No such app. This means you have found either an app that needs to be made or there are reasons why there is no such app.

-> Numbers such as Cell phone numbers are never free. At some point the app or company will need to generate revenue to pay for the numbers. Whatsapp doesn't use cell phone numbers so it's immune to that issue.
Google's system is currently subsidized by all that google is doing so it's not an example you can use to prove that phone numbers are "free".
Hello!
I require urgently for my thesis an app (android) which allows me a) a second mobile number b) for my contacts to not require the same app to contact this number c) for it to be free to download/receive the number d) free to receive incoming calls (im only using it for receiving) e) work in the UK...
Ive done a lot of searching (burner, hushed, 2nd line, whatsapp for business, skype for business etc.....) And all of them dont fit at least a couple of these vital criteria.
Any help would be very much appreciated!!
Many thanks indeed
