If you’re among the many who value your digital privacy, gaining an understanding of PGP encryption will feel like discovering how a safe works—even if you have no intention of building one yourself, it’s good to know precisely your information is protected inside.

Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encryption is a well-recognized and trusted tool for secure digital communication. Even if you do not recognize the name, it’s possible you’ve engaged with the encryption tool throughout your online life. With a reputation for being more than just “pretty good,” it has actually been a powerful privacy option since its invention in the early 1990s by Phil Zimmermann. It’s widely used today protecting emails, files, and messages from being read by anyone other than the intended recipient. 

How Does Pretty Good Privacy Work?

PGP uses a combination of two encryption systems: symmetric and asymmetric encryption.

Symmetric encryption is the concept that both the sender and receiver of the data will use the same key to encrypt and decrypt. Asymmetric encryption uses what are known as “public” and “private” keys. Encryption can happen with someone’s public key and then decryption with a private key. 

In other words: when you send someone a PGP-encrypted message, they are then the only ones with the ability to unlock it, nobody else—not the email provider, not hackers, not the government—nobody. It’s totally secure end-to-end communication.

Why Do People Still Use PGP?

Although it’s much beloved by journalists and whistleblowers alike, PGP is a good encryption option for anyone who might find themselves dealing with sensitive files, confidential emails, or personal conversations.

The PGP tool has truly stood the test of time. This is likely because it’s an open-source option, it’s flexible, and, most importantly, extremely difficult to crack (when used properly). 

Is PGP Still Relevant in 2025?

Although the technology has evolved, the OpenPGP standard (which is an open-use version of the original PGP tool) has been actively maintained and supported across a number of communication tools. Some modern platforms also integrate PGP encryption on the back end so that users don’t have to bother with any complex key exchange systems themselves. 

Despite this ongoing use, PGP isn’t perfect. It does not have the capability to encrypt subject lines, metadata or timestamps. This means that your communication is still at risk of exposure unless paired with other privacy tools (think: Dialappify).

PGP and Dialappify Privacy 

Looking for the ultimate security powerhouse duo? If you choose to let PGP handle your secure file and email exchanges, trust Dialappify to focus on protecting your voice and text communications. Dialappify gives you a second phone number so you can call and text confidently, while keeping your personal number secure. It’s the ultimate digital privacy from every possible angle.

Facebook Privacy Settlement https://dialappify.com/facebook-privacy-settlement/ Fri, 04 Jul 2025 17:23:08 +0000 https://dialappify.com/?p=8317 Have you heard the news about the Facebook privacy settlement?

Have you heard the news about the Facebook privacy settlement? Sometimes it’s hard to trust what we see online but, in this case, yes, it’s real. And yes, it involves real money. Shocked? Well, don’t quit your day job just yet.

First let’s take a closer look at what the privacy settlement really means for Facebook users and our privacy in the future. 

What is the Facebook Privacy Settlement?

Starting back in 2018 with the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Facebook (which is now officially known as Meta) was allowing third party apps to collect data on registered users and their friends without informed consent. The data was used for targeted political ads and other purposes that were unethical—or at the very least, questionable.

A few years later Facebook found itself a lawsuit examining how they handle user data. The result, one of the largest data privacy payouts in USA history, was a whopping $725 million settlement. It remains a touchstone moment for any individual who is concerned about their personal information and how it’s used online. 

Who Wins?

If you used Facebook in the U.S. between May 2007 and Dec 2022, you were likely eligible for a payout. No need to go digging for proof that your data was misused. All you need to have is evidence that you existed on the platform within the aforementioned period. 

To snag your share of the payout, you had to submit your claim form by August 2023. At this point your award could range from a few dollars to slightly more. This depends on the length of time you used Facebook and the number of people who also submitted claims to the lawsuit. 

Is There a Catch?

Aside from the lack of windfall to come with this kind of a “win” (truly don’t count on coming into a fortune here), this settlement is mostly just a win for accountability. Facebook/Meta isn’t admitting to wrongdoing and is resolving the case without liability, which is typical of many large scale corporate settlements. 

Know that, despite a $725 million price tag on this issue, user privacy on Facebook and other online platforms is, and will continue to be, a significant issue. These services collect massive amounts of personal data, which is valuable to them in a number of ways. Ultimately, users need to take their data ownership seriously and take steps to protect themselves. 

