Temporary Phone Numbers

A couple of days ago I told you about Temporary email addresses, well today I found you can also have temporary phone numbers all this stuff is new to me but it looks like a brilliant idea.

So why can this be a good idea?

This is a brilliant idea, its temporary if you run a small business this allows you to put your temporary phone number up on the internet allowing for people to call you but if you get a prank caller and they keep calling change it, you will still have your original phone number but the temporary one will be changed.

So what if you want to call them back?

It will display your current number it will not display your temporary number, unless you get them to call you and this can be done easily as well using Jajah, it’s a web activates telephony, it allows you to enter their number and make them call your temporary phone number.

This service I can see being good in some ways but it will also have its disadvantages for example if your looking at it from a social engineers point you will see that this can be used in a number of ways to get information, so it can be dangerous but lets make the most of it while we can.

So here are some sites which you can use http://www.jangl.com http://craigsnumber.com I would have to say looking at their capabilities I prefer Jangl as this actually allows you to call them without being known but in terms of being anonymous I prefer CragsNumber.com, but remember these aren’t for the UK so you might find your phone bill a lot unless you find a area code for your area.

I shall keep bookmarking the temporary phone number sites under my delicious page under phone http://del.icio.us/TyperTappers/phone.
