The ability to create virtual, disposable phone numbers is paving the way for a new wave of startups, from those attacking the BYOD (bring-your-own-device) trend at work like SendHub , to apps like Burner for iOS , which offers the privacy of a temporary number without the need to buy an actual “burner” cell phone. Today, another new application called Hushed , somewhat along the lines of Burner, is making its debut on Android first. But this time, the startup is offering support for over 40 countries around the world. The Hushed app, live now on Google Play , is a fully integrated voice client for Android phones, which allows users to buy a 7-day, 30-day or 90-day phone number. Each number comes with incoming and outgoing capabilities as well as voicemail, making it a viable, more lightweight alternative to something like Google Voice, for example
