1 edit | said by NJxxxJon:DAMMIT! does this include.... www.privatephone.com ? ? ? ? ? Privatephone appears to be part of the Netzero Voice feature set. So, while the Netzero Voice termination FAQ doesn't specifically mention Privatephone, my guess is that Privatephone will be discontinued as well.

I'm not a big fan of grand central...especially since they've been swallowed by Google. I'd rather use Jangl, Jaxtr and YouMail.
I never really used my PrivatePhone but sure the hell would like to keep my number...225-7878  PrivatePhone's website always looked so cluttered and ugly and full of flashing and gyrating ads.
AIM Phone Line works exactly the same as PrivatePhone and I trust AOL more than I do Netzero....not as much spam, better looking websites...and I already have a scree name/email account so I don't have to bother with managing yet another useless webmail account just so I could use PrivatePhone.

So, while the Netzero Voice termination FAQ doesn't specifically mention Privatephone, my guess is that Privatephone will be discontinued as well. I read over the FAQ and I am not too sure that PrivatePhone will go away. NetZero voice provided an add-on service to allow call forwarding and dialout. However, I have the most basic version of PrivatePhone that forwards all calls to voicemail and has no dialing options. As that feature is independent of NetZero voice I suppose it might be able to survive. I am kind of surprised that NetZero has not clarified this.

Re: Privatephone doesn't look like it's going too. It does look like Privatephone lives, at least for now. Check out this link in the VOIP Forum: »NetZero/PrivatePhone discontinuing Voice Service |

Re: Privatephone doesn't look like it's going too. How did you get that out of that thread? NZ Voip is going away 15 Dec 2007, and, for all intents & purposes, that includes PrivatePhone.com. Why do you think NZ has a page devoted to porting existing members to Packet 8? If the service was not going away, that page you pointed out yourself would not exist. The way I read it is if you want to continue service, start coughing up $19.99/month to Packet 8. Looks like I have to give Grand Central a try now, dammit.  |

| Private Phone according to NZ and PP's website is not closing nor hints about it with the NZ VoIP. They're separate services. |

I've grown really attached to my voicemail freebie. It's the the # I give to entitities I know will sell my contact info and otherwise bother the shit out of me. Let them leave voicemail until they run outta breath.  |

| Ya, I use privatephone as the voicemail box for my VoIP service (because the voicemail service bundled with my VoIP service is unusable).
