I don't see anything that says you can make OUTGOING calls with this Burner app. If that was true, then I'd be a bit worried about the issues you mention, but because there is actually a cost to creating every one of these numbers, telemarketers and spammers probably aren't going to use something like this very much. Also, if not for the temporary-email sites I'd never sign up for anything online. Ever. So I'm very thankful for them; mailinator rocks!
Can anyone confirm or anti-confirm that it's possible to make "disguised" outgoing calls?
It would be a fairly limited tool if it didn't.
I really like this app idea. People automatically assume nefarious or lecherous purposes, but even when you've just met someone in a legitimate setting, you don't really know them yet. Whether it''s a date, a business deal, a co-worker, or whatever, it would be a nice bit of peace of mind to be able to use a number that you could just turn off if they turn out to be stalker-ish.
And still not available in the UK. However I was able to find another app which does the same job and it does it very good! It's called Bayanumba - http://www.bayanumba.com.
I stumbled upon this app last night and installed it just to see how it works and its really pretty cool. People with n[B][B][B][/B][/B][/B]egative intentions dont need an app to make those negative intentions happen,they can make a negative situation out of just about anything so lay off the app and let people judge it for themselves.

You can probably do this from a browser on your phone, but from your desktop browser, you can do this for any phone, not just smartphones.
As far as I know, it allows you to receive calls at the temporary number, but it won't mask outgoing calls.

I was greeted on that site by a giant picture of a woman cringing. That's the last time I'll ever consider this site at any time for any purpose.
Letters mean numbers, or did you forget that?
I’ve never liked that setup. Hex phone numbers on a brand new phone system (with ALAC audio streams) would be better.
