Has anyone tried using privatephone? If so, do you like it or not?

I started using privatephone a few weeks ago and I like it very much as I am able to avoid telemarketing calls plus I do not want to give my cell phone out. Whenever I sign up for something, I give my privatephone number which is a voicemail service that is free. Saves me minutes on my cell phone.

Are you talking about a landline phone?? Do the phone company provide that? Let me know.I might need to look into that.I have a landline and a cell.

Privatephone is not a landline phone but a voicemail service that gives you a number for free that you can give to other people or companies. When they call, it will ring like a regular phone but you will not hear it on your cell or regular phone. When you receive a message, you will receive a email or a beep on your cell phone. Http://www.privatephone.com is the site that I found this service.

I have never heard of it before. Thanks for sharing the info with us. I saved the page to show it to my husband to see what he thinks of it.

I never heard of this privatephone before, it must be new. How long ago did it come out?!! I feel like I live in the stone age or something. There are things that come out all the time and I don't know much about them, I got to get with the game.

It is fairly new, maybe a month or two old at the most and I found out about it because it is part of my netzero email account. I think it came out first for netzero members but anybody can use it that is listed in their directory. I am sure there are things out that I am still not aware of too so don't worry about that. :-)
