Number Masking from Telestax Protects Users

Number masking protects the identity of users and keeps their phone numbers private by connecting them anonymously through a Telestax Restcomm phone number.

Phone number masking is the ability to ensure customers and businesses can make calls and send messages without exposing personal phone numbers. It offers many advantages to both businesses and users alike.

For example, organizations can reduce cost by only having to purchase a minimal amount of phone numbers to do business. With number masking, a business can use the same number to bridge users and employees without exposing the number. Users prefer this capability to ensure the privacy of their phone number when interacting with a business, such as a ride-sharing application to communicate with a driver. For security, the number is hidden from the driver to protect the user’s identity.

With number masking you can:

  • Protect user identity
  • Keep communication within your platform
  • Control user experience
  • Lower the cost of purchased phone numbers
  • Scale as you grow
  • Enable use of customer-preferred communication channels

Number masking helps a variety of industries to improve communication by providing consumers with more options to interact in a secure manner.
