PrivateTel Offers Free Trial of MyPrivateLine, Providing People With Secure, Safe Method to Exchange Telephone Numbers
Newest Entry in Identity Management Services Sector Seen as Necessary to Meeting People and Staying Secure in the 21st Century
SAN FRANCISCO (May 3) – PrivateTel, an innovative new company focused
on privacy-oriented telecommunications solutions, has launched
MyPrivateLine, a new identity management service that provides people
with a way to receive phone calls while protecting their real phone
number. MyPrivateLine is launching their service with a promotion on
the MyPrivateLine.com web site that offers people a free trial period
in order to demonstrate its effectiveness for internet users who want
to safely exchange information with people they meet online.

Billed as “The Safe Way to Connect,” MyPrivateLine is a prepaid
telephone service that uses toll-free numbers to route all incoming
calls anonymously and safely to another, hidden phone number of each
user’s choice.  In this way, users of the service are protected from
divulging any personal or professional phone numbers to people who are
not fully known to them.

“With online dating services, social networking sites, chat rooms and
instant messaging, it is possible to meet dozens of strangers in a
short period of time, and you really have to be careful about divulging
personal information, especially your phone number,” according to Fred
Davis, CEO of PrivateTel and a noted expert on privacy in the digital
age.  “In addition, personal classified ads, auctions sites, and
e-commerce provide additional ways for your phone number to be
disclosed. The danger is that online telephone directories allow your
phone number to be used to locate your name, home address, and other
personal information that you may not want to reveal until you get to
know the other person better. In fact, Google has recently launched an
automatic tracing service that instantly provides a map and directions
to any phone number requested.  We are now offering MyPrivateLine on a
free trial basis because we want the public to see the value of this
cost-effective, confidential, disposable, and very necessary tool for
meeting people, making friends, and staying safe in the 21st century.”

MyPrivateLine is designed to be easy and safe to use with online
postings, text messages or print ads.  Taking mere seconds to set up,
customers can receive their own personal toll-free phone number, and
have that number forwarded to any other phone number they want. They
can also change the number the calls are forwarded to anytime, from
anywhere, and calls can literally follow them on the go (even
internationally).  MyPrivateLine also features a private voicemail
service to receive messages the user may not want left on the voicemail
or answering machine their calls are being forwarded to.

MyPrivateLine is offered as a pre-paid calling service that includes
toll-free access. Incoming call minutes are deducted from the account
balance. The call is free of charge to the caller, and the
MyPrivateLine customer can receive calls anonymously.  The customer may
“turn off” the phone number at any time. MyPrivateLine account
preferences can be managed online or via phone, using a prompt menu.

PrivateTel uses state-of-the-art telephony solutions deployed on the
NetworkIP web-integrated telecommunications platform that offers
best-in-class switching, computing hardware, data storage, and IP
networking with the capacity to handle 10 billion minutes per year.

During the trial period, users will receive 30 minutes of free
MyPrivateLine service.  For more information and to set up a free
trial, go to www.MyPrivateLine.com.
