Yes, the Second Phone Number App uses Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to make and receive calls and texts. This means you'll need a Wi-Fi or mobile data connection to use it.

Here's what this means in practical terms:

Flexibility: Make and receive calls and texts anywhere with a decent internet connection, not just near cell towers. Perfect for travelers, remote workers, or anyone on the go!
Potential cost savings: Calls and texts are made over the internet, so you can potentially save money on your phone bill by avoiding traditional carrier charges.
Data usage: Keep in mind that using the app on mobile data can use up your data allowance quickly. Be sure to check your plan and consider using Wi-Fi whenever possible for a more stable connection and to avoid unexpected charges.

We recommend:

Using Wi-Fi whenever possible for the most stable connection and to avoid data usage.
Checking your data plan allowances to avoid unexpected charges if you'll be using the app on the go.
