what's going on youtube geosnowright
0:01
here so in today's video we're taking a
0:03
look at an application called dingtone
0:05
which allows you to basically have a
0:07
secondary or multiple other phone
0:09
numbers on your device even without the
0:11
sim card so they're basically temporary
0:13
or digital phone numbers that you can
0:15
choose from any country you want now
0:17
think tone is available for both android
0:19
and ios as you can see over here it's
0:21
available in the app store and you can
0:23
get it so it says free calls and text
0:25
for everyone call and text are limitedly
0:27
to any number and yes they do have
0:29
various offers and promotions and stuff
0:31
like that to get credit inside the
0:33
application so that yes you can end up
0:36
using the application for free if you
0:38
watch ads or whatever but you can buy
0:40
credits too if you don't want to do that
0:41
there are various rates in here you can
0:43
see exactly for each country how many
0:45
cents per minute and stuff like that and
0:47
the cents here are basically in dingtong
0:49
credit so basically you can get a phone
0:51
number for any country and then of
0:52
course you will be able to use it as a
0:54
secondary number why would you do that
0:56
well for many reasons like privacy and
0:59
stuff like that maybe you want to give
1:00
the phone number to people on discord
1:02
and stuff like that your body you want
1:04
to talk with and stuff but you don't
1:05
want to give them your real number with
1:07
the real prefix which would tell them
1:09
where you live or maybe you have
1:10
customers from across the globe you want
1:13
to give them a phone number but you
1:14
don't want to give your real phone
1:16
number there are many reasons why you
1:17
would want a secondary phone number like
1:19
this they can be suspended at any moment
1:21
you can delete them you can block them
1:23
you can basically get a new phone number
1:25
at any second while with a sim card you
1:27
can't i mean you can get a new sim card
1:29
sure but it's a whole procedure you have
1:31
to go to your carrier swap it pay for
1:33
another sim card and so on block the
1:35
other number while with dinktone you
1:36
just go in the application and get a new
1:38
phone number those are very good for
1:40
temporary or privacy phone numbers but
1:42
let's see at first if it works we have
1:44
here a website that allows us to call
1:46
any number we want i already have my
1:48
phone number ready so let me go ahead
1:49
here on my phone and as you can see i
1:51
have my phone screencasted to the
1:53
computer so you can see what i'm doing
1:54
and i'm opening the dingtone application
1:56
here you have your messages and stuff
1:58
like that your contacts you can call
2:00
whatever number you want it's going to
2:01
be an internet call or voiceover ip and
2:04
of course you can select which country
2:05
the number you're trying to call is and
2:07
they have the prefixes if you don't
2:08
already know it but you can type it
2:10
directly and you can see here how many
2:11
credits i have and so on then here you
2:13
can see my phone number but i can get as
2:15
many as i want however i already have a
2:18
canadian phone number valid for one
2:20
entire year you can continue after that
2:22
you can pay for another year and stuff
2:24
like that or you can just remove it and
2:26
this is their free credit thing there is
2:28
a daily checkup watching videos stuff
2:30
like that and you can get credits in
2:31
order to use the application if you
2:33
don't want to pay for a plan that's
2:34
actually quite neat a lot of games do
2:36
that they give you credits or gems or
2:38
whatever for watching an ad here you get
2:40
real credits for calling people so i
2:42
have a canadian phone number you can see
2:44
here it's my primary number and this is
2:46
basically the phone number for canada
2:48
but i can get another phone number for
2:49
basically any country i want the best
2:52
sellers are canada united kingdom
2:54
belgium and stuff like that last time i
2:55
chose united states but there are
2:57
numbers for romania denmark australia
3:00
czech republic puerto rico austria
3:02
sweden poland netherlands there are a
3:04
lot of numbers you can get depending on
3:06
where you want your number to be and to
3:07
somebody calling you it really looks
3:09
like you have a number from that country
3:11
now i would definitely not use these for
3:13
any sensitive stuff like signing in for
3:15
a social media account or whatsapp or
3:18
something or talking any secret stuff
3:20
like you know workplace secrets or
3:22
whatever i wouldn't use it for that kind
3:24
of stuff i would use it for like you
3:25
know normal conversations whatever
3:27
signing up for websites that you don't
3:29
want to give them the number but they
3:30
force you to when you sign up and stuff
3:32
like that some may refuse to use it some
3:34
websites do not allow this kind of
3:36
numbers but many do this is my phone
3:38
number and as you can see we can do call
3:40
forwarding if you want to to your actual
3:42
number or we can suspend this number
3:44
delete it and so on we can block calls
3:47
and messages if we get bombarded and of
3:49
course we also have the voicemail and
3:51
auto replay function if you want to
3:52
automatically reply to sms with
3:54
something you can do so there's also
3:56
voicemail for this so it's a real phone
3:58
number right in your pocket i'm not even
4:00
connected to my sim card it's in
4:02
airplane mode only the wi-fi is on let's
4:04
try to call this number though to see if
4:06
it works here we can basically specify
4:08
our phone number we want to call i'm
4:10
going to say canada and my phone number
4:12
is this one over here as you can see
4:15
it's basically the same number from here
4:17
i typed it over here and we're going to
4:19
