Free Disposable Phone Numbers
You know, I only have 2 eyes so my favorite tips are the ones sent in by readers. This one comes from Jessica that recently happened upon a site named numbr. This site actually provides you with disposable phone numbers. I covered disposable email addresses previously, but the idea of a real throw-away phone number had me intrigued.
I looked into it, tried it and frankly it's pretty cool. As of today they support 23 US cities, block telemarketers and allows for parental controls. In addition this crazy thing lets you embed a link to your website allowing your blog or website readers to reach you without knowing your real phone number.
It's one of those things that I can't really explain in full. Here is a little snippet from their site:
Anonymity
Talk without sharing your real number!
Get a numbr in 23 cities in the US, and forward calls to any landline or mobile phone numbers
Disposable numbers
Set your numbr to expire in an hour, day, week or month. Additionally, you can expire your numbr before your opted limit. Say, if you sell your item in three days, why keep a numbr for a week?
24x7 Reachability
Inbound calls to your numbr will be forwarded to your first phone, and then to your second optional phone. If you are unavailable on both phone numbers, the caller can record a voice-mail, which will be sent to you on your e-mail. In all,
you can be reachable on your numbr for all calls - unless you have chosen to block off certain numbers, or the caller was a known telemarketer
Call-to-get™ numbr
You don't have to be on-line to get a numbr! In a bar and need one? Simply call: (415) 234-5678 and get a numbr!
Share that number with anyone. Calls to your numbr will be forwarded to the number you used to call from .. so, make sure you call from your mobile :)If you want to check this out, visit numbr.com.
