Callers Stay Connected and Protected At All Times

    NEW YORK, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Vumber (www.vumber.com) today announced
the launch of its secure, disposable two-way calling service. The service can
be used to protect an existing phone number and provide subscribers with
privacy, control and freedom when providing a phone number.
    Vumber provides subscribers with a safe and secure means of connecting
with the outside world via a regular telephone. Subscribers can create
multiple phone numbers in an area code of their choice and associate those
numbers with any phone.
    Subscribers can use Vumber to protect themselves in their virtual lives
when using online dating websites, social networks, and online job and message
boards, as well as filling out everyday online forms, such as credit card
applications, email lists and making online purchases.
    Subscribers can also use Vumber to project a specific image for themselves
or their business. For example, an entrepreneur can set up multiple phone
numbers in different area codes to increase the perceived size of a business.
Callers can dial into a Vumber in LA, NY or Miami to name a few. The Vumber
service can be used in many ways and is limited only by the user's
imagination.
    How Does Vumber Work?
    Vumber is your virtual phone number. The service enables subscribers to
choose an additional phone number that can be linked to any existing phone
number. Subscribers pick an area code (most markets are covered), and Vumber
will then assign a seven digit phone number in the area code of choice. Calls
can be made to and from a Vumber at any time. All calls made to your Vumber
will ring on your regular phone. Customers can also change their Vumber at any
time.
    To make a call, simply dial your Vumber, and then dial the number that you
wish to call. The recipient of the call will only see your Vumber on their
caller ID. When callers dial your Vumber, you answer your call normally and an
automated prompt will ask you to press 1 to accept the call.  No PCs or
special phones are required.  The entire process is similar to using a regular
phone.
    Every Vumber has a unique voice mailbox. Messages can be retrieved from
the system just like any other voicemail system. Incoming calls placed to your
Vumber never reach your regular voicemail. Subscribers can also set up
multiple personal mailboxes.
    The service is fully customizable. Customers can also change the way
incoming calls are handled by setting commands, which automatically send calls
to voicemail, play busy signals or do not ring. Vumber subscribers can also
set up an automated message to inform callers that the number is no longer in
service.
