Duet Display makes a tablet, a phone or a spare laptop behave as a second monitor for your Mac or PC. Former Apple engineers built it, and the thing they got right was latency: dragging a window across to the iPad feels like moving it to a real display rather than watching a video of one. On supported iPad Pro models it runs up to 4K at 60 frames per second, with gesture support, a full set of resolution options, customisable shortcuts and Touch Bar handling.
The practical case writes itself for anyone who has worked from a kitchen table. A laptop screen fills up fast once a spreadsheet, a browser and a call are competing for it, and carrying a monitor is not an option. An iPad that already lives in your bag becomes the second screen instead, holding the reference document while the work happens on the main display. Illustrators use the touch layer differently again, turning the tablet into a drawing surface wired straight into desktop software.
Two connection modes cover the rest. Duet Air runs the display wirelessly over your local network, so no cable crosses the table. Duet Remote reaches a machine over the internet from anywhere, which turns the same app into remote access to your own desktop when you are away from it. Duet AI sits on the extended screen and answers questions, summarises documents and drafts messages without you leaving what you were doing. The Pro plan gathers those up at 24.99 dollars a year.
Setting up an account confirms a phone number by SMS. It is the account that carries your licence across devices, and the number afterwards picks up the usual software vendor traffic: renewal notices, release announcements and upgrade offers. Take the confirmation on an additional number and those messages keep to their own line. It reaches you inside your 5SIM order, while your licence and paired devices stay in your Duet account.
How to buy a virtual phone number for Duet Display
Pick Duet Display from the service list on 5SIM. The countries currently holding numbers for it load next. Choose one and the operators serving that country and service pairing appear.
Every operator line carries price, available quantity and SMS delivery rate together. Weigh all three rather than sorting on price. Low stock behind a weak recent rate usually means a second attempt, which costs more than the cheaper line saved.
Your number lands in the active order as soon as you buy. Enter it in the Duet Display phone field, request the SMS, and the message arrives in that same order window. Orders stay live for roughly 15 to 20 minutes.
If nothing comes through, cancel the unused active order and the payment returns to your 5SIM balance right away. An unused order left to expire refunds on its own.

Pros of using temp numbers for Duet Display
