Terrorism and telemarketers? Yeah RIGHT! You can use Vumber to counter-act telemarketers, stalkers, scammers and all sorts of miscreants. Fresh of FL, you're not thinking straight.

I don't see how the above comments are relevant. The vast majority of telemarketers just block their numbers anyway. Vumber has a feature wherein you can block all unknown phone numbers from even ringing your phone. That feature alone is worth $5/month. You can also set up the vumber with a whitelist, so only certain numbers will make the phone ring. All these features SHOULD be standard in cellphones, but aren't.

Grandcentral is not the same thing, as it just gives you a number that will ring a whole bunch of phones. You can't "hide behind it."

This will make caller ID meaningless.. stalkers and phone nuts will have a field day.. phone scammers are doing cart wheels. But if you have to have one Google has a service in Beta that is free.

Although the hiding of phone numbers may seem a benefit, it is anything but. Rather, it is a tool created for acts of terrorism and home invasion by marketers whereby the prey actually has to pay for the invasion.

It is time that we find these companies who produce these programs and put them into detention centers to awit execution at the earliest date for crimes against the American people. This may appear to be slightly hard; but, the world of spam, the use of obtaining real phone numbers, the use of gaining info about you at your expense is running rampid. The users have no morals, and the companies who sell these covert attacks against America assume total responsibility
