Phone call, voice call, the dog and bone? Whatever you choose to call a phone call Cloaked can help! Make your call using a Cloaked number ensuring your personal number doesn't fall into the wrong hands (or ears).

All you need is a Cloaked Identity with a phone number assigned to it, your recipient's number, and that's it.

Making a call from the Cloaked App

When making a call via the Cloaked App you'll need to ensure you've got a Cloaked Identity created and a number generated and that you've verified your personal phone number with Cloaked.

Once you've done this you'll need to follow the steps below to place the call!

Placing a call on Android

Calling a new number

• Go to the Cloaked Identity or Home Screen tab, then select the Cloaked Identity you would like to call from.
• Tap on the Cloaked number, then enter the recipient number you wish to call, tap Next
• You'll then have a prompt showing Dial using default app, which will launch your phone's dialer and will automatically enter the Cloaked Routing Number it will use to route your call securely.
• This will automatically start the call and you'll be connected with the recipient in no time at all. Once you've finished the call you can hang up as normal.

Note: the call is placed in via your phone's native dialer/call app but the call will be routed via Cloaked two-way-secure-routing. You can learn more about how this works here.
