Ccube has announced that its over-the-phone social network lets Craigslist users talk to anyone instantly, while remaining completely anonymous. Craigslist users need only include their Ccube usernames or “Call me on Ccube” buttons to speak directly with potential buyers or romantic partners without revealing their real phone numbers.

“Craigslist is a ‘community catalyst’ that contributes real value to our community,” said Mahesh Lalwani, CEO of Ccube. “At Ccube, we want to strengthen this bond by making it even easier for Craigslist users to get connected. Our new click-to-call feature and ‘Call me on Ccube’ buttons are designed to help create a searchable, single degree of separation for Craigslist users based on their common needs and interests - from selling products and services to finding a date.”

When using Craigslist, Ccube’s new service helps you quickly connect with and screen potential providers with the click of a button. Ccube lets users promote their own “Call me on Ccube” button or personal URL right on their Craigslist post or profile, making it effortless and instantaneous for people to contact you with job offers without ever typing an email or risking sending their personal contact information.

Many people look to Craigslist to simply introduce themselves to a new community or find romance in the personals section, however, it can be difficult to feel comfortable sharing your phone number or email address with someone you have not met. Because users exchange Ccube usernames instead of personal contact information, Ccube offers a safe and private way to locate others with similar hobbies or search for a soul mate. As part of the connection process, Ccube even allows you to listen to brief recorded greetings of matching members. By hearing their voice greeting first, you get a better feeling about that person before deciding to make contact.

It’s easy to get started with Ccube. New members visit ccube.com to create a user account, record a voice profile and upload a photo. After signing up for Ccube’s service, simply enter a combination of preferences and search criteria to help identify members with similar interests. Ccube even keeps track of whether or not fellow members are available to receive incoming calls, by allowing them to add preferred contact times to their online profiles. Once you’ve found an available member and are ready to talk, Ccube will connect the call for you, thereby ensuring that members never see each other’s phone numbers. The recipient’s Caller ID will display the Ccube number and you are ready to begin making new connections.

Ccube currently offers both free and subscription levels of service for US phone users, including:

Free - 30 minutes per month
$7.00 - 250 minutes per month
$20.00 - 1000 minutes per month