If you can’t quite cut ties with these social media platforms, consider using a Dialappify second phone number to sign up. It’s an easy but powerful way to ensure your contact information stays safe. Remember that this revelation should be a wakeup call for anyone online: once your data is available to one company, there’s no telling where else it will go.

It might not have happened overnight but you might have noticed that you’re not carrying cash as often as you once did. Gone are the days of hunting the couch cushions for lost change and even fiddling through your car’s dashboard for the parking meter.

 It’s undeniable, we’re heading quickly towards being a fully cashless society, which begs the question: how does a cashless society affect our privacy? While the convenience is undeniable it does leave room to wonder what the switch is having us sacrifice when it comes to privacy. Fewer people are carrying wallets and you’re more likely to see people tap their phones when buying a coffee or even shopping at a farmer’s market.

No Cover with Cash

Paying with cash means life without a digital trail. No tabs on where you spent it, what you purchased, the time of day, or any other factors. It’s naturally anonymous and private. Conversely, digital payments—regardless as to whether they’re through your credit card, Apple wallet, or other contactless payments—are automatically considered “data.”

Every transaction is tracked and, consequently, can be shared with your financial institution, advertisers, and the government. 

Consider your cashless payments a trail of breadcrumbs. Every item you buy, no matter how benign, contributes to building a profile of your spending habits. Companies are then able to harness this data to create targeted ads, suggested purchases, and even assess your credit. Naturally, some people wouldn’t love the idea of appearing in a database that tracks your pharmacy visits or weekends at the bar. 

Digital Erasure and Emergencies

With the loss of cash comes a loss of control. A financial provider or private platform could cut access to your funds unexpectedly. It could be due to fraud alerts, a basic algorithmic error, or a policy violation. Regardless as to why you get locked out, it can be next to impossible to reverse and leave you without alternative funds.  

If your phone dies or a payment system is down, what’s the alternative? Relying on digital infrastructure can leave you vulnerable, even if it’s just a technical issue. 

In an era when political tensions are high, cashless payments make it easy for your purchases to be tracked. So, how does a cashless society affect your privacy if you’re protesting, travelling, or attending political events? Unfortunately, you are likely sacrificing any anonymity and, potentially, your personal safety.  

Protecting your Privacy

Entirely doing away with your digital payment methods completely isn’t really a practical option for most of us. However, here are a few steps we can follow to  protect our privacy:

  • When possible, use prepaid cards or digital wallets that require minimal personal details
  • Limit unnecessary access to financial data (gaming apps, etc.)
  • Turn off location sharing for payment apps

Longtime Google Chrome users might already know that the internet behemoth is back in the spotlight again… but it’s not with good news.

After promising to phase out third-party cookies, Chrome has admitted to reversing their decision and bringing them back into the fold. This has sparked fresh waves of discussion around the contentious issue of Chrome tracking privacy concerns. Not sure what all the fuss is about? Here’s a breakdown of how these cookies might impact your day-to-day browsing and why you should care. 

What Are Third-Party Cookies?

Third‑party cookies are pieces of code that track your online activity and are primarily used by advertisers. Their purpose is to track you to build a profile of your interests, your habits, and your general online behaviours. This makes it so that they can market directly to you (whether you are interested or not). 

Not to be confused with first-party cookies, which help you remember your password or the items in your online shopping cart, third-party cookies take note of that pair of shoes you googled last week and then sends you ads for similar shoes across every subsequent site you might visit. 

Google Promised Their Removal

Initially, Google announced a plan to phase out third-party cookies in response to privacy concerns and a notable shift in industry standards. Much to the chagrin of privacy-conscious users, by late 2023, Google had quietly started to walk back their promise.

As an alternative to fully removing these tracking components, Google is now developing systems like the Privacy Sandbox, which groups users into categories based on their interests. While it offers a nominal level of privacy, critics point out that it still allows advertisers to track your online behavior — just more subtly than before

To this end, many believe the Privacy Sandbox approach  is less about protecting user privacy and more about Google maintaining their dominance in the advertising space.

Privacy Advocates Push Back

Reintroducing third-party cookies in any form has reignited discussions regarding Chrome tracking privacy concerns. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and other such organizations have argued that online users deserve true privacy from Google and other digital giants. They believe that we should not settle for watered-down alternatives that still allow for behavioural profiling.

With Chrome remaining one of the most widely used browsers globally Google has enormous power over how privacy is handled (or not handled) on the web.

What To Do

Since the chance of a collective retreat from online use is unlikely, there are a few choices you can make to help protect your privacy. 

