RingReplacer
As many phone numbers as you want, on the iPhone you already carry.
Each one is a real number that calls and texts, and each rings differently so you know which one it is before you look. You pay per person, not per number — so the fifth number costs about $2 a month from the carrier and nothing extra from us.

Numbers are reckoned at $2 a month each, which is on the safe side — a plain local number with texting on is nearer $1.10, plus $0.40 for the caller-name lookup that shows you who is ringing. Texts are averaged at about half a cent including carrier surcharges. RingCentral's figures are their published annual rates: $20, $25 or $35 per person, one number included each, $5 a month per extra number, and 25 / 100 / 200 texts per person before overage at about a cent.

* Business texting registration is the same money either way — about $19.50 once and $1.50 a month, payable to the carrier, passed through at cost by us and by RingCentral alike — so it's left out of both columns. Why that exists →
Then $14.95/month for you, $7.95 for anyone else. Cancel whenever you like.
The short version
Three things worth knowing. Each one opens up if you want the detail.
You pay per person, not per number
Everyone else charges for each number you add — RingCentral is $5 a month apiece. Here the software price doesn't move, and the number costs you about $2 from the carrier. Five numbers for one person is the case we're built for.
See the honest comparison →It runs on your machine, not ours
Your texts, voicemail and call history live in a database you control. Nobody reads them, because there's no company in the middle to do the reading. The catch, stated plainly: you run a small server, and that's genuinely the trade.
What setting it up involves →We'll tell you when to buy something else
One person with one number? Google Voice is free and better for you. Need call queues and desk phones? Buy RingCentral. We're for the space in between, and we'd rather say so than sell you the wrong thing.
Read the awkward questions →Numbers that aren't tied to us.
They sit in your own carrier account — a different company and a different bill. Cancel us tomorrow and they carry on working, because nothing of ours was ever attached to them.
