REAL CALLS Incoming calls ring on your lock screen — through Apple's CallKit, exactly like your personal line. Works over Wi-Fi and cellular. Outbound calls show your CloakMe number. Your real number stays out of it entirely. SMS AND MMS Full two-way conversations. Send photos, receive photos. Works with any number on any carrier, as naturally as native Messages. VISUAL VOICEMAIL Play any message in any order. Record a custom greeting for each number so every line has its own identity and sounds the part. AS MANY NUMBERS AS YOUR LIFE REQUIRES One for work. One for dating apps. One for that Marketplace listing. One for travel abroad. Each number has its own inbox, call history, and voicemail. Switch between them with a single tap. No cap on how many you can hold. 11 COUNTRIES Get a number in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Mexico, Germany, France, Japan, India, Brazil, or Colombia.

Close the deal, close the number. Business and Side Hustles — Keep client calls off your personal line without carrying two phones. One device, two completely separate lives. Travel — Pick a local number in a supported country before you land. Use it for hotel reservations and local contacts. Leave it behind when you fly home. Privacy — Gyms, loyalty programs, any business that will eventually spam you. CloakMe numbers are real enough to pass verification, disposable the moment they stop being useful. Two-Factor Authentication — CloakMe numbers are real carrier lines that receive SMS verification codes exactly like any other phone number. SIGN IN YOUR WAY Apple, Google, Microsoft, or Amazon. No new account to create. No new password to remember.
