Adding Temporary Phone Number for Calls and Texts to iPhone

Hello Team, wondering if you've had success adding a temporary line to your iPhone. It does not appear Verizon can do this with my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I see many apps on the App Store. Wondering if anyone has a recommendation.


I want to call and text from my iPhone but not give out my Verizon phone number.

Hello garywi,


Thanks for getting in contact with us today. We understand you'd like to add a temporary phone number to your iPhone. We're happy to provide guidance.


You can set up another SIM card on your iPhone. Use the steps here: Using Dual SIM with an eSIM


Your iPhone must be unlocked to use two different carriers. More information about unlocking is here: How to unlock your iPhone for use with a different carrier


We hope this helps. Take care!
