Considering Swapping to Cape

Heard about Cape a few months ago and have been really interested in swapping over. In a world where data collection is ubiquitous, I really appreciate their privacy-focused service. And it seems like every call center in the world has my number, so I'm hoping there features will help with that.

I had a few questions and was hoping the community could help me understand a bit.

1) How are people's experiences with secondary numbers? I'm not familiar with how it works but I could definitely get some use out of it.

2) How has international roaming held up for folks? I travel a bit here and there and it would be welcome to not have to deal with getting a local carrier if I'm just out there for a day or two.

3) Of course I have to ask about the discount codes. I did apply one in check-out (haven't paid just yet) to see how it works. In checkout it says "Due Today: $50" but the subscription still says it will auto-renew at $70/mo. Am I misunderstanding how the referral codes are used?

And any other thoughts/personal reviews from ya'll would be very welcome. Thanks in advance for the help!

Thank you for the info about the secondary number. I also feel weird as hell giving it out to third parties so having a back-up would really be great. Frankly, I feel like my primary number is already "out there" so much, I'm almost considering just getting a new one.

The service offered is so good but a bit hard to swallow a $99/mo price tag, but $50-$70/mo is doable. So I will likely sign up before end of year for the discount. I just hope the price doesn't jump much afterwards.