Consider switching to a browser like Brave, Firefox, or Tor, which all block third-party cookies and other trackers as a default. Installing privacy tools like uBlock Origin or using a VPN when online are other lines of defense to consider as well. 

Dialappify can help you protect your digital privacy by keeping your personal phone number out of the hands of advertisers. Sign up for services, dating apps, or make purchases with a second number from Dialappify to ensure your real number stays off the grid, untracked.

Privacy isn’t a luxury anymore and online privacy is no exception. Protecting our personal data is a basic need. In our daily usage of websites, software, and apps, it can begin to feel like our screens are mirrors. Everything we do is being watched, tracked, monitored, logged, and then used to market content back to us.  

Switching to one of the best privacy browsers is an easy way to take back control. If you’re ready to trade the convenience of the browser you know for ones that might give you more peace of mind, here are a few that do a good job of keeping your activity private to you.

Brave

The Brave browser blocks ads and trackers from the jump. It upgrades connections to HTTPS (the secure version of HTTP) when possible and offers the option of using Tor for extra anonymity when in private mode. 

Like Chrome, it’s built on Chromium, so you’ll find the functionality familiar but with faster loading times because there aren’t any tackers to include. For a great speed and privacy combo, Brave is a great option. 

Firefox

You might be familiar with Mozilla’s Firefox browser, which is open-source, meaning that anyone can take a peek under the hood to see what it’s doing with our data. As a default, Firefox blocks known trackers and lets you control your privacy settings. With extensions like uBlock Origin, you can further layer your approach to privacy protections. On mobile Firefox Focus keeps your online presence squeaky clean and deletes everything once you close the browser. 

Tor Browser

If you’re someone who desires an intense level of privacy, Tor could be your best choice. Perfect for investigative journalists, activists, and anyone who need s to hide their tracks, Tor routes traffic by bouncing it across servers within the network to hide a user’s location and online activities. So, while the privacy payoff is significant, these particular methods of maintaining privacy means that Tor is one of the slower (possibly slowest) browsers on this list. Consider saving it for special tasks and not for any innocuous uses like an everyday Netflix binge watch.

DuckDuckGo 

A privacy-first browser with a recognizable search engine, DuckDuckGo is often reserved for mobile use. Automatically erasing search histories, blocking third-party trackers, and forcing secure connections, DuckDuckGo features a “Fire Button” to erase your session like an escape hatch. Simple and reliable, this browser is great for on the go. 

Safari (With a Few Tweaks)

While Safari might not be known as a privacy leader, if you’re otherwise embedded in Apple’s general ecosystem, you might rely on it as a default. If this is the case, there are improvements you can make to increase privacy protections. Specifically, turn on the option to prevent cross-site tracking as well as block third-party apps. If you have iCloud+ you can also use Private Relay to mask your IP while online. While this might not be the best privacy browser, it’s a good place to start to stay safe and secure online.

Why is Privacy Important?

Personal protection against theft is the most important reason to be aware of privacy online. All of your personal details, including your name, address, and browsing habits, can easily be exploited by hackers and cybercriminals.


We’re constantly sharing information online, whether we are aware of it or not. From social media, online shopping, or just browsing the news, we’re sharing our digital currency with every click and view.

It begs the questions: how often do we stop to think about where our data is going? Who has access to it? And why is personal privacy important to protect?

The answers lie in the concept of digital literacy, which is the ability to navigate, understand, and protect your personal data online. It’s no longer optional. Knowing how to manage your privacy is essential for keeping your identity, finances, and any other information secure.  

When your privacy settings are weak (think: easy to guess like your birthday), then identity theft is a major risk. Your stolen data can be used for a number of fraudulent activities like bank fraud or credit card theft. 

Tip: Always use a strong password and avoid including any identifying details. 

Data exploitation is another common way that your privacy can be manipulated online. Have you ever felt like ads are a little too personal or maybe too accurate to your needs? If you feel like your devices are eavesdropping, it’s likely because large companies are constantly collecting your data, tracking your habits and interests. It helps businesses fine tune their targeted marketing strategies but it, unfortunately, means that your data is likely being sold or used in ways that you do not even realize. 

Tip: Stay on top of your privacy settings on individuals websites and limit apps’ abilities to collect data during use. 

You might be aware of the risk of online scams or fraud but you might not know just how complex and realistic phishing scams have become. Cybercriminals can use leaked personal information to trick people into revealing their passwords, credit card details, home address, and other private data. Although it does not take very much, the more information they have, the easier it is for them to mimic the appearance of being a trusted source. 

