Cute boy meets pretty girl. Boy asks for girl’s phone number, but girl was afraid boy may turn out a weirdo. But he IS cute, and she DOES hope to keep in touch.
Tough decision, but not anymore with Private Phone.
Launched by Internet provider NetZero, you can get your very own disposable phone number from Private Phone. The price tag - FREE!
You won’t need an extra phone line, as your disposable number works with your existing number. Simply sign-up online, select the area code and number and you’re done. When people call your disposable number, they’re forwarded to a voicemail automatically, and you’ll get an email or text message notification. You can then retrieve online or by phone.
Need more than one disposable numbers? No problem. Open multiple accounts and close them whenever you like. The best part (did I mention this service is FREE) is that the callers won’t even know they’re not reaching your real number! Each voicemail account can only hold 10 messages, so do keep it clear to keep receiving calls.
Alright, there are other uses of disposable numbers that can come in handy:
- On classified ads
- When you sign-up with certain Web sites, in case they share the number you provided
- Post on your Web site or blog
