Jangl lets you communicate with anyone, without revealing your mobile phone number, or exchanging it with anyone else. How it works is that your 10 digit phone number is masked by a Jangl ID number. It's as simple as letting someone know your easy to remember Jangl ID. No more remembering crazy 10 digit phone numbers when you don't have a pen lying around.
The Jangl service provides two way privacy, whereas both numbers on the mobile call are kept private at all times. Jangl gives users a unique 10 digit number for each relationship you have. When calling a number, the phone number that the other side will see will be the unique Jangl number that they have for you, ensuring that your privacy is secure. When you give out your Jangl ID, users visit jangl.com and enter the ID. The ID will create a special unique number that they will call you on. That person calling will only know you by that number, and you will only know that person by their unique number, allowing you to block it at anytime.
At the moment Jangl is in a closed beta, I have signed up, and will let everyone know how the service works. However, if anyone is currently using Jangl, let us know how it works in the comments.

This concept seems to be based on part of a company called Context Connect. They provide a contextual name to get connected to individual's mobile phone number without the phone number being revealed.
