Whenever you sign up to a website, you have to give your e-mail address and sometimes even your phone
number.
This information could be shared to third parties and used to track or spam you.
I think there's no one that has never received a spam or a commercial phone call.
A solution to this problem is a temporary e-mail or phone number for each non-essential service you
want to use.
Let's start talking about temporary e-mails and then we'll go ahead to disposable phone numbers and
second phone number, EPP's.
Let's suppose you want to access a new forum, a gaming community, a magazine or a news site, and
to do that you have to sign up and provide an e-mail address to avoid tracking and correlations with
your Web history and other Web sites you have visited where you've used the same e-mail address.
You should use a new one.
Of course, you can create some temporary free e-mail accounts, but you are limited because you cannot
create hundreds of e-mail accounts.
And the many e-mail providers, including Gmail, require a phone number and do not permit too many
accounts using the same phone number.
The solution to this problem is really simple.
There are lots of services that offer temporary or disposable e-mail addresses.
Tampa, male and gorilla male are only two of such services that work at the moment.
Disposable e-mail addressing or dark mail.
OK, first one approach where a unique e-mail address is used for every contact entity or for a limited
period of time.
The advantage is that if anyone compromises your e-mail address or utilizes it to send you spam, the
other sonar can easily dispose of it without affecting any of their other contacts.
This is a powerful antispam weapon.
Take a look at guerilla mail, dotcom.
This is a temporary e-mail address, and I can use it as a throwaway e-mail note that the access to
the inbox is possible without authentication.
In fact, anyone can read it.
If I want, I can use other domains or even other name before the Eppstein.
This is my temporary e-mail address, and I can use it as a throwaway e-mail if somebody else has already
created it.
The other person can access the inbox as well.
For example, I'm sitting a common name, let's say Johnny.
Nice.
These are the e-mails that Johnny at Shark lacerates about Combe has received.
These are one time throwaway e-mails.
Let's suppose I want to create a new account on a website to access some content and I'll choose BBC
that's GEODETIC.
I've chosen it randomly.
And they want to sign in.
I don't have a BBC account, so I'm creating a new one, I'm over 16.
I'll choose a random date of birth.
And a temporary e-mail address, lix, use a temporary address from Temple DataCash, for example.
This one.
I'm copying it to the clipboard.
And I've used a random password and I click on register.
Now they want me to check my email address to verify the account.
And the e-mail is already in my inbox.
This is the message that I've received from BBC, that U.K. and I can click on verify your e-mail address
to get verified.
Great, I'll never use that email again, I just wanted an email address to sign up.

I'll show you what to do to better protect your phone number and your privacy.
