Starting May 31, T-Mobile users are going to be able to use their phone numbers in an entirely new way.

The new feature, known as DIGITS, is rolling out to all customers, the company said Thursday. It lets you connect all the devices you own to a single phone number — meaning you’ll be able to receive text messages and voice calls not just on your own phone, but to any other device you link with that number, such as a work phone or smartwatch. You’ll also be able to send and receive messages on a PC through a Web browser, T-Mobile said.
