I keep a phone number I never answer, with a voip provider I've used for decades. That number forwards to whatever number I care about. I give out only the movable voip number, never my physical cellphone number, when it comes to services.
This is what iNUM was supposed to solve. Sadly it didn't take off.
- RamRodification 6y agoDoes that mean you could be screwed if that voip provider disappears before you have time to change things? Or do you own the number somehow (like a domain name?) so that you can move it elsewhere in that situation? I know nothing about voip providers and this makes the setup sound scary to me.
- cik 6y agoYes, you'd be screwed if that happens. But it's significantly less likely that they're skiffed than a telco provider, given how they work. I know way too many people who have had the latter happen - and none the former.
