I like the idea, but it doesn't solve the problem of when your real number makes it onto call lists.

But I do like the idea of giving out a 1-900 number to people. It would certainly get some interesting reactions, depending on context.



There are few available phone numbers which aren't already on numerous telemarketing / robospam systems. Exhaustive wardialing is highly tractable.

I've had numerous recent mobile and/or office numbers beseiged by dunning and marketing calls, apparently aimed at earlier holders (if even targeted at all).


Is there even a list? I had assumed they were just umm...enumerating all the numbers.
