Phone numbers are personal
We all value our personal phone number above most things digitally. It is a direct line of communication to us. It is the means that very important and urgent things are communicated. Spam calls are an invasion of privacy, and can even disrupt peace of mind.
Why you get spam calls/texts
The reason you get spam calls is because a company you interacted with at some point and trusted with your number either decided to sell it, or lost it in a data breach. Your number was put on a list, which has been sold or leaked countless times, resulting in your number being in the hands of bad actors.
Don't trust companies with something so personal.
Why use an alias?
Most of the time companies who ask for your number rarely need it, or use it for authentication. It is seen as an alternative way to send you information. It doesn't need to be the same line of communication you use for friends, family, and loved ones.

Phone Aliases and Privacy
Additionally, using a separate phone number aids with cross-site identifiers.
We recommend using a different phone alias for every site that requires one. HiddenLogin keeps messages from all your different phone aliases organized.
