What's Sideline? Sideline is a Google Voice alternative that adds a 2nd number to your current phone for just $9.99/month.

Once you have created your Sideline account, chosen a temporary Sideline number, and unlocked your Google Voice number, go to Number Porting in the Sideline Settings.

To unlock your number:
