Verizon’s My Numbers Lets You Add Extra Phone Numbers: Here’s How

News
By published

For $15 per number each month, you can add other numbers to your Verizon account. Here's how it works.

Sometimes, one phone number on your mobile phone just doesn't cut it. Maybe you need a second or third number for work reasons. Or perhaps it'd be great if calls to one number could reach everyone in your family on their individual devices.

Verizon says My Numbers supports any LTE-capable iPhone or Android device, and there are already apps live for those respective platforms. To get started, visit the App Store or Google Play Store.

It's worth noting that Google Voice is really the progenitor to both T-Mobile and Verizon's services — and, better yet, it's free.

Google Voice gives you one free number that is accessible across all smartphones, tablets and computers through a web interface. If one more number is all you need (and, presumably, you live in the U.S. — as you would have to be if you were considering Verizon's My Numbers already), it could be a solid alternative.
