Stop giving clients your personal cell. Get a dedicated business number with calling, SMS, voicemail, and AI call summaries — all in one app.
Free plan available — no credit card required. Phone number add-on from $4.95/mo.
The Basics
A second phone number app gives you a dedicated business line on your existing smartphone — no second device, no second SIM, no contract with a carrier. You get a real phone number with its own voicemail, inbox, and call history, completely separate from your personal line.
Your personal number stays private. Clients see your business number. You answer both from one device, and your work life stops bleeding into your personal one.
That's the baseline. Phound goes further: every call can be summarized by AI, every voicemail transcribed, every conversation searchable. Your business communications live in one place — calls, texts, and video — not scattered across five apps.
When you give clients your personal number, you lose boundaries, professionalism, and control. You can't set business hours. You can't hand the number off to a teammate. You can't track conversations. A business phone number fixes all three — and Phound adds AI to make every call count.
Use Cases
If you talk to clients, customers, or colleagues from your personal phone, you need a business number. Here's who benefits most.
Keep client calls off your personal line. Look like a real business from day one. Set business hours so calls after 6pm go to voicemail — automatically.
Respond to leads faster with SMS, keep showing activity off your personal number, and use AI call summaries to never forget a client's needs.
Maintain professionalism and a clear work/life boundary. AI transcription keeps a searchable record of every client call — without a separate recorder.
Give buyers or customers a business contact without exposing your real number. Stay reachable, stay safe.
Communicate with patients and families from a compliant, separate line. Voicemail transcription keeps notes without manual documentation.
Share a business line across your team. Call logs, AI summaries, and video meetings in one place — so nothing falls through and no context is lost.

Features
Not all second number apps are built the same. Here's what separates a useful tool from one you'll forget to open after week one.
Your Phound number is a genuine business line. You can call and receive calls from any number, not just other app users. Clients don't need to install anything.
After every call, Phound generates a summary of what was discussed — automatically. No more scrambling for notes. Your conversation history is searchable from the start. Explore Phound AI →
Every voicemail is transcribed and searchable. Skim missed messages in seconds without dialing in. Available on Phound Pro and above.
Text clients from your business number — including photos, attachments, and group messages — all from the same app you use for calls.
Set a professional greeting on your business line. Keep your personal voicemail completely separate. Business hours scheduling keeps after-hours calls off your radar.
No Zoom tab needed. Phound includes video meetings — up to 500 participants on Pro — in the same app as your phone calls.
Take calls from your phone, laptop, or both. Your number follows you everywhere — calls, texts, and conversation history stay in sync across every device.
Phound Basic is free — unlimited Phound-to-Phound calling, video meetings, and messaging with no credit card. Add a PSTN business number for $4.95/mo, or upgrade to Pro at $9.99/month to get it included with AI summaries and unlimited SMS.
