I did release my side projects at the end of 2017, but these are ever-evolving projects, so I am posting it here to show and tell for 2018 as well.<p><a href="https://callmeprivate.com" rel="nofollow">https://callmeprivate.com</a> - great for entrepreneurs, startups, and businesses; masks your real phone number behind a virtual number with incoming and outgoing call functionality.<p><a href="https://textmeprivate.com" rel="nofollow">https://textmeprivate.com</a> - same as above, but SMS-virtual numbers only.<p>I've since built a feature so you can now use the same virtual number on both services.<p>Since release about a month ago, I've had over 50 signups, about 5 paying customers, and a company in China just recently contacted me and wanted to purchase numbers from Text Me Private in bulk, in order to receive confirmations from various websites, but were unable to do purchase numbers, as I hadn't taken into consideration that when I released these products into the wild, that they would make it all the way to China in just a month. China doesn't use the traditional credit card system. So I've agreed to build it in if they could give me a few days to do so.<p>Never know.... something you create could end up around the world... and more importantly, could be very valuable to a company in another country.
