Hi, SFLshopper! If you're interested in giving phone shops a try, Shoppers' View has them every month. Now's a good time to look. We usually post the first batch of shops around the 1st of the month. You can register and apply with us at www.shoppersview.com/shoppers. Once you're registered, you can search for phone and website shops on our Job Board by expanding your radius out to 999 miles, clicking 'Additional Filters', and selecting 'Phone' from the 'Project type' drop-down menu. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us at
shoppers@shoppersview.com or 800-264-5677.
Most of our shops do not require you to set-up or spoof a local number. However, if you are interested in doing so, you can look into apps like Burner, Hushed, and Google Voice. Some providers may also provide an option to block your outgoing number.
I like to do phone shops during my son's nap time. My husband and I work different shifts, and we share a car. So, when he's at work, I'm stuck at home without transportation (we're about 20 miles away from the bus line). So, phone shops make sense in my situation.
