Shuffle

Introducing Shuffle, an app that provides you with disposable phone numbers and email aliases on a mobile device, managed with the tap of a button. You can use the phone numbers to protect your personal information. Call, text, and receive voicemail right from your smartphone just as you would with your regular number. Set up a number to be your “second phone line” or forward email from your disposable aliases to your regular inbox.

Folks today commonly use their smartphone as their work, home and mobile phone number. We often do the same thing with our email addresses. But sharing that personal information doesn’t always make sense. You need to protect your personal contact information from unscrupulous scoundrels. That’s where Shuffle is able to help.

Instead of posting your personal contact information to the web, use Shuffle to setup multiple virtual phone numbers that work with your mobile device. You can call, text, and email, without giving up your privacy. Remember, once someone has your number or email address, they have it from now on. And, they can share it with anyone.

Shuffle founder Craig Collett especially wanted to create an app that helps users with all of these concerns. “Individuals have the need to protect their personal privacy and keep different business and social aspects of their life separated,” he explains.

Here’s how Shuffle works: You can set up a variety of “shuffle” numbers and emails, and assign one for your personal contacts, another for social connections, yet another for work, and a different one for social networking sites. Shuffle could also make sense for vendors temporarily in an area who want to establish a local phone number.The list of uses goes on. If a phone number or email address becomes compromised in any way, you can simply delete it, which disables that number instantly.

Here’s how to use Shuffle:

Shuffle, with all its exciting privacy features, was developed in Austin through CabForward, and is now available in the iTunes store. The Android digital app is under development, and will be available soon. CabForward is pleased to be Craig’s strategic technology partner and expect his innovative app will better protect personal identities and provide greater security in this increasingly mobile culture.
