[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Indonesia is Southeast Asia’s largest e-commerce market. Tens of millions of people buy and sell online every day, and phone calls between buyers and sellers remain common, especially for high-value items, custom orders, and second-hand goods. The problem is simple: when you call a stranger about a listing, your real phone number is exposed. Once the transaction ends, that stranger still has your personal number. What follows can range from spam calls to unwanted messages.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Numero’s Hide My Number feature solves this by keeping your real identity completely off the radar.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Availability<\/strong>: the “Hide My Number” feature is currently available on Android only \u2014 it is not available in the iOS app. On iPhone, buy a separate Numero virtual number and use that line for calls you do not want tied to your personal number.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What Is the Hide My Number Feature?<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Before making a call through the Numero app, you can activate the “Hide My Number” toggle on the dial pad. When enabled, the person you call sees either “Unknown Number” or a different number, not your real one and not your Numero number either. You stay fully anonymous.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is not a complicated setup. It is a free feature included with every Numero account, and it works on any outgoing call you make through the app.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to Activate It<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the Numero app on your phone.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Go to the dial pad.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Enable the “Hide My Number” toggle.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Dial the number you want to call.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    That is it. Your caller ID is hidden for that call, and the recipient has no way to trace it back to your personal line.<\/span><\/p>\n
