Add an extra layer of protection

A measure to keep your main number private. Thousands of spammers and fraudsters are added to Hiya’s database each day, so hopefully you’ll find it useful in reducing the number of unwanted calls that you pick up. However, while Hiya can protect you from the symptoms of spam calls, ensure you also take steps against the cause. Try unlinking your number from social media accounts, or use an app like Sideline ( apple.co/2kh99Dd) to provide you with a second phone number to use, which is especially helpful when you’re unsure whether to give an organisation your main mobile number.
