So, I wanted a new phone number, a plus one, you know? I didn’t wanna get rid of my old one, just wanted an extra for some side projects I’m working on. First thing I did, I started looking around online, checking out different providers.
Lots of choices, honestly, it was a bit overwhelming. I spent a good few hours just reading about what each company offered. Some were pushing those “free” numbers, but you know there’s always a catch. Others had these complicated plans, monthly fees, stuff I really didn’t need.
Then, I stumbled upon a few that looked promising. Simpler options, pay-as-you-go, which sounded good. I just wanted a number, no strings attached. I narrowed it down to two or three, and then it was time to dig deeper.
Customer service, that’s where things got interesting. I tried contacting one company, but it was all forms and chat bots. I mean, I just wanted to talk to a real person, ask a few questions. That was a no-go.
- Tried another one.
- Found their phone number after a bit of searching.
- Someone actually answered!
Talked to a real human
We chatted for a bit, I explained what I needed, and they walked me through the process. It was pretty straightforward, actually. They had this deal where you just buy a SIM card, activate it, and boom, new number. Plus, they said I could take this number anywhere, which is cool.
Anyway, after that call, I felt pretty good about it. Ordered the SIM card, it arrived a couple of days later. Popped it in an old phone I had lying around, followed the activation steps, and that was it. I had my plus one phone number. It is not hard.
It’s been working great so far. I use it for all my side project stuff, keeps things separate from my main number. So, yeah, that’s my story of getting a plus one phone number. Not too exciting, but it got the job done.
