I grabbed one even though I have a GrandCentral number. This could come in handy when you really don’t feel like sharing your phone number with someone. Are you getting one?
The disposable phone number sounds great. Perfect for use in ads or one time use. I have to see if you can have 2 numbers at same time. One for ads and one for other uses.

Wonderful idea but maybe forgotten – “We are currently updating our infrastructure so we could continue to provide you FREE privacy numbers”
I think it’ll never get out of beta stage. To bad – the idea was very good.
