Hushed review
A second-number service with calling, messaging and voicemail across mobile and web.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Hushed gives individuals a separate phone number for personal communications, travel, selling items, shopping or other situations. Calls and texts run through the app over Wi-Fi or mobile data, and numbers are available from supported regions. Its mix of second and multiple numbers, calling, SMS/MMS, voicemail and forwarding makes it relevant to people who want to keep communications distinct without carrying another phone. It is also aimed at solo users and small businesses, though the features described are centered on phone-number communication rather than a broader business phone system.
The published plans show a paid service with a three-day trial and a listed starting price of $6.99 per number per month. The named Unlimited Subscription options distinguish Canada/Continental US from Puerto Rico or UK and offer one-line or three-line variants; their listed highlight is unlimited local talk and text. Other options described include prepaid local plans, pay-as-you-go international calling and credits. For a buyer comparing costs, the key distinction is that the starting price applies per number, while the supplied plan information does not give prices for every option. Hushed may suit someone who values a separate line and predictable local calling, but those seeking a free ongoing plan should look elsewhere.
The feature set covers more than basic calls and texts: digital voicemail with custom greetings, call forwarding and routing, SMS auto-reply, integrated call history and number port-in are included. Apps are available for iOS, Android and web, with mobile and cloud deployment. Email, chat and documentation are support channels, and support is listed as available 24/7. Hushed fits buyers who want a personal or travel-related second number accessible across devices, provided a number is available in their region. Its three-day trial gives a short evaluation window, so buyers wanting a longer trial or a free plan should consider alternatives.
