Couple of Usefel Cell Phone websites

www.youmail.com - This is a free service that allows you to create personalised greetings on your cell phone for anyone...your friends, family, etc. All your messages are accessible via the web. This service hijacks and replaces your existing phone's messaging service. You can also create a "ditch" message that basically just hangs up on people that you don't wish to talk to. I haven't used that feature but I guess it could be useful (bill collectors, the IRS?). The only downside of this service is that your phone's regular message notification no longer works and is replaced by either an email or a text message. Email isnt very useful if your arent connected to your email, and text messages cost $.

www.privatephone.com - with this service you can get a free, phone number and voice mail. This is a phone number you can give out if you don't wish to give your cell phone. It keeps you cell phone # private, cuz we know that once someone has your cell phone # it goes into their address book and it's there forever. Another use is you can get a number in a different city for work, or to be local to out-of-town friends and family.
