Another reason to use Uber
We have been promoting Uber for some time and not because we are paid to but because it is a service we truly believe in. I personally use Uber almost daily and can confidently say it is one of the safest ways to get around. Never have I felt unsafe in an Uber and now they are making it even safer with phone number anonymization.
Phone number anonymization is a service that hides you and your driver’s real cell phone numbers
“In an effort to uphold our gold standard of safety and reliability, we have made some changes to the rider and driver connection process.”
- Drivers will ALWAYS see the same number for all riders- your actual number will not be visible to the driver.
- If you or your driver attempt to call each other, our software will connect you just like normal.
- You will no longer be able to SMS a driver and your driver will be unable to SMS you, voice calls only (standard rates apply).
- Shortly after a trip is complete, your driver will no longer be able to call you.
This way, both riders and drivers will be unable to store personal cell phone numbers. You’ll only be contactable by your driver between the time you request your trip, and shortly after the trip ends using the Twilio number.
Go UBER!
