Online shopping

Blue glowing app icon with a shopping cart and an X symbol, indicating removal or canceling.

When checking out online or signing up for coupon codes, try using Cloaked email addresses and emails to get the discount you want without having to clog up your personal inbox.

Restaurant reservations

Email on smartphone screen showing a restaurant reservation confirmation from Obon Shokudo with a photo of a table setting including wine glasses and a plated dish.

When you’re giving out your number to reserve a dinner table at a new restaurant, try giving out a Cloaked phone number instead.

Reservation tip

Enable forwarding to be sure you don’t miss any messages from the restaurant (like when your table is ready!)

Small business communications

Glowing red and pink chat bubble icon with a phone handset inside on a dark gradient background.

Do you operate a small business and don’t want to receive messages or calls from customers when you’re off the clock? Try giving out a Cloaked number or email instead so you can decide when you want to be notified.

Managing contacts

Each Cloaked identity can add and save multiple contacts, so you can keep your work and personal contacts separate.

Dating/meeting new people

Meeting new people can be awkward enough without having to give out your phone number. Try giving out a Cloaked phone number to protect yourself from unwanted calls and texts when it doesn’t work out.

Meeting in person

Dating apps do a great job of keeping you safe, but when it’s time to meet in person, try using a Cloaked number if you’re uneasy about giving out your personal number.

Free trials

If you’re signing up for a free trial, try using a Cloaked email address. You can make as many email addresses as you need to take advantage of any limited time free trial offers you might want to check out - we’re not here to judge.