Tip: Never click on links in emails or messages, even if it appears to be from a legitimate company. 

Even if you consider yourself to be an open and forthcoming person, remember that not everything about your life needs to be shared online. Your location, job, or any personal details about your life should be saved for trusted, real-life friendships. Oversharing can quickly blur the line between public and private exposure. This is especially important for protecting your career prospects. Be aware that potential employers can use the information they find online to inform their hiring decisions. 

Tip: Regularly Google yourself to see if any of your personal information appears in online searches.

Freedom of speech is a precious right and, to some, is closely linked to the world of online privacy. Without protections, individuals might be monitored or even censored. Even with the mundane topics of everyday life, protecting privacy can equate to the protections of individuals being able to express their opinions freely. 

Tip: Be mindful of where you share your personal opinions online and use encrypted messaging apps for secure communications.

Yes! You can easily make a phone call with an anonymous, second phone number app like Dialappify.

With our lives constantly on display on our social media accounts, it’s harder than ever to maintain an air of mystery. If you’re wondering if it’s possible to reclaim a bit of intrigue in your life, you might also be wondering “can I make a call with an anonymous number?”

The short answer is: yes.

Here are a few reasons why you might want to, and the best way to go about doing it. 

Why Call with an Anonymous Number?  

Lighthearted Pranks 

A harmless joke like calling a friend and pretending to be a celebrity or a delivery driver with their order of 100 tacos can be mysterious and fun. Just keep it light. There’s no reason to be mean spirited. 

Privacy Protection 

You might need to make a call but may not want it to be traced back to your private number, such as if you’re responding to an online ad, making a purchase from a stranger, or navigating a sticky personal situation

Avoiding Calls

If you’ve ever called a company (or emailed, for that matter) to ask a quick question, then you’re likely familiar with being bombarded with follow-up calls afterwards to make sales or extend subscriptions—it can be a total nuisance. Using an anonymous number ensures your question can be answered without your phone blowing up afterwards. 

Filing Complaints or Reporting Issues

Sharing feedback can be really uncomfortable (especially if it’s not entirely positive). If you want to report a problem, then an anonymous call means you can voice your concern without giving up your contact details. 

Organizing Life

Hobbies, families, travel, and daily life can be a lot to keep track of. Having an anonymous online number can separate your personal life from the rest of it; and preserve your privacy at the same time. 

Is it Legal to Make Anonymous Calls? 

In general, yes, making a call with an anonymous number is indeed legal, but there are a few caveats to keep in mind.

First of all, using an anonymous number to protect yourself and your privacy is fine. Using it for harassment, fraud or any other type of malicious activity on the other hand, is most definitely illegal. 

There are also regional variations to consider. Specifically, in areas where there are privacy laws, there might be stricter regulations about nuisance or spam, so it’s recommended to use your number (any phone number really) responsibly and while being thoughtful of others. 

How to Call with an Anonymous Number  

If you’re looking to make a call with an anonymous number, the most reliable, private, and hassle-free option is Dialappify, which is a mobile app for creating temporary (or long-term) anonymous numbers for calls and texts.

Dialappify keeps your personal number hidden for total anonymity and with its affordable plans, it’s perfect for one-off calls, online transactions and more, without lengthy and complicated commitments. 

Quick Tips To Make a Call with an Anonymous Number

1. Respect

Anonymity isn’t a reason to be rude. Never prank someone in a way that could cause distress and always treat the recipient with respect. 

2. Check the Number

Double check that your anonymous call is going to the correct person to avoid an awkward mistaken exchange. 

3. Reveal Yourself When Appropriate

Anonymity can be a starting point, but know when to identify yourself if and when it’s required to wrap up a situation (or come clean to a friend).

So, you’ve been needing to make a free anonymous call but you’re not sure where to start. Maybe you’re planning a surprise party or verifying a lead on a job. No matter the reason, you might have already found that there are a few ways to hide your identity when making a phone call.

If that’s the case, you’ve likely also discovered that not all of these methods are foolproof (or sanitary…hello public payphones). Here are a few options that may or may not work for your free anonymous call.

Old-School Caller ID Blocking

If you’ve been around the block (so to speak), you’ll likely be familiar with caller ID blocking through *69. Dialling *69 at the beginning of your phone number purportedly results in your number appearing as “private” or “blocked” on the recipient’s display. 

Why not?

