A business phone number for your side hustle

Clock out without switching phones.

Print it on cards, list it on Google. When the shop closes at seven, the line goes to voicemail and stays there until morning. A freelance second line for clients and weekend gigs, on the phone you already have.

Why side hustlers use a side line

Two lives, one phone.

A side hustle shouldn't mean giving every customer your personal number, or carrying a second phone. Keep the business on its own line and decide when it gets to ring.

Look established from day one

Print the number on business cards, add it to your storefront and your Google listing. Customers get a real local number to call.

Know which line is ringing

Different ringtones and different voicemails, on the same phone in your pocket. You'll know it's a customer before you answer.

Business hours that stick

When you're off, you're off. Let the side line go to voicemail at night and play the messages back in the morning.

A line per gig

Freelance design on one number, the weekend cleaning business on another. Run up to ten numbers from one app.

How it works

Open for business in a minute.

Pick a number, put it everywhere customers look, and keep the business calls on the business line.

Step 01

Pick a local area code

Choose a number in the area you serve, so customers see a local business.

Step 02

Put it where customers look

Business cards, your website, your Google listing. Calls and texts land in SideNumber, separate from friends and family.

Step 03

Let it rest after hours

Mute the line or send it to voicemail when the day's done. The line your family calls keeps ringing through.

Reviews

From a bookkeeper who logs off.

"My side business has its own number. It rings my phone but it's not my phone. When I'm off, I'm off, the side line goes to voicemail and I sleep."

FAQ

Running a side hustle on a side number, answered.

Can I list the number on Google and business cards?

Yes. It's a real ten-digit US or Canadian number, so you can publish it anywhere you'd list a business phone number.

Do I need a second phone for a freelance second line?

No. SideNumber runs on the phone you already have, with no second SIM or second device. Client calls and texts ring on the side line, with their own voicemail, and your personal number stays personal.

Do my customers need an app to reach me?

No. Customers call and text it from any phone. Only you need SideNumber.

Can I run more than one side business?

Yes. The 3-number plan is $24.99/mo and the 10-number plan is $59.99/mo, so each gig can have its own line and voicemail.

What if the side hustle doesn't take off?

Cancel any time from your App Store or Google Play account. Billing is monthly or weekly with no long-term contract.

Does it work when I'm out on a job?

Yes. SideNumber works over Wi-Fi and cellular data, anywhere your phone has a connection. Standard carrier data rates apply when you're off Wi-Fi.
