Find Any Phone Number with Name and Address Worldwide!…

I agree that GrandCentral is great. Jaxtr just posted some really impressive numbers.

The two services are different in small ways based on the embeddable widget and way they handle blacklisting. Blacklisting in GC doesn’t stop them from calling your number on another line. Jaxtr doesn’t give up a number to call on another line since it’s a click to call service. Jangl has unique numbers based on a connection between two people’s phones. Cancel the number, and then need to generate a new one and get approved to contact you again.

Jaxtr and Jangl are also VOIP services, meaning they give you lower long distance calling rates by bridging long distance calls over the internet.

@bdb–in response to your question “who wants to talk to someone that can’t be trusted with a phone number,” think about an instance when you might want to sell something on craigslist or ebay? You certainly want buyers to be able to contact you, but you might not be comfortable posting your phone number on the listing….the possibilities are endless

These are going to be hard costs to overcome anywhere but the US (where you can dial a 712 number and make $.02/min) for a free service.

I’m not much of an international traveler (once per year maybe), so maybe this isn’t for me.

If you are directly affiliated, Jaxtr should partner with the travel_focused_social networks I have recently seen mention of elsewhere, as there seems to be target market overlap.
