How to Text From a Different Phone Number

There are a few reasons you might want to text someone from a different phone number. Maybe it’s a fun reason: you’re setting up a surprise birthday scavenger hunt. Maybe it’s a serious reason: you’re doing a loyalty test on your bestie’s significant other. Or maybe it’s for something benign: participating in a survey for a discount. 

No matter the reason, Hushed makes it easy, affordable, and offers complete privacy, anytime you need to send a text from a different number. Here are some things to consider if you’re hoping to send a text from a different number:

Privacy

If you need to communicate with anyone you don’t know well—maybe for a customer service request or inquiry—a Hushed number keeps your personal contact info private. You can be confident that any of these interactions won’t result in unwanted messages or calls down the line.

Caller ID and Anonymity

With Hushed, anytime you need to text from a different number, the person who received the message will only see the Hushed number on their screen. You can trust that they won’t be able to see your real name, your primary number, or any personal information. 

Temporary and Disposable Numbers for Short-Term Use

There are times when you might need a temporary phone number for only short-term interaction, for example a one-time event or to complete a survey. A different number with Hushed means you can keep your private number completely out of these temporary situations and never give a second thought to additional, unwanted communications.

What to Expect When Texting from a Different Number

Perhaps the biggest benefit of sending a text from a different number is the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re protecting your identity. Here’s how Hushed keeps your privacy intact:

No Personal Information Displayed

The recipient of your text or phone call will only see your Hushed temporary number as your contact info on their screen. Rest assured that your name, your primary personal number, and [especially] your location won’t appear on their end.

Keep your Life Organized and Separate your Temporary Number from your Primary Number

Your Hushed number isn’t linked in any way to your primary phone, meaning you never have to worry about mixups or any potential crossover of calls, texts, or caller ID between the two lines.

Keep or Cancel Easily at Any Time

It’s so easy to ditch your Hushed number. If you’re loving it and using it daily, you can choose to keep your new number as long as you like. All done? Cancel it or change it when its specific purpose is fulfilled. Whether you need a number for a week or a month, or indefinitely, Hushed makes it easy to change or drop your secondary line whenever you’re ready.