While *67 might work on some attempts, it’s far from reliable:  

  • Some carriers have restrictions that do not allow *67 calls. This is especially the case for toll-free numbers or, understandably, for emergency services.  
  • Many people are leery of unknown numbers and employ spam filters or apps that block all calls that are received from unknown numbers. 
  • Even if it works to enable your free anonymous call, your carrier still maintains a record so it’s not truly anonymous and untraceable.

Use a Public Phone

While they’re more of a nostalgic photo op these days, public payphones have long been a way to make a call without linking at all to your personal home number. You can still find public payphones in airports or bus terminals and in larger urban centres. 

Why not?

  • We’re in a post-COVID world and everyone is a little more aware these days about just how many germs we come in contact with. Let’s face it—payphones have never been the most hygienic option. 
  • Often located in noisy, busy areas, there are virtually no options for privacy if you need to make a personal call or discuss anything of a sensitive nature
  • Good luck finding one. 

A Temporary Online Number

The easiest, cleanest, and most reliable option to make a free anonymous call is with a temporary online number using Dialappify. The Dialappify app provides a temporary number for private calls and texts, making it an easy choice to top the list.  

Why Dialappify?

  • Start with a free 3 day trial.
  • Calls with Dialappify are completely private and truly anonymous.
  • Customize your plan with voicemail, call forwarding, and auto-reply for text messages.
  • Only your own germs to worry about (but please still wash your hands regularly)!
  • Affordable and flexible.

Stay Anonymous and Stay Mindful 

Whether you’re simply worried about protecting your privacy or scheming with friends and keeping a sweet surprise under wraps, anonymity is more complicated than ever in our hyper-connected reality.

With Dialappify, you can communicate anonymously, for an affordable, no-commitment cost, and know that your private information remains private. Remember though, anonymity isn’t a free pass to harassment and pranking. Laws may vary by country and harassment is never okay. Use your anonymity wisely and with caution.

Being in your 20s is quite literally like being on a roller coaster—except it’s dark, you’re basically riding blind, and you have no idea what twists, turns or drops are coming next. During the day you’re doing adult things—you know, drinking your iced coffee, working your 9:00-5:00— and at night, you’re out partying with strangers you met at a random bar downtown. It kind of feels like being a teenager stuck in an adult’s body— just held to higher expectations. 

The twenties era is an era of adventure, but also a crucial period that transcends into the rest of your adult life. It’s a time to learn, experiment, travel, and maybe even find the love of your life.

While some are out partying, others are staying up until the crack of dawn studying for their next biochemistry exam. While some are still trying to figure out their career and what they want to do with their lives, others have already entered the work force. No matter which category you fall into, things like dating, traveling, finances, and privacy are topics of high concern among young people nowadays.

Whatever your cause for concern, whether you’re looking for more secure ways to date, safer ways to travel, practical tips to save money, or ways to protect your personal information, Dialappify is here to make life easier. If you’re in your twenties, here are four essential reasons why you need to make Dialappify one of your go-to apps.

Online Working

If you’re constantly seeking new connections and happen to be an avid user of popular dating apps like Bumble, Tinder or others, then Dialappify can serve as a precautionary measure until you decide the guy/gal you’re talking to can make it out of the DMs.

We’ve all watched real crime documentaries about first date horror stories, and while it’s unlikely, let’s face it, there certainly are dangers to linking up with strangers over the internet. Unfortunately, stories about threats and harassment have become all too commonplace in today’s world. So how can Dialappify help?

With Dialappify, you can get a second phone number to call and text for as little as $29.99. Unsure about the guy/girl you’re talking to on Tinder? Just give them your Dialappify number. Need to ghost the weirdo that won’t take a hint? Delete your Dialappify number and get a new one. Thinking of doing a loyalty test on your significant other?

Travel

You’ve likely heard the quote: “Experience is far more valuable than money will ever be.” That couldn’t be truer when it comes to traveling the world in your 20s! There is so much to see and so many different things to experience outside of your home country, and there’s no better time to do it than while you have youth and vigor on your side.

While international travel can be expensive, Dialappify can help lighten the burden by saving you money on travel-related costs.

Many phone carriers charge upwards of $15/per day when it comes to calling and texting on your primary phone number, and that number adds up quickly when you’re away from home for an extended period of time. 

With Dialappify, you can get an international phone plan that lets you stay in touch with people all over the world starting at just $69.99/month, allowing you to make international calls with budget-friendly rates.

