Default Pre-Paid Phones

Hey Yall! Everything is going well here.. Started up a myspace page and the requests just came a floodin' (well.. not a floodin.. maybe a seepin'..) in.. Since I dont feel comfortable (for many reasons.. mostly those common sense) want to post my PERSONAL cell phone # all over the internet.. I was wondering.. Do you think a pre-paid cell phone would be viable as a 'business' phone line?

I wouldn't put ANY phone number on myspace!!!

But, if it's just for regular business purposes, I don't think you have much to be worried about.

I've got my business cell phone number all over the internet (RN# database, state incorporation documents, trademark application, etc.), and have never had a problem.

I would have recommended numbr to you (numbr:: Auto expiring. FREE anonymous phone numbers for online safety.) but they aren't allocating any more.

You could try registering a VoIP telephone number, that's what we use at work. Plenty of places offer them for free and use a PAYG model - a heap more professional that using a mobile number.

Just watch out where you put your number; the last thing you want is a bunch of ads and telemarketers trying to convince you to get new windows for your house : )

What about: GrandCentral: The New Way to Use Your Phones, you could get a free phone number and then direct it to an existing one.

Skype (voice over phone from your computer) has phone numbers that you can get that people can dial in and call. You can answer and talk while you're at your computer.

You can use their service for free too (without the phone number): Skype official website – free download and free calls and internet calls

Why not just get a phone line that you can transfer out to your cell phone whenever you want.

It's pretty simple to do. I think the phone line would be about $25.00 a month through your local carrier and then when you leave the house, you can transfer it out.

That way your cell phone number is not on any telemarketing lists constantly getting attacked.
