Why is number masking important?
Masked phone numbers are used to anonymize communication between multiple parties and hide participant numbers.
While communication via phone is necessary for logistical purposes, many times there is no need to trade numbers between parties and that is where the number masking feature comes into play.
This becomes necessary for people who look for safety and want their numbers to remain unidentifiable.
