I love the way you can use the settings to add a picture in conjunction with an automated reply when you can't answer the phone. > > **Cons**: It's a dummy number and there are other platforms that can't use the number to send bulk texts, etc. > > I really like this platform and it allows me to know when a business call is coming in so that I can make an effort to answer every call. No more guessing whether it's work-related or not. ----- ### "Attractive Design" — 5.0/5 > **Hillary** | *19 March 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: The display/interface is clean and easy to navigate > > **Cons**: It used to be a free service and now that’s not an option. > > I used Sideline as, like the name suggests, for a side phone or 2nd phone number. It was easy to sign up for and aesthetically pleasing to me ----- ### "Problems with usage and cancelling subscription" — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *5 February 2019* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: It appeared to be a good solution for my small business > > **Cons**: On more than one occasion, people left messages, I saw the call listed, but there was no voicemail there. The developer had no explanation for the problem and could not fix it. I went back and forth many times with customer service. They were responsive but the problem was never fixed. In addition, when I tried to cancel my subscription, Google could not find the subscription agreement I purchased through Google Play, and I spent hours on the phone trying to stop the monthly charges. Sideline support referred me to Google, and Google referred me to Paypal. It was a ridiculous set of events not worthy of anyone's l-o-n-g amount of time spent. > > It seemed to work well at the beginning and was good for the price, but things deteriorated over time, causing a lot of problems with my not getting back to customers whose messages got lost in Sideline cyberspace ----- ### "ADS" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *6 September 2019* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's an alternative to having a second cell phone. Customers recognize the area code as somewhat local. > > **Cons**: ADS in the form of a message, on my alerts it shows as if I missed a call or have a text message from prospective client. I understand that Sideline is constantly working for us users to find better ways to use the app, but I rather receive these BETA request and news and information in the form of a email. > > the messages that get from SIDELINE are confusing me with perceived missed calls and or messages from prospective clients. I would like an option to be able to receive communication in another format, perhaps email or op out. I will be searching for an alternative if this issue cannot or will not be addressed or resolved. Thank you for allowing me to vent. ----- ### "Excellent Option for Freelancers" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 October 2018* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sideline make it very easy for me to neatly divide my work calls and texts from my friends. I work as a freelancer so it's super nice to know when an editor might be calling vs a friend. Being able to text from my second number is great as well. I'm told you are also able to bring your number with you if you ever grow your business to the point of wanting a standard desk phone, which is a great feature, but I've not done it. > > **Cons**: Very little. Works great and I have no complaints. > > Sideline lets me have a work phone and a personal phone without actually needing to have two phones. Great service. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/102951/sideline?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/102951/sideline) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
