SimpleLogin has been promising phone number masking since 3 years and it still hasn't been implemented

@nguyenkims had told that we would be getting an alpha version at the beginning of 2022 and we still haven't heard any updates regarding it.

The X account of SimpleLogin had told phone masking would be coming in 2023 and still it hasn't come

I am seriously considering switching to Cloaked because it's around the same price as SimpleLogin (just $8 more after discount) and it has all the features of SimpleLogin plus it has phone number masking and a password manager with credit card masking coming soon.

Hope SimpleLogin can give an update and implement this as soon as possible.

Hi for the last 2 years we have been focusing our efforts on SL scalability and reliability as the number of users has significantly increased after we joined Proton. The phone number project isn't discontinued, we've made several attempts at it - an alpha version is actually available for internal users for some time.

We don't expect to have phone numbers available for all users soon though as it have several challenges:

• expensive
• region based
• most services don't allow VOIP numbers to sign up
• depending on countries, might require personal data like passport, proof of address, etc of the person who uses it
