Take an extra 20% off lifetime access to a second phone number

TL;DR: Through April 7, save an extra 20% on a lifetime subscription to a second phone number with Hushed and get 6,000 SMS or 1,000 phone minutes each year with coupon code SECURE20.

How many times a day does your phone ring, but it’s not a “real” call — as in, it’s a telemarketer, robocall, or even a scam. These days, it seems like we get those more often than our friends or family dial us, and there might be a solution: Getting a second phone number with Hushed to filter out the bad from the good.

Unlike your current cellular provider which would probably charge you a small fortune for a second line, a Hushed lifetime subscription is currently on sale for $19.99 (reg. $150) with code SECURE20 at checkout. Shop other security-related deals in the Mashable Shop with this coupon through April 7.

A second number is your call to privacy

Having a second phone number with Hushed is as simple as having the app on your iOS or Android phone and using its current WiFi or cellular connection. This is where you’ll have text and phone conversations, though you could also set up call forwarding settings and customize your voicemail.

Start by choosing an area code from hundreds of choices across the United States and Canada. Those using Hushed as a way to ward off those annoying spam calls after calling 800 numbers, applying for credit, or making donations (yes, that’s how your number gets out there) may want to choose a location randomly, while those using a second number for dating or selling online might select one close to their real location.

This particular subscription tier includes a combination of 6,000 SMS or 1,000 phone minutes to use each year, though you can purchase additional credits at any time. There are also higher amounts available that also work with the SECURE20 coupon code.

A second number could be the right call with Hushed, now $19.99 for a lifetime subscription (reg. $150) when you enter coupon code SECURE20 at checkout until April 7 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