Travel Tip: Buying an eSIM with prepaid data can save you a ton of money by avoiding roaming charges on your phone bill. Try using an aloSIM eSIM on your next trip. It will save you a ton of money on your phone bill, and any eSIM purchase you make comes with a FREE Dialappify phone number to use while you travel!

Securing Deals

With the cost of living steadily rising, it’s safe to say that we’re all constantly looking for new and innovative ways to save money.

One way you can save money with a Dialappify number is by using it to secure a variety of “one-time” deals. If you’re a regular shopper, many retailers offer consumers special discounts for signing up with them via phone number, opting in to text alerts, and more. 

If you don’t feel like having your primary number bombarded with discount codes from a ton of different retail shops, simply sign up with your Dialappify number. Plus, with Dialappify, you can get as many temporary phone numbers as you want. Hear that? Discounts galore!

Privacy

If you’re skeptical about freely handing out your phone number, you’re not the only one. After all, there’s a lot of damage scammers and fraudsters can do if they get their grimy little hands on your phone number.

Whether you’re signing up for discounts online, entering online contests, selling stuff on ebay, taking online surveys, or doing anything that may involve giving out your personal phone number, it’s better to be safe than sorry, especially if it’s a domain you’ve never used before. 

Using your Dialappify number eliminates the stress associated with worrying if you’ve potentially given personal information to an individual or website you probably shouldn’t have. 

Whether you’re trying to cut back on expenses, protect your personal information, or find more efficient travel solutions, Dialappify is the solution. With a second phone number at your disposal, you can protect your privacy, save money, and enjoy peace of mind no matter what you decide to use your Dialappify number for!

It’s an unfair reality, but nearly anyone with an online presence is susceptible to harassment. Yes, even if you have no public profiles on social media. In fact, if you’ve signed up for a service, posted a listing on Facebook Marketplace, or chatted with someone on an app, you do have an online presence (and you’ve opened a gateway for unwanted calls, texts, voicemail, or spoofing). 

Fortunately, there are a few ways to protect yourself from online harassment, and one effective tool is a Dialappify number—an alternate phone number you can use for any non-essential communication.

Unwanted or Threatening Calls

If someone gets ahold of your primary number from a social media post, online listing, or even a public profile, you might receive repeated or disturbing phone calls, which can disrupt your day and potentially make you feel unsafe.

Solution: Start by using a Dialappify number to keep your primary number private. If your Dialappify number starts receiving unwanted calls, you can mute or block those calls—or even delete the number entirely.

Harassing or Offensive Texts

It’s too easy for anyone to send disturbing texts if they have access to your number, and in some cases, these messages can escalate in volume or intensity, which can feel intrusive and unsettling. 

Solution: Anytime you provide your contact information, use a Dialappify number to keep your primary number safe from offensive or intrusive messages. In the case of harassment, deleting your Dialappify number leaves the harasser with no way to reach you.

Voicemail Harassment

Even if you don’t answer your phone, there’s the chance that someone can leave voicemails which might potentially be even more distressing than a message or call. In the unfortunate worst-case scenarios, an unwanted, graphic, or threatening voicemail can feel like a serious invasion of your personal space.

Solution: Dialappify offers voicemail! Listen to voicemails on your Dialappify line without ever exposing your primary number. If the voicemails become too frequent or upsetting, you keep your primary voicemail free of harassment with a safe way to screen messages before choosing to engage.

Number Spoofing or Prank Calls

Number spoofing is a method of making a call or text appear as though it’s coming from a number that it isn’t. It could even appear as though it originated from you or from someone you trust! This can be frustrating because it places blame on the wrong individual and can lead to more unwanted attention and miscommunication.

Solution: Dialappify minimizes the risks of spoofing of your primary phone number. In the case that your Dialappify number is ever used for malicious purposes, know that they’re isolated to a number you can easily discard and replace. 

How Dialappify Protects Against Online Harassment

Dialappify offers a temporary phone number for any situation in which you need to share your contact information. Think of your secondary Dialappify line as a shield that can protect against any type of unwanted interactions, including online harassment. 

Stay anonymous by making calls with your Dialappify number to anyone who you do not know and trust (think: services, businesses, or new acquaintances). That way, while you are still free to block, mute, or ignore as needed, your primary line remains safe and free of any potential online harassment or nuisance.

The best part? If a situation ever escalates or you feel unsafe in any way, you can delete your Dialappify number and instantly cut off any unwanted contact. There are no limitations to how often or how many times you delete and change to a new Dialappify number, making sure you are always in control of your online safety.
