Verizon's My Numbers offers up to 4 virtual lines


Verizon announced a VOIP service for existing for adding up to four lines to a single device. The product is sold as monthly service via a new My Numbers app. Phone lines cost $15 each per month and include unlimited talk and text. Each line also has its own voicemail box.

The idea is rather than having multiple phones, or in the case of the iPhone XS, two on one device, you can have your standard mobile number, plus four additional. The services all run through the app, however, iOS offers notifications as if it were a built-in service. There are a number of services out there offering virtual numbers for less, but this comes with some convenience of being put on your Verizon bill.

I'm playing around with the app for a month. Some services require the use of an actual mobile account or landline, and even though it's through Verizon, the service doesn't work on for sites with that restriction.
