T-Mobile DIGITS. I got a free line like a year ago, I use it when companies want to be dickbags about not accepting voip number use (because it is still one but shows up as a mobile carrier)
- mehrdadn 8y agoWhat does DIGITS buy you? You still have to hand out your actual number right?
- joecool1029 8y agoIt's a VOIP number that shows up as a mobile number. So no, you don't have to hand out your primary number. You can create a new one there and use that for junk companies.
- mehrdadn 8y agoOh, you mean the one that costs $10/month extra? :\ And doesn't solve the problem of already receiving spam calls...? It seems like basically just buying a new line?
- joecool1029 8y agoAs I said, I got mine for free. I don't know what they currently charge. It is supported by their Scam block service (which is free and can be enabled by shortcode): https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4041#fourthheading https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4041#fourthheading
- mehrdadn 8y agoYou probably got it for free because you were a T-Mobile ONE Plus customer (likely already paying a lot) [1]... otherwise it's an extra $10/month. And either way it wouldn't even solve the problem of getting too much spam at your current number... [1] https://www.t-mobile.com/news/digits-launch https://www.t-mobile.com/news/digits-launch
- joecool1029 8y agoNah, I'm Simple Choice NA. Spam's reduced, not eliminated with that shortcode. Either way you asked for a VoIP number you could sign up to use places that don't allow them. That's what I originally answered.
