What is number masking?

Number masking anonymizes communication between two parties in a voice call by sending calls through an intermediate phone number that acts as a proxy between the two parties. Consider a consumer communicating with a ride-hailing service driver through an app: The customer taps a button to call a proxy phone number, and the proxy instantly and automatically connects to the worker’s number. Neither party can see the other caller’s real phone number.

How number masking works

With number masking, your customer dials a proxy phone number, and the proxy instantly and automatically connects to your worker’s number. The same process can work in the opposite direction if a worker wants to contact a customer, and number masking works equally well for text messaging. Plivo acts as the proxy when your application uses Plivo’s SMS or Voice API.

To get started, rent a Plivo phone number, then visit one of our use case guides on number masking, where we provide annotated code samples in seven widely used web coding languages that show you just how to set things up. You can complete the whole process, from number rental to testing your new code, in less than an hour.
