Wow, thanks so much for all the replies, everyone! I didn’t expect so many helpful tips. So, to clarify, the Craigslist app hides your phone number by default using a proxy system, but I should avoid typing my number in the ad text. Got it!
I think I’ll try using Google Voice like a few of you suggested—seems like a solid extra layer of protection.
One quick follow-up: has anyone had issues with the proxy system not working properly? Like, has your real number ever accidentally shown up? Just curious if that’s something I should watch out for.
Thanks again, y’all! You’ve been super helpful.
