    I don't feel myself today
    Just a figure in a big monopoly game
    Struggle is the price you pay
    You get just enough just to give it away
    I'm sinking but I'm floating away
    Throw me a line so I can anchor my pain
    The fabric is about to fray

    I've never had any issues with my google voice number, texting or calling. It's the number I use strictly for all things camming related - even signing up for sites that require knowing my number. But then again, my boyfriend works for them in their security and control department, so that's why I feel just fine using it. Never had anyone figure out my real number from it, nor any spam to deal with. I'm still careful about whom I give it out to, but for the most part, I love it.

    There's other threads on this but basically, if you do not want your phone number to be seen, go to walmart or target and buy a pay as you go phone for $10 and a minutes card for around $30 and pay cash. You can then do a google voice number on that if you want.

    The reason why you do not want your GV number linked to your real phone number is because if you call someone on your google voice number, and THEY have a google voice number, your real number WILL show up. I have personally had this happen.

    Also, you cannot text out until they text you, which is a bummer. And something fishy has been going on with getting GV texts on my phone such that I now don't return GV texts because I'm worried that, like the previous example, it would show my real number.

    So, it's useful if you just want to receive calls, but I would be suspicious of any GV activity being linked to my real phone so I do not suggest it unless one is just starting out in the industry and doesn't have the forty dollars to spare yet on a throwaway phone.
    Ungoogle yourself:


    Also, now offering phone sexins!
