I don't get it... I'd rather prefer unlimited phone numbers for some of my phones. What if you give your phone number to the wrong people? They'll keep calling

What if you give your phone number to the wrong people? They'll keep calling you. You might be able to filter out some, but they can always call from another number (think phone spam).
I'd rather have the option to generate new phone numbers and give one number to each person / 'community'. Then if I quit my job I can just filter away all people calling me on my job number.
That's also why people use multiple email addresses, or plus addressing.
- Xichekolas 18y agoExcept your standard 10 digit phone number scheme only allows 10 billion numbers... which isn't exactly a big enough space to allow you to generate new phone numbers whenever you want. The idea is kind of cool though... like generating one-time-use credit card numbers for dodgy e-commerce sites.
- robotrout 18y agoI've been on Grand Central for a couple of years, I think. It has a feature where I can blacklist phone numbers. You even have a choice to play a "number disconnected" message to those callers. I have some head hunters from florida (I'm in Oregon) that got me in their database and wouldn't quit calling me. They now get the "number disconnected" message.
