    The free 2nd line is a "clone" of the 1st line. That means it shares the same phone number with the main line.

    To have a 2nd phone number on the account (whether issued new or by porting one in), you would need to purchase a virtual number for $4.95/Mo or $36/Yr. That virtual number could then be assigned to the 2nd port if you like.

    The account itself though only includes 1 phone number and that phone number and the 2nd line is simply a clone of the 1st and both lines share the same single phone number.

    I posted a question regarding a second stand alone line, but this looks like a good option. As I read your response, Tim, I am guess this is what I need to do to get a second line and port over an existing number:

    1. Add a virtual number to my account (including payment).
    2. Send in a ticket asking the virtual number be assigned to the second port of my phone adapter.
    3. Fill out the paperwork requesting the porting of an existing number and send in a request to have the ported number take the place of the virtual number.
    4. Wait for the porting to complete.
    5. Joyfully make phone calls.

    Please correct me if I have something wrong. I want to make sure I follow the proper protocols.

    Thanks, Tim!

    That makes a lot of sense but is kind of a shame that this isn't offered as standard. But for that price it may still be cheaper than other providers. Regardless, thanks for clearing this up for all of us as we research.
