Build Masked Phone Numbers
Allow your customers or mobile employees to call or text each other while masking their phone numbers. By implementing masked phone numbers, you can track all conversation metadata in your system while maintaining your customers' privacy. Twilio customers like Uber & Airbnb use masked phone numbers to create a frictionless conversation.
In this tutorial, we'll learn how a company like Airbnb might implement masked phone numbers. Our sample application is modeled after the amazing rental experience created by Airbnb, but with more Klingons.

Host users can offer rental properties which other guest users can reserve. The guest and the host can then anonymously communicate via a disposable Twilio phone number created just for a reservation. In this tutorial, we'll show you the key bits of code to make this work.
Happy building!
