TL;DR: Get a second phone number with a Hushed lifetime subscription for $19.99 with code SAVE20 at checkout through February 23 (reg. $150).
Working long hours is exhausting enough without your boss blowing up your phone after you’ve clocked out. It’s like your workday never ends, and those ‘quick’ after-hours calls and texts just keep piling up. If you need a serious way to protect your time and you’re all out of PTO, try a second phone number.
We aren’t talking about a second phone (because we know how expensive that would be), but simply an app that gives you a new phone number to call and text on. You know, the number you’ll give your boss and coworkers. Unlike a number through your existing mobile carrier, this one through Hushed is only $19.99 with code SAVE20 at checkout through February 23 (reg. $150).
This will teach your boss some boundaries
First step: Tell your boss that you had to change phone numbers. Next step: Your time off work is actually your time.
To set up your private work phone line, Hushed lets you choose the area code from hundreds of options across the United States and Canada. You can also set a custom voicemail, just like a real phone number.
Then, simply open the Hushed second phone number app whenever you need to make calls and send texts. If you ever don’t want to miss a call from your boss (like when there’s actually something important happening for a change), you can set up call forwarding.
No additional data plan is required since Hushed uses your phone’s existing plan or Wi-Fi for connectivity. Every year, you get a combination of 1,000 phone minutes or 6,000 SMS sends — hopefully, that’s more than enough for your after-hours work needs.
