Google Voice (available for Android and iOS) offers a free phone number that rings multiple phones simultaneously, along with a package of other features, including voicemail, voice-to-text transcription,&nbsp;call recording, conferencing, special call-handling rules for both individual and groups of contacts, and visual voicemail. Review of Google's Voice Phone Service <h2> Phonebooth </h2> Phonebooth is a serious alternative to Google Voice and is full of features. However, it costs money.

When you register for one user, you get two phone lines. It gives you a number in your area and lets you receive 200 minutes of calls. It also offers voice-to-text transcription, an auto attendant, and a click-to-call widget.

The Phonebooth service has a solid VoIP background behind it and offers competitive calling rates, comparable to other VoIP players on the market. <h2> Install a Voice Calling App </h2> Some apps give you your own phone number while others aren&#39;t technically phones (because there isn&#39;t a number) but do let you accept calls from multiple devices, including phones, tablets, and computers.

For example, these iOS apps that can make free calls can make and accept calls from other users of the apps, but because the programs are compatible with multiple platforms, you can get your phone calls to ring on all devices at once. As an example, you can install the FreedomPop app to get a free phone number that comes with the ability to call any landline or mobile phone in the U.S.

This makes you less likely to miss important calls. The setup also lets you choose where to talk based on the nature of the call. Traditionally, this type of situation calls for a PBX configuration, which is expensive both as a service and in terms of equipment.

The huge investment is a deterrent that explains why it's a fairly rare setup. With one number, you can configure a series of devices to ring whenever there&#39;s an incoming call. We&#39;re not talking about having one line with different branches and phone terminals but, instead, several independent devices ringing, and the freedom to choose which one to answer.

The 6 Best Cordless Phones of 2022 FAQ How can I call two phone numbers at the same time? Most modern smartphones have an Add Call button you can press once you connect to the first number you dial—just press that and ring up the other number you want to include, then press Merge (or Merge calls on iOS). You can also merge a current call with an incoming call by putting the original call on hold to answer the new one, then selecting Merge or Merge calls.

Unless they&#39;re intentionally added or merged, that is. Though it is possible for someone to listen in on a call if your phone has been compromised with spyware or other types of malware.
