BeeMask is a free calling service that allows you to safely (and privately) talk to people you meet online
What Company Is Offering:
BeeMask is a free calling service that allows you to safely (and privately) talk to people you meet online. It's the perfect place to transition from chat (or any online conversation) to phone calls… the place to transfer Internet connections to the real world. Need a real phone call, without giving away your phone number. BeeMask is your answer, and it's free to use.
How It Works:
You and the person you want to speak with register for BeeMask accounts (which is free, quick and easy to do). Then, you agree on a Beeword (like ‘tryingitout'). You each type this Beeword in to the top of the BeeMask.com page (on the same time)… when the second Beeword is entered, a phone call is connected between your real-life phones. Your contact details are kept strictly confidential, and after you hang up, the other person won't be able to call you back (unless you both type in a new Beeword on the same time). To get started? Simply register for free. A Beeword is a keyword that you and the other person decide on to start your phone call. Use chat, IM, email or any online conversation to decide which word to use (it can be 6-14 letters or numbers), then type it in on top of the BeeMask.com page at the same time. You'll be connected through your real-life phones for free. The Beeword only works once (so the other person can't use it to call you back), but you can decide on a new one if you'd like to talk again.
If you're having trouble thinking of a good Beeword, try choosing one that fits with how you met. If it's online dating, try something like ‘findtruelove.' If you met on an online travel forum, use something like ‘parisfrance.' You get the idea. Have some fun with it!
