What a neat application. Initially invented for use on Craigslist, numbr provides a free number that will forward to the phone number of your choice. The additional options surprised me. For instance:
- You can pick a number from a selection of US cities
- If your number is unavailable you can enable voice mail messages to be emailed to you
- You can set it to not disturb you between 9pm and 8am in the US time zone of your choice
- You can enable Call Screening which requires the caller to leave a short message which you will hear before taking the call
- Your number will automatically expire in set increments of your choice (1 day to 1 month) but if you need your number beyond 1 month you can renew your number for free or if you want to expire it early you can do that too.
There aren’t even all of the features.
Aside from just using for personal online security purposes, this could be handy for fun store promotions, or maybe a contest of sorts.
