Speaking of the latter, their iOS app recently received a major 4.0 update, which brings end-to-end encryption and revamped user interface, plus improvements to their core private number service.
The update also brings quick replies for text messages and CallKit integration, so answering a phone call uses the Phone app on iOS.

This is great. I’m a regular reader and I’m glad I can support a sponsor. I was actually looking for something just like this and tried burned but it never worked. Hopefully this does. I got a alwaysonline data sim to roam in the US and now I can fwd my canadian # to hushed when in the US
Thanks for your support. Let me know if you need anything.
I am currently looking for a good voip and I still did not find the one that fits my needs. I have a few question about it that I hope you can answer.
1. Can I port my number to Hushed?
2. Can I receive code validation texts? (E.g. 2 factor authentication code from iCloud)
3. Who can I call with the included minutes? For example it I am from Ontario can I talk for free with someone from BC.
4. Can I call landline and cell?
I have recently signed up for 3gb $15/month tablet plan with Fido and now I am looking for a voip since it is a da only plan.
Thank you!
Hey Stefan! Happy to help!
1. Yes, number portability is available through our support team (su*****@****ed.com)
2. Most of the number ranges currently available in our inventory are already designated as virtual/voip numbers. Other services will have filters to block these numbers from being used for verification. Some users in the past (hit or miss) have been successful in receiving verification codes but they are not intended for these purposes and not something we recommend.
3. You can make and receive calls/sms from anyone within the North American +1 area code with your included minutes for free. You can also top up minutes at anytime.
4. Yes, calls can be made to both landline and cell numbers.
Hope this clarifies things a bit 🙂
Yes it does. THANK YOU!
