We are really excited to release a feature that we know many YouMailers have been waiting for. Extra Line is a second inbound phone number for your phone. This feature has two settings. You can have calls to this second number go straight to voicemail or ring your phone just like your primary line. Don’t worry if you choose to forward calls to your primary line we will let you know which line was called.

Extra Line is available with the Premium and Business plan. You can upgrade to one of these plans here and check out all the other features these plans have to offer.

    1. What are you thinking changed? If you have an iPhone, you can make outbound calls through the app, and the caller ID will reflect the number of your extra line. Are you saying it’s not doing that?

  2. Extra line details that extra line will notify you which line is calling. How is this notification done? I ask because I am blind and use an iPhone with Voice Over text to speech. I want to make sure of accessibility. Thanks.
