Extra Line on your Android

๐Ÿ“ž Extra Line: A Second Number with Full Control

Available with the YouMail Professional plan, Extra Line provides a dedicated virtual phone number that functions just like a second line โ€” without requiring a second device.

You can:

  • You can receive calls directly to your mobile phone or forward them straight to voicemail.

  • Place outbound calls that display your Extra Line as the caller ID.

  • Send and receive text messages using the Extra Line, with all conversations accessible in the Conversations tab in the app.


When to Use an Extra Line

๐Ÿ”น For Your Business

Turn your personal phone into a business powerhouse. With Extra Line, thereโ€™s no need for a second device โ€” just keep your work and personal life separate with a professional number dedicated to your business calls and texts.

๐Ÿ”น For Your Privacy

Selling on Craigslist? Using a dating app? Keep your real number private by giving out your Extra Line instead. Itโ€™s a smart, secure way to communicate without exposing your personal contact info.
