Phone number masking (also known as call masking) is the best way for businesses to safeguard their customers’ identity, and prevent misuse of their sensitive information. This solution works by anonymizing the participating phone numbers by connecting the call through a temporary proxy phone number.
Your customer’s phone number is never revealed during the transaction. After all, the onus of protecting the customer’s privacy falls on the business

Call masking is a cloud-based call privacy solution that is used by businesses to safeguard their customers’ privacy.
Used mostly by E-commerce, cab aggregator, and food delivery companies, a call masking solution makes use of Voice APIs and a pool of temporary& virtual numbers to connect the customers and the agents, all without revealing the actual phone numbers to each other.
Learn more about phone number masking through our whitepaper here.
To explain this let's take the example of a food delivery company. Whenever a customer places an order, Exotel’s Voice API assigns a temporary virtual number for the transaction and the delivery agent gets a click-to-call button in his/her app.
As soon as the delivery agent clicks on the call button, the temporary virtual number calls the customer’s number, and thus, the delivery agent gets connected.
This way, as the temporary virtual number acts as a bridge between the two, both the delivery agent and the customer cannot see each other’s real phone numbers.
