Texting with a second number is simple and doesn’t require a new phone. 

One of the easiest options is using a texting app like Flext. Flext gives you a dedicated second phone number that you can use for texting from an application on either your iPhone or Android device. Your personal number stays private, and all messages are kept separate and easy to manage in one place.

Another option is using a virtual phone service or adding a second SIM or eSIM through your mobile carrier. These methods work, but they can be more expensive or less convenient, especially if you only need the number for texting.

If you want a straightforward way to text from a second number without carrying another device or changing carriers, Flext is a reliable solution.
