Jan 2	comment	How should I safely display my phone number on my Website? If you feel you can't trust then purchase a sip configuration file and setup your own voip server using asterisk for example. You could then do a redirect with some voip antispam feature to avoid abuse. Sip configuration file cost about 50$ CAN and an asterisk server can run on a 20$ pentium 4 machine. If you wish to get a better encoding you can do so by purchasing a encoding licence to Digium. Those kind of config run smoothly even using 3g vpn as when setup properly the encoding can works great at as low as 100 kb/s. In other words, it could run over 3g in the back of your trunk lol

Pattern recognition, vocal, visual (dynamic/static) has been broken several time. Much of the time it become a pain for the end-user, because they are a pain to decipher. Cultural reference or social pattern could be proven useful, achieve the same purpose and be less annoying for your customer.
