How to use 2 phone numbers on a cell phone?
Ok, I know how to get a 2nd phone # (Google, others). I want to use the 2nd number on marketing materials. My 1st phone is my personal one, of course. Here's what I figured out so far:
1. People can call the 2nd number and listen to my recorded voice message. If they leave a message, then an email is sent to me with that recording.
What I don't know how to do:
(1) when I return the call, I want them to see the 2nd phone number as the one that shows up on their caller id?
(2) how can I switch it so that I can answer the phone, if I want to?
What do you all do?
Thanks! Julie

@Julie Groth If you have a smartphone you want to download the google voice app. You can set it up so everytime you make a call it asks what number you want to use to call out. Works great! And you can listen while they leave a message and all of that good stuff. You can even text them from the 2nd # through the app.
