Anonymous or location shifted phone numbers gain popularity

A popular use of VoIP technology allows individuals and businesses to deploy phone numbers used for temporary or covert purposes. From job hunters to singles in the dating scene, "virtual phone numbers" serve a real purpose for many consumers who don't want to provide their real phone number. Businesses can expand their geographic presence by using phone numbers which are out of their region or even outside their home country, giving them them an appearance that they operate in markets outside their main location. These numbers are not always used with the best intentions and can be very temporary. In some cases, unscrupulous telemarketing firms use these numbers for short campaigns where they want to disappear at their convenience.

There are many other reasons why legitimate users want these numbers. For Example, let's say you live in Mexico City and your mom lives in Miami. Her area code is 786. You could get a telephone number in the 786 area code that rings to you in Mexico City. Now mom doesn't have to pay long distance charges when she calls you. For businesses, giving a client a local number to reach you can make it easier for them to communicate and provide a higher level of customer service. Like other technologies, there is always room for abuse. In the case of temporary phone numbers, the benefits for those with good intentions outweighs the bad.

Many mobile phones are VoIP enabled for free

Many telecom resellers and consumers don't realize that their existing mobile phone/PDA might already allow for VoIP calls using free client software such as Articulation for Palm, Fring for Windows Mobile and a Nokia application designed for the e60, e70 and n80 mobile phones. Using a mobile phone as a User Agent for your VoIP calls is now easier than ever with simple VoIP configuration guides to help you get your clients up and running fast.

In the ever-changing global business environment, the ability to communicate with those outside of a user's home country becomes very important. Until now, making and receiving international calls from a cell phone was cost prohibitive. With VoIP applications which run on many popular mobile phones, the world is becoming smaller in the sense of easy communication. Add to that the ability to have localized phone numbers in other countries and your users will be able to increase their ability to do business with far away locations at a reasonable cost.
