Introduction To Private Number Calling
Calling with a private number is becoming increasingly popular in South Africa. With the help of Telkom, you can make anonymous calls without revealing your identity to the person on the other end of the line. This technology is incredibly useful for personal security and privacy reasons, as well as for businesses who want to keep their contact information confidential. In this article, we’ll explain how you can call using a private number with Telkom’s services.
What Is A Private Number?
A private number is an unlisted telephone number that does not appear in public directories or records. It allows people to remain anonymous when making phone calls because only those individuals with whom they have shared their number will know it exists and be able to dial it directly. The caller’s name will not show up on caller ID screens either so anyone receiving such a call cannot determine who placed it unless they are given prior knowledge of the individual behind it.
Advantages Of Using A Private Number
Using a private number has many advantages over traditional telephone numbers:
- It provides more privacy than traditional phone numbers.
- The user remains anonymous while calling.
.
- No one else can access your details or track down your whereabouts using this type of service.
.
- Your identity remains protected from unwanted solicitors or marketers trying to get hold of you via phone.
.
- You do not need to worry about being spammed by telemarketing companies since no one but yourself knows that you have called them from a certain phone line.
.
With all these benefits, there’s no doubt that calling with a private number makes perfect sense if you value your privacy and safety online!
