NumberGarage launches to park and forward your phone number

I had a note in from Matt Mikulla this morning telling me about his new service, NumberGarage.

It’s beautifully designed — the service makes we want to sign-up and be a customer, just by looking at the front-page.

This is a service for Americans, only. Although I definitely reckon Matt should see if they can extend the service internationally.

Over to Matt for an explanation:

I just wanted to tip you off on our phone number parking and forwarding service NumberGarage, http://www.numbergarage.com .We allow the customer to control the phone number and choose what to do with it similar to a domain name. Many folks use the service in combination with Google Voice or when moving area codes. There’s a million reasons.

I’d love to know what ideas and opinions you have regarding NumberGarage.

I think the reason most relevant to me would be if I wanted to keep my number if I was planning to move home/mobile service provider. I can then sit on the number if I like, before moving it to another provider when convenient — or I can simply have it forward to another number. Brilliant! I reckon I’d find NumberGarage hugely, hugely invaluable.

Nice one.

Have a look and tell me what you think?
