Anyone else concerned?

What about using Grand Central? It's good!

I checked out GrandCentral and signed up.  Unfortunately, they are not accepting new members at this time.  Here is the message I received:

Your Reservation Has Been Confirmed

Thank you for your interest in GrandCentral. We will let you know as soon as we open up our service to more users. At that time you will be able to choose the specific phone number that you would like to use. We will make all possible efforts to ensure there are numbers in the area code or city you have selected, but there may be some areas where we won't have coverage. We'll do our best.

The GrandCentral Team

I would suggest that anyone that has private phone at this time, might want to at least reserve a spot at GrandCentral.

yeah...i definitely agree with everyone else..i signed up for privatephone and i haven't received more junk mail at home than usual...so just use privatephone.com and set up a seperate email for the junk email cuz there will be a lot of that..and even using privatephone i dont have that many messages so if you use your own phone and just screen them, you should be fine but if not use privatephone, its 100% free..just dont use it for somethin that requires a confirmation number, then you will need a real number so you can input the confirmation - with those i havent receive any extra calls....its just the schools and insurance ones that call back a lot so use privatephone for those...i dont know...i never answer my phone anyways unless i know the number so i dont really care

We get a boat load of direct mail regardless so I'm not concerned about giving out our home address.  Just my two cents.

i am receiving junk in the mail and phone calls as late as 10 p.m. they even call on Sundays, the other day i was so mad. my 6 mo. old had been sick for a week and hadn't slept well in days, then i finally got her to sleep (which means i can sleep too) then a telemarketer called and woke her up, i asked her to remove me from her calling list, she was soooo rude she said i could at least listen to why she called, what i am saying is if you use your real phone it will ring off the hook, and i think they're psychic because they always call at the worst time

This is why it sickens me that PrivatePhone is terminating its free service! When I go to listen to my messages on PrivatePhone it tells me what time these solicitors call me. I have had some call me at like 5:30am!! And then I have had call after call like every 10 minutes some days!! Imagine if that were my regular home phone! I would have gone mad!

Wife flipped on me after the 13th call one day... so I HAD to get a private phone and it has been a lifesaver.

anyone looking for an easy to set up free phone number can go to k7.net it is really easy to sign up and free to use. I got that for the offers I am doing on other GPT sites and I have not had any problems.

I love telemarketers. My Husband and I play with em a little. We will act interested in what they are selling and in the dead of the convo pass the phone back and forth between each other and ask them to repeat them selves LOL My dad and I did that once to one person and they never called back. Also since I have gotten Vonage I Never really get any calls to mess with them any more. The only calls I get now are from people I actually want to hear from. some marketers but the ones I want. I know that was bad to mess with them but hey they called several times before I did.

I've yet to have my phone solicited and i've been giving out my cell a lot to many places (not just this site), i'll look into a private phone but what about those websites where you have to get a text message confirmation.
