Hushed

Hushed is a privacy-first virtual number service that allows users to generate temporary or long-term phone numbers in dozens of countries. Popular among travelers, online sellers, and dating app users, Hushed makes it easy to separate personal identity from public-facing interactions. Numbers can be created on demand and discarded whenever no longer needed. The app supports calling, SMS, MMS, and voicemail, and users can manage multiple numbers simultaneously. Its international coverage gives it an advantage over many U.S.-centric competitors. With flexible prepaid plans and no requirement for a secondary device, Hushed is particularly useful for short-term projects, classified listings, and situations where maintaining anonymity is important.
