Anonymous, disposable telephone numbers that give you control over who can reach you and when.

@seren6ipity: Yes, you can now have a phone number that protects your privacy.<p>@soundsop: Yes, it is a subscription, but you can cancel anytime, and it's still pretty cheap. One phone number + 200 minutes a month for $8. And when you are done with it, you can cancel the subscription, no commitment.<p>@inovica: We do have a pool of numbers, but it is large. And to prevent reuse of a number that gets a lot of unwanted calls, we disconnect numbers for up to 25 days to cause traffic to subside, and if it doesn't, we don't reuse it.

I presume they just have a pool of numbers, so in theory you could end up with a number that's been used by 10 people who have posted it to a load of sites and then you'd receive those calls/messages. Unless I'm missing something (which is entirely possible!!)

I've long wondered why GrandCentral doesn't offer this feature; it sounds like a good fit.<p>As for TossableDigits, it looks like a feature masquerading as a company.

A beacon of privacy!

There doesn't seem to be one-shot pricing. Only a monthly subscription.
