Give out TINE. Keep your number.
Every listing, match and sign-up form spreads your personal number a little further. Use your TINE number instead, and keep your real one for the people who already have it.
Selling on Marketplace or Craigslist
Buyers call and text your TINE number. Once the sale is done, they have nothing that leads back to you.
Selling without your real numberDating apps
Move the chat off the app without handing over your personal number. If it goes nowhere, just stop replying.
Work and side business
A separate line for clients, so work calls stop landing on your personal phone at 9pm.
Sign-ups and verification codes
Use it for new accounts and one-time codes instead of spreading your real number around. Most services accept it.
Example: verifying a Polymarket accountLiving outside the US
Keep a US, UK or Canadian number from anywhere, for banks, apps and people back home.

What is TINE?
TINE is a second phone number service. You get a real US, UK or Canadian phone number that you can call and text from any web browser, with no SIM card, no contract and no second phone. Plans start at $5 a month. TINE is run by Pluto Tech Ltd.
Is a TINE number a real phone number?
Yes. Anyone can call or text it from a normal phone, and your calls and texts show it as the caller ID. Technically it's a virtual (VoIP) number: it lives in the cloud instead of on a SIM card.
How do I get a second phone number without a second phone?
Sign up for TINE, choose a country and area code, pick a number and choose a plan. The number works straight away in your web browser on your laptop or phone, so you don't need a second SIM, an eSIM or another device.
Can I receive verification codes on a TINE number?
Yes. TINE numbers receive SMS, including one-time codes from most apps and websites. Some services, often banks and a few social apps, refuse all virtual numbers, so we can't promise every service will work. If a code matters, test your number with that service first.
Can I get a US phone number if I don't live in the US?
Yes. You can sign up from anywhere and pick a number in the United States, Canada or the United Kingdom. You don't need an existing US number to get one.
How much does TINE cost?
A US or Canadian number costs $5.00 a month, or less on longer plans: $13.49 for 3 months, $25.99 for 6 months or $49.99 a year (about $4.17 a month). A UK number costs $8.00 a month or $79.99 a year. Every plan includes calling and texting credit, and usage is pay-as-you-go from that credit. On US and Canadian numbers, outgoing calls are $0.03 a minute, incoming calls $0.02 a minute and texts $0.03 per 160-character segment. On UK numbers, outgoing calls are $0.035 a minute, incoming calls $0.025 a minute, and texts $0.09 to send and $0.025 to receive per 160-character segment. You can top up from $5.
Who can I text and call from my TINE number?
US and Canadian numbers can text and call US and Canadian numbers. UK numbers can text and call UK numbers. Texts and calls to other countries aren't supported.
Will people see my personal number?
No. When you call or text from TINE, people only see your TINE number. Your personal number is never shown to the people you contact.
Is TINE a burner number?
It can be, but it doesn't have to be. Your TINE number stays yours for as long as your plan is active, so it works for long-term uses like a business line or account sign-ups. If you only need a number briefly, choose the monthly plan and release the number when you're done.
Do I need to download an app?
No. TINE runs in your web browser on desktop and mobile. To take calls, keep TINE open in a browser tab. Texts arrive in your inbox whenever you open it. Mobile apps are on the way.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There's no contract, and you can cancel from your account at any time. Cancelling stops future renewals, but payments already made aren't refunded. If you release a number it can't be recovered, so keep your plan active for any number you still need.
Can my team or business use TINE?
Yes. TINE supports teams with shared numbers, admin and member roles, and a shared contact list with lead tags. For multiple numbers, a custom setup or volume pricing, email pluto@tinesim.com.
Does TINE have an API?
Yes. The TINE Developer API lets you buy numbers, send and receive SMS and MMS, handle calls and receive signed webhooks through a REST API. It costs $40 a month, and the full $40 is added to your account as usage credit. Unused plan credit doesn't carry over to the next month; auto-recharge credit does.