call it and let's see what's going on
4:20
i'm going to move it to the side
4:24
all right it's calling
4:28
and as you can see my device has now a
4:31
call if i answer this call it's probably
4:33
going to create a lot of noise but i'm
4:36
going to do so anyway
4:41
yeah yeah that creates a lot of
4:43
interference because it's very close by
4:45
but you got the idea the phone number
4:47
works and you can actually place a call
4:48
which means that you can definitely have
4:50
a secondary phone number right in your
4:52
pocket all right so we tested being cold
4:55
but let's also test calling a number so
4:57
i'm going to go back here in dinktone
4:59
and i'm actually going to call apple
5:00
support so i'm going to paste their
5:02
number because i have it here and it's
5:03
from united states and i'm just going to
5:05
press call over here and select the
5:07
number i want to use the call and as you
5:09
can see it's my canadian number over
5:11
here so i'm going to use this one and
5:12
it's calling please wait while we
5:15
connect your phone call all right they
5:25
welcome to apple calls are recorded for
5:27
evaluation to train personnel and to
5:29
improve contact center technologies all
5:31
right i'm an automated system that can
5:33
handle complete sentences so tell me how
5:42
i wanna check out my icloud account
5:46
okay i'll get you right over to our
5:48
technical support department
5:50
all right so as you can see it works
5:51
pretty fine so that was a call directly
5:54
to apple support from dingtone now of
5:56
course with the free credits you don't
5:58
even have to buy the credits if you
6:00
don't want to the fastest way to get
6:02
credits is to connect brands or watch
6:04
videos over here but there is also a
6:06
daily checkup which basically gives you
6:08
some credit i'm gonna press here check
6:10
in now and as you can see it shows this
6:12
little thing it says i earned one credit
6:14
check back tomorrow and you can earn two
6:16
credits for posting on twitter or earn
6:18
20 credits per friend invited if you
6:20
don't want to pay for credits you can
6:22
definitely get them for free it may not
6:24
be as easy and you may not get as many
6:26
as paying for them but still they are
6:28
free they are enough to make a quick
6:29
phone call or send a quick sms message
6:31
or whatever they do have paid plans if
6:33
you don't want to put up with this you
6:35
can get 200 credits for 4.99 or the
6:37
largest package is 1 000 credits for
6:40
20.99 and you can remove the ads too
6:43
with 1.99 a month but yeah it's pretty
6:45
easy for you to basically get how much
6:47
you need you don't need to get like huge
6:49
packages of credits and stuff like that
6:51
let's check out the messages yes this is
6:53
how it looks like when you get messages
6:54
from somebody these are from the
6:56
dingtong team but yeah it says do you
6:57
want to block unwanted calls and of
6:59
course it allows us to block people if
7:01
you don't want calls from them and so on
7:03
there are some advanced features that i
7:04
found actually quite interesting one of
7:06
which is the walkie-talkie you go here
7:08
to advanced features walkie-talkie and
7:10
it's working exactly like a
7:11
walkie-talkie with your friends and then
7:13
there's also the conference call if you
7:15
want multiple people or you want to
7:16
start like some sort of meeting like a
7:18
zoom meeting but without video you can
7:20
do a conference call you can schedule it
7:22
for a specific time you can start with
7:24
instant meeting and create a conference
7:26
with up to one thousand callers so it's
7:28
actually quite a great and neat little
7:30
application now as i said while the
7:31
application works and while the phone
7:33
numbers are legitimate phone numbers
7:35
they may not work to sign in on some
7:37
websites so please don't use them for
7:39
that don't use them for sensitive stuff
7:41
like signing in for a bank account or an
7:43
apple id or whatever don't use them for
7:45
signing up for ids you can use them for
7:47
your discord group if you want to give
7:49
them your phone number but not your real
7:51
one and an important thing is that the
7:53
phone numbers do expire so for example i
7:55
have this phone number over here it says
7:57
in here that is valid until 24 april
7:59
2023 which means that if i don't renew
8:02
it i will lose access to it and it may
8:04
be attributed in the future to another
8:06
person so that's why i'm saying do not
8:08
sign up to any sensitive stuff with the
8:10
phone numbers but if you keep on
8:12
renewing them you get to keep them
8:13
forever so yeah definitely a great and
8:15
neat little application that seems to
8:17
work fine you can get it from the app
8:18
store it's available right here is this
8:20
application dingtone it search for
8:22
dinktone and it's actually quite popular
8:24
too they see here that it's been
8:26
released in 2012 and apparently in 2019
8:29
they had 100 million users which is
8:32
actually quite incredible but yeah
8:34
applications like this are actually
8:35
quite interesting because you can get a
8:36
secondary phone number and so on so this
8:38
is the application we can see pretty
8:40
good ratings there are some bad ratings
8:42
from people who don't know how to use it
8:43
and let their phone numbers expire and
8:46
then they were surprised that other
8:47
people got their number that happens
8:49
with normal carriers too if you don't
8:50
pay for your number they will terminate
8:52
your number and it will end up being
8:54
reused in the future so if you want to
8:56
keep your number you should definitely
8:57
keep in mind that you have to renew it
8:59
but yeah that's basically it that's
9:00
dinktone definitely check it out if you
9:02
need a secondary phone number or a
9:04
burner phone number and so on so thank
9:06
you for watching img snow peace out
