Dangers of Using Personal Phone for Business & Benefits of Virtual Phone Numbers

If you see big companies, businesses, and corporate organizations you will notice that the boss/owner doesn’t share his personal phone number, nor their personal number is used for business work. They have a large organization yet they manage everything swiftly with the help of a virtual phone number. This principle should also be applied by you if you have your business. You must be thinking who will do the hard work of keeping two numbers and attending both the phones and must have switched to smart work like using your personal phone for work which is also affordable. But the fact is sooner or later you will get exhausted and you will not be able to balance your personal and business calls together.

Why Should You Switch to Virtual Numbers

This is one of the reasons why you should switch to the virtual phone numbers. Using Personal Phone for work has its own risk. The first and foremost is that you are exposed to threats and also become vulnerable to many different kinds of cyber crimes. Your personal information which is there on your phone is under constant threat from hackers and cyber criminals. And any kind of misuse of personal numbers can open you to the risk of your number being used in the wrong ways in many methods.

Risk Involved in Using Personal Number

There are many big companies also who have compromised the security measures in the past. If you don’t understand still then let me explain to you another way. For example, you have used your personal number to make an online payment from your card, and then through your phone number, the skilled hacker or cyber-criminal can get all your card details in minutes including password/pin and your CVV number and can misuse it. Plus, the hacker can easily have access to the entire auto-saved passwords and photos which are on your phone. So, you should never use Personal Phone for work.

Solution with Virtual Phone Numbers

Now, you must be thinking about how to solve this problem. Well, the answer is very simple. Keep a second number and that too a virtual phone number. Choosing a virtual phone number is very beneficial, you all the calls that come in the virtual phone number can be routed by you in different devices including your private number also (so you don’t have to share the number with anyone). So, in this, the cyber criminal will only target that virtual phone number and not your private number. Any kind of threat will be directed towards the servers of the virtual service provider and they can deal with such attacks.

Other Problems Faced When Using Personal Phone

If you use the personal phone for work, then you will not be able to avoid the robocalls, you will be effectively bound to your number, your communication capabilities will be limited, you will not be able to control the employee-customer interaction, and your privacy will be compromised. So, these are the problems that will be you will have to face if you choose to use a personal phone for work. So, in short, all these problems can be solved in only one way and that is through virtual phone numbers.
