CloakID gives you a different phone number for each part of your life — work, personal, family, public-facing — while keeping your real number private. Each number supports calls, texts, and voicemail. Set its purpose and choose how incoming calls are handled. With screening enabled, callers state who they are and why they're calling before a call is connected, sent to voicemail, or blocked. Review what happened in your activity feed. EVERY NUMBER COMES WITH - A real US phone number for calls and texts - Call handling and screening rules you control - Activity history and voicemail transcripts - Messaging with delivery indicators and saved drafts - Sharing via QR code or vCard Keep work and personal calls separate, create a public-facing line, or use a temporary number for a short-term need. Manage your numbers and their settings in one place. PRIVACY Your real number stays private when you use your CloakID number. No ads. No behavioral tracking. We don't sell your data. Releasing a number is permanent; a released number cannot be recovered.
