Do I Need to Use My Personal Phone Number for Work?

1. How can you keep your personal phone number private at work?

RingCentral allows you to shield your personal phone number from business callers

If you are like many employees today, you may find that there are times when you are not in the office and you need to take a business call from your personal cell phone. In fact, many businesses have a BYOD (bring your own device) policy where you can use your personally owned devices for work-related activities.

Benefits of BYOD:

There are definitely advantages to a BYOD system. One big advantage is that you don’t have to carry two separate cell phones with you all the time. Another one is that your company doesn’t have to purchase a separate business phone for you, thus saving money.

Disadvantages of BYOD:

The biggest disadvantage of a BYOD system is that you need to give out your personal phone number to your clients so that they can reach you. This is not only a privacy issue, but it means that it’s harder for you to separate your private life from your work life.

RingCentral Shields Your Personal Phone Number:

If you use RingCentral, you can shield your personal phone number from your business callers. RingCentral will let you communicate with your customers by phone or even text using your business number. You will be able to take calls from your personal cell phone while showing your business number. Your clients will think that they are actually reaching you in your office.
