Should You Give Out Your Phone Number?

For most people, giving out your phone number is pretty easy and without a second thought. In a world where scammer and spammers and even stalkers didn't exist, this would be great. In reality, you should only be giving your phone number to people you trust, like family members and close friends. When it comes to acquaintances and people you just met, consider using Text Privately for a virtual number that can protect your privacy, so those you give it to will never know your real phone number.

Organizing Your Life With Virtual Numbers!

If you are an entreprenur or a business owner, virtual numbers are definitely for you. You could have one virtual number specifically for your employees and another for your customers.

As an entreprenur, you know your life is far too busy to keep track of sometimes. Why not give out a virtual number for the startups, the small busineses, or the ones who have an idea, but have not quite gotten there yet?

Imagine being able to organize your life by giving out phone numbers for specific reasons. If you have several things going on all at once, you should probably dedicate a phone number to each. With our Note system, you can leave a note for why you have a specific number and what it is being used for. Once you have set your number for whatever your reason, you can now give that number out to those who are associated with it for that reason.

Giving out a specific number to a specific person allows you to keep track of your business needs and where that person and your virtual number belongs in your life.

Setting Up A Note With Your Virtual Number
