Lots of IT-related posts about dating sites recently. Today, Level 3 announces it has launched an Internet-based phone service for online dating service Lavalife. Lavalife, which has more than 600,000 active members, assigns dedicated phone numbers to customers so they don’t have to hand out their own number to a virtual stranger. Previously, several other carriers were utilized.

Who uses dedicated numbers anymore? This seems ineffective compared to how Jangl works with Match, which has come up with a slick systems for allocating and provisioning numbers for members.
