There’s one moral lesson we need to learn about using cellular phones. Never give out your phone numbers to strangers to protect your privacy. Be sure to give them only to your closest friends, family members, co-workers and other important contacts.
Experts suggest you get a free online voicemail account if you’re one who frequently needs to publish a phone number online. Or you can get the services of some companies that offer to protect your cellphone numbers for a very minimal monthly fee. Private Phone, for instance, gives you a local number and voicemail box which anyone can call. You can check your messages online or over the phone. RingCentral and Vonage also provide you with a local number and offer a range of business tools like online fax, voicemail and call screening.
To keep your anonymity, you can also activate your ID blocker through your call settings and find out if your phone will hide caller ID. You can call your service provider as well to learn how to ask for a private number.
