Your idea seems to build on what people often do with virtual, credit card numbers. They use different numbers for different businesses. If they get ripped off, they can narrow down which business was used for that.

On top of that, different points of contact might also have different, response policies. Like your existing customers vs targeted leads vs random people. You’d really want to know which were calling you.

Precisely. I'd love that same level of virtualization but for calls.

Just saw your other thread (but can't respond on it). We offer a similar service, no need to share your number. Add a call now button to the website, user clicks on it and you can take the call on your laptop/cell phone/PBX/browser. If not, call goes to VM (and you are sent an email with the message).
