Use our call masking service to connect your customers to drivers, delivery personnel, or vendors – without revealing their personal phone numbers.
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.
Driver/Executive gets assigned to a customer: Clicking on the ‘call customer’ button in the app automatically makes a call to Exotel’s virtual number.
Exotel reaches your server: Exotel pings your server with the driver’s/ executive’s details. Your server returns the corresponding customer’s number.
Exotel dials customer number: Exotel connects the assigned executive to the respective customer.
Customer’s number gets anonymized: Customer/passenger numbers are masked from drivers/executives as virtual number acts as a bridge between the parties.
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
Number masking is also the best way to avoid off-platform transactions thereby allowing you to monetize better

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.
