Don't Give Out Your Real Phone Number - Give Them One of Ours
DEDHAM, MA--(Marketwire - October 16, 2009) - RNK Communications®, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Wave2Wave® Communications, Inc., is a regulated telephone
company at both the state and federal level, recently launched MyTempNumber®,
its first mobile Smartphone application. The application is available on the
iPhone® App Store and can be downloaded through Apple® iTunes® and iPhone and
iPod touch® devices. Once downloaded, the application allows users to select
another US
phone number to ring to their cell phone or any phone they choose. RNK plans to
introduce MyTempNumber to all Smartphone operating systems in the near future.
MyTempNumber is currently pending review in the Nokia® OVI® store and, if
approved, will be available on Series 60 3rd edition and 5th edition smart
phones.
MyTempNumber allows users to choose a temporary number in the continental US
and have that number forwarded to their current cell or home phone. The
application is simple to use and offers users a private, safe and secure means
of passing out their telephone number. MyTempNumber is perfect for social
networking sites or for online advertising, when users would normally be
hesitant to give out their real phone numbers.
There are two versions of MyTempNumber: MTN Lite™ and MTN Pro™. MTN Lite
offers users a free, but limited experience with MyTempNumber, while MTN Pro
offers a full featured experience. The MTN Pro application costs a low $1.99
and the number lasts for thirty days. Within those thirty days, customers can
change their temporary number as often as they like and renew it at any time,
or multiple times, if they want to keep their number.
RNK plans to grow MyTempNumber into a complete suite of telecommunications
services and features. In this first release of the application users are able
to block individual callers they do not wish to receive by adding phone numbers
to a restricted list. Some features that are planned to be added in subsequent
releases are the ability to select multiple phone numbers, international phone
numbers, SMS/texting, private voicemail, and find me follow me call forwarding.
MyTempNumber will also provide outbound calling capabilities which, unlike
Google Voice™, will not restrict users from placing calls to certain
destinations.
"In developing new products and services, RNK has always focused on
incorporating next generation innovation into the universally familiar
telephone call," said Richard Koch, President of RNK Communications.
"MyTempNumber helps address customers' privacy concerns by providing them
not only with a temporary phone number, but also with a robust set of service
features," Koch continued. "What sets MyTempNumber apart from its
competition is that unlike Google™, for example, RNK is a regulated telephone
company with over 10 years experience providing telephone service. RNK can
provide underlying service functionality on its own, without any need to rely
on third party providers. This translates to higher quality service and
infinite possibilities for expansion."
