   Easy to use, and just what we needed!

   I needed a 1800 number for my business, and paying for a second phone line and getting a second phone is overpriced for what I needed. for 10 bucks a month, OpenPhone allows me to have a 1800 number right on my own cell phone through their app. So my personal calls don't get mixed up with my business calls. The app is easy to use, has a voicemail feature, and call forwarding for when I'm out and don't want to use data.

   Pros:    Easy to use|Cost effective

• Near a Cheap Alternative to PublicMobile

  I usually use VOIP with openphone.com and use her phone when I am on the go... But now need a phone for something simple and was looking to sign up with Public mobile for the $15 / month my wife had, but NOW ITS GONE!!! Dang those bastards. Source: over 3 years ago

• Need a permanent USA virtual phone number or virtual simcard capable of receiving sms when connected to DATA and/or WIFI. As cheap as possible.

  Google voice is free! If you need something with a little more power. Voip.ms, sipharmony.com, and openphone.com. Source: about 4 years ago

  Oh no, the latest MacOS app is actually supposed to be much better than the web app. If you recall any issues you had specifically, please send me a note to dk @ openphone.co. Source: over 4 years ago

• Apple has locked my Apple ID, and I have no recourse. A plea for help

  HN hasn't focused on those topics in a long time, they rarely are on the front page. Skip the top 20 articles and you'll start to see some interesting content instead of all the VC & AI drivel. Hackaday is a content aggregator site that usually has more content on these topics - https://hackaday.com Or there are still some good old blogs out there with RSS feeds. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
