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.

You are very welcome and hope that people find this useful if they decide on using it. I am willing to try most things that are free.

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.

It is something that is relatively new and is useful for me since my cell phone is my only phone and do not want telemarketers calling and using my minutes.

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. :-)

I like it very much and you can take a look at it at http://www.privatephone.com It is free to use and like the fact that only my family and friends can only call me on my cell phone.
