About this app

The Spikko cellular virtual phone numbers app is the client for the Spikko solution. You must have a PAID Spikko account in order to use it. Please register--> https://secure.spikko.com/Register.aspx

Get additional numbers on your cell phone – local, and in 52 other countries. Receive cellular calls on any of those numbers, and control your displayed identity by selecting any one of those #s for outgoing calls.
Your privacy is protected, and you can select dedicated phone # for calls, SMS, etc. and there’s no need for access codes - for example - on international calls.
We don't keep your phonebook, make it public or searchable, or infringe on your privacy in any way.

There’s no need to purchase a dual SIM device or carry two handsets.
You can restrict the hours and days that those additional numbers are active.
All additional numbers can be active at the same time according to a pre-defined schedule, as opposed to dual SIMs solutions.

For a small / home office, working with customers around the globe, Travelling a lot, or just looking for increased privacy - you need the Spikko solution - at home or when roaming*, to make sure you can use the number you need for your purpose.

Get one, or several extra numbers you may need on the same handset, with low-cost incoming/outgoing calls, and don’t compromise on quality or privacy. Lastly– there’s no dependency on a data connection or access codes, as Spikko technology works over standard cellular networks and is not based on VOIP connections.
You can now have multiple landline or mobile numbers on just one mobile device.
We keep our prices (for dedicated numbers and calls) as low as possible, and you can cancel at any time. We offer email support to keep our prices down, no phone support is offered at this time.
