This program comes to us from Fred's Head.
Pockets is an innovative Twitter/ Voicemail mashup which allows you to send voicemail messages, even if you don’t know the recipient’s phone number. The only requirement is, of course, that they are on Twitter.
Sign in using your Twitter account, supply your phone number and the user’s twitter handle whom you intend to send the message. Then hit “send voicemail” and the application calls you to record a message. Once you are done, you can hang up and the recipient gets a private voicemail. The recipiant can only reply and can only hear it once they authenticate their account.

Call me paranoid, but I don't really like the idea of giving my phone number to an online service.

I have to agree; it might be an interesting program, but I wouldn't enter my phone number.

That's ok Ev, you said you don't have one anyway. lol
Sounds kinda cool though, interesting. Bet not many people have it or will get it though. I like the idea though

It might be safe, especially if the thing is only stored as a session variable that's deleted after you leave the message.

i know atleast one person on here gave google their number and after some of the stunts they pulled from time to time i can't say it would be any worst giving these people your number as well
