Hide From Creeps With RingShuffle’s Extra Phone Number [Daily Freebie]

By

Ever faced with one of those situations where you need to give out your phone number, but you feel a bit iffy about doing it? RingShuffle is a free app that’s ideal to have on your iPhone for exactly those occasions.

It works pretty simply: Pick one of three numbers RingShuffle makes available to you, and give that number out; you can even pick a number from a different area code. Then when someone calls your RingShuffle number, it’ll automatically be forwarded to your iPhone — with the other side none the wiser.

The number will expire after a week, but you can renew the number, or grab a completely different one. The only problem is that you can’t call out with the number. Oh, and you might want to change your voicemail message if you announce your number.
