RingMeMaybe is a disposable phone number app allowing users to create temporary phone numbers which expire in a week.[1][2][3] The app is designed to solve the privacy issues in person-to-crowd mobile and person-to-person engagement.[4] RingMeMaybe is a trademark of yourVirtualSIM Inc., headquartered in San Francisco, California.[5]

History

RingMeMaybe is developed by Alex Botteri and Ferréol de Soras, co-founders of yourVirtualSIM Inc. The app was launched on 13 May 2013.

The app generates temporary US phone numbers which expire after 7 days by default. If users need any number for longer than a week, they can renew it each week indefinitely.
