VerifyWith vs Second Phone Number apps for verification codes
Several App Store apps are named Second Phone Number; this page covers Ever Apps LLC’s “Second Phone Number” and BP Mobile LLC’s “Second Phone Number - 2Number”. Both call and text, so if you need to reply, pick one of them. For codes only: Ever Apps says some platforms block its virtual (VoIP) numbers, and its website plans cost less than ours. 2Number lists US verification texts as available. Ours is a receive-only, non-VoIP US number.

Ever Apps’ website price and its app price
Ever Apps charges less on its website than in its iPhone app. The website lists $2.99 a week, $4.99 a month and $21.99 a year, with a 30-day money-back guarantee, and says prices in the iPhone app differ. In the app it is $9.99 a month or $49.99 a year, after a 3-day free trial.
At its website prices it costs less than ours at every length both of us sell: $2.99 against our $7.99 for a week, $4.99 against $12.99 for a month, $21.99 against $34.99 for a year. At its app prices, its month costs less than ours and its year costs more.
On codes, Ever Apps is plain about the limit. Its website says many apps and websites accept its number for sign-up codes, “but some platforms block virtual (VoIP) numbers”, and suggests checking which before you rely on it for an important account. Ours is a non-VoIP number, so a check that blocks VoIP numbers isn’t aimed at it. Apps can still refuse a number for other reasons, so if the text never comes, cancel within 24 hours.
What 2Number says about codes and lapsed numbers
BP Mobile’s help pages include a table of what 2Number supports in each country, with a column for SMS and verification. The row for the United States reads “Available”, with no caveat about services that refuse some numbers. It doesn’t say what kind of line its numbers are.
Its rule for a lapsed subscription is strict. When the subscription ends the number is locked for two days, and if you don’t renew in that time, BP Mobile says “the number expires permanently and cannot be restored.” Any account that sends its codes to that number loses that way back in.
A number from us also ends when its time is up, and can then be given to someone else; its texts stay in your account for 7 days. You can extend it at any time before then, and renewals keep the price you first paid.

Questions people ask
- Is 2Number the same app as Second Phone Number?
- No. “Second Phone Number - 2Number” is published by BP Mobile LLC. “Second Phone Number” is published by Ever Apps LLC and also sold through secondlinenumber.com. Other apps with similar names are separate listings.
- Is the Second Phone Number app free?
- Not after the trial. Ever Apps’ app has a 3-day free trial, then costs $9.99 a month or $49.99 a year in the app, or from $2.99 a week on its website. 2Number lists a free trial without saying how long it lasts, then paid subscriptions.
- Are second phone number apps VoIP?
- Ever Apps describes its own number as a virtual VoIP number. BP Mobile’s pages that we read don’t say what kind of line 2Number uses. Ours are non-VoIP, which matters wherever an app checks line type before it sends a code.
- Can I get my money back from Second Phone Number?
- Ever Apps says plans bought on its website come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. With us, a number that has received no texts can be cancelled within 24 hours of buying it, and the money usually comes back.
