FWIW I've set up some disposable number like this guy via Flextel.
If ever I've been looking for a new contract I put a disposable number on my CV. When I get a contract, i disconnect and they cannot call again
- dredmorbius 13y agoAnd what's the point of that? Particularly when there are much more effective scripts to use, such as asking where your number came from, and requesting the TM not contact you and pass that request upstream. Or get a call-blocking app/service / Google Voice number (not that I care to feed Google any more personal data).
- lladoog 13y agoOn Flextel you can set 0871 numbers up to an auto-attendant menu, which means that robot auto-diallers just hang up, but real people can get through. They don't pay as much money though, but some 0871 numbers are free. I think you can also set a divert on anonymous caller (number withheld) You might be able to set two numbers to transfer to each other endlessly, unless the right pair of menu numbers is pressed.
