I give out this number to business clients. The best feature about Sideline is that you can block people and they have no idea that they've been blocked, and there is no extra cost for the blocking > > **Cons**: I sometimes get errors when using Sideline ----- ### "If things go wrong, they go very wrong" — 4.0/5 > **Arin** | *9 February 2022* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Once you have everything set up, the app pilots itself. It's pretty easy to use > > **Cons**: Customer service is awful. There is no one to talk to personally, ever. If something goes wrong, it will stay wrong, for hours or days while they take their time to respond to your email for help. If you need to make a change in the app, it will not auto install. You will have to delete the app and log back in. No, I'm not joking. For every change. It's literally archaic. Good luck. > > My business number is with sideline so we need to stay, but the issues with the app and customer service make it an awful experience ----- ### "No need for a second phone" — 4.0/5 > **Psalm** | *17 July 2018* | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: This has cut my client cost down greatly. I don't have to have a seperate phone. The phone quality has been steadyand the texting is helpful with rescheduling\! > > **Cons**: There is this strange second message that you have to answer yes to for every call. I don't like the confirmation of the call button, but I understand it may help people who use there side line for more discreet dealings. > > Should have lower price tiers for lower use ----- ### "Good texting tool, but not ideal for mass texting" — 5.0/5 > **carla** | *16 December 2021* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: is easy to use, straight up, simple\! I use Sideline whenever I don't want to waste money to text clients, with just the monthly payment you can text as many people as you want without getting a charge > > **Cons**: I wish it had more options, maybe to save some auto-responses or mass texting but it does the job that is supposed to do > > Good\! ----- ### "It Works if you need it\!" — 5.0/5 > **Iyad** | *3 November 2019* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked having two lines while carrying one cellphone\! I liked it being anonymous to the party I was making business with. You choose the number and the area code. Receive messages through the sideline number\! > > **Cons**: No cons actually I did not need it after my free trial expired but I will sure use it again if I ever felt the need for a second line. > > Great Experience\! ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/155605/sideline?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/155605/sideline) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
