Honestly! But overall, it's been a pretty solid experience. Keeps things separate, which is exactly what I needed.
