Is there a way to get a free second phone number without needing a second phone?

I want calling and texting to a phone number other than my cell number, although I want to get notifications on my cell whenever I get messages. I definitely need inbound calls and messages, and outbound is strongly preferable as well. Ideally it should be able to come onto my cell phone and one other person's cell phone as well. I want a low cost, and free if at all possible. If you know of any such services please let me know. Thanks!

google voice is what I use.
@stound I tried Google Voice. Whenever someone made a call to my Voice number they got an automated message asking them to say their name and that Google Voice will try to connect them. Do you have that same message? And if so - is there a way to get rid of it? I’m afraid that might confuse callers
@Professional I think it says something like 'please wait while we try to find the google subscriber', for me it's mainly a throw away number that I can give to recruiters.
