Free Phone Number

Recommended Posts

I started using this service a while back and just wanted to pass on the information to everyone here. This is the address for the site www.privatephone.com/ So what I did was sign up for like 4 accounts and record a voice mail talking about the property. Then I can track the phone numbers because it has a caller ID function and email me as soon as I get a call. Now I don't have to pay for an 800 number anymore and can cut back on my cell.....Well I hope some of you find this helpful.

They say it is not for business use, have you had any problems with the service because of that?

 

TIA

You're welcome WestCoastGirl :rolleyes:

 

Here's another FREE voice mail I have used for a lil' over a yr which is my favorite!!

This one has local phone numbers and is located close to my area, but just recently this service

was bought by Google.

Google is now adding so many exciting new features to it that amazes me! (free account)

They've even added a global button which you can put on your ads or webpages for people to call you for FREE!

What I understand by reading the global button (see below) is that even if your phone number is long distance

for the caller, it will be a free call for them if they click on the button to call you. :huh:

You can also have several phones and greetings for different callers (personal, biz, friends, family, etc all in one place) and

You can video email anyone online for free!

Will this be free for ever now that Google has it? I've no idea. But it is in beta right now :)

 

Anyway, if you're interested and once you go to the page to check this free voice mail out, you will be asked to reserve your phone number

Choose your area code and enter your email address (click the reserve button).

Google will then notify you via email within 24 hours or so telling you that your phone number is now ready

and to sign up and set up your new phone account. That's It.

 

This is what the global button looks like that you can put on your ads or

webpages for people to call you for FREE!

of how this service works

 

Here's the page to reserve your phone number

 

Have FUN!!!

 

BEV! :wub:

Nice find, Bev!

 

But I dunno...

 

I'm not sure if I want my cell phone and home phone to ring every time

someone calls my universal #.

 

Besides, I'm able to check my voice mail from

any phone by dialing my voice mailbox #.

 

Plus, it's not very convenient to check my voice mail

on the internet, when I could simply check them

from my phone.

 

Also, isn't it just another phone # to give out and

for folks to remember?

What would be the point in having the cell # now?

 

I know you listed the many benefits, and

maybe I'm missing something,

but what could convince me to give it a try?

Any specific/personal reasons you use on a daily

basis to make life easier?

 

Thanks!

 

 

*Not trying to bash your find, Bev.

I'm just trying to see the benefits and justify

a certain southern feller getting this.

I'm doing more research and watching reviews

online. :wacko:

Ok.

I'm back.

 

After zooming through some critiques

and videos about GrandCentral, I'm

"seeing the light".

 

So far, I'm liking the:

 

1. Ability to screen an incoming call whenever

you pick up.

Do I want to answer it? Do I want them to leave me a

voice mail? If it's that hot chick I met earlier, do I want to

listen as she is leaving the voice mail? --->yes

 

2. Ability to switch phones.

I get a very weak to no signal at my house (& within a 3 mile radius).

So if I get an important call from said hot chick and want to talk to her,

rather than listen in on her leaving me a voice mail, I can switch it

to my home phone.

 

Not too shabby.

I've reserved me a # and will be looking into this further.

 

 

Here's some videos:
