What do you like best about Sideline?

I love being able to receive calls directly to my cell phone. Instead of being locked to a landline, the sideline app is the perfect way to answer calls on the go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sideline?

Sometimes the voicemails take awhile to come through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sideline is great if you do not receive a high call volume. If you are receiving a lot of calls, you might want to consider a land line with call waiting and other features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sideline solving and how is that benefiting you?

Instead of buying a landline, I use my cell phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sideline?

I use sideline to engage in my small business dealings without having to give out my personal cell phone number or purchase a separate phone. I love how it is able to integrate with your current cell phone and really act as a "sideline". You have the ability to choose what your 2nd number will be and you can even change it. I love how you can customize the the ringtone and the text message notification sound so you can fully be aware when you phone rings that it someone is contacting your business/2nd number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sideline?

I don't have too many negative things to say about the app as it fits my needs perfectly fine. The only thing I could probably comment on is the fact that the app used to be free, but now you have to pay for a subscription - whether that be monthly or annually. It's $9.99 a month. There are other apps that do the same thing that are free to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sideline:

It's good for what it offers. If you don't want to pay to have a second number, there are other apps on the market that offer the same service but for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sideline solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having a second number attached to a device I already own is very Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
