Paltalk. "By providing access to the Vumber app, we are allowing Android users
to stay in touch even easier and much less expensively."

Vumber
is a virtual, disposable phone number service that lets subscribers choose an
additional phone number that can be linked to any existing phone. This allows
customers to make calls while maintaining the privacy of their phone numbers.
Vumber is often used by small businesses that need to have separate lines for
business and personal calls, but rather than having two cell phones can now
have multiple numbers on a single device. Paltalk acquired the company in
November 2009.
The Vumber Mobile app will continue to
add functionality designed to provide users with a complete mobile
communications experience via WiFi networks. The next update will feature SMS
functionality, enabling users to text one person or groups of people at a time
from any of the virtual numbers stored in their app. Users will also be able to
update social network channels like Twitter through the app via SMS. For more information about the Vumber Mobile Application, please visit http://www.vumber.com.
