Re: Caution on giving out Phone Number when filling out forms

Another email trick, for sites that you actually need to get a one-time email from (if they're going to require you to click a registration link from a confirmation email, for instance) is http://mailinator.com/. You don't even need to go there to create an account first. Just use yourname@mailinator.com, or any other random address, say, assad9qrqrjqf9hq4fi4q4jqf994@mailinator.com, click submit, and then mosey on over to the mailinator website, enter the email address that you used in the form on the front page, and it'll take you straight to an inbox for that account.

You wouldn't want to use it for emails that might contain personal information, of course, but it works great for annoying sites that require a valid email address for whatever silly service they're offering, just so they can spam you later.
