They do it on Autotrader too, it just keeps your number private.

I used to wonder, but as above, just a privacy thing, it mean once your advert goes off, people dont have your number.

Also refered to as a YAC number (You're Always Connected) substitutes your real number with one that looks like a mobile number.

I think this is the reason I couldn't harass an old friend and pretend I was interested in his car.
