Need a disposable wireless phone number?

With this new offering, you will be able to provide a telephone number -- which can change regularly -- to people you meet and entities you do business with without divulging your regular, fixed phone number. To those that live off their cellphones without a landline (I do this), it's hard to "give out" your wireless phone number, well, on any form because you never know when that number will end up on a telemarketer's list.

With Tossable Digits, you'll be able to get a temporary telephone number for your wireless phone that basically forwards an incoming call to your regular wireless number -- behind the scenes, of course. This is a great service in my opinion -- for many reasons -- and I'm sure these stealth startups will find plenty of customers.
