Sideline vs. GoDaddy (SmartLine)

Smartline has historically been a solid choice for those seeking a basic 2nd phone number. However, GoDaddy retired the Smartline app on December 31, 2023 and it is no longer in service.

Sideline powers millions of phone numbers with patented, carrier-level call quality and unlimited texting while boasting a wide variety of features to make communicating with your 2nd number more convenient.
