Work in public without giving out your number

You can be easy to reach and still keep your personal line personal.

Last updated August 28, 2026

Selling your time means being findable. That is usually where the trouble starts: the moment your real number is the thing people book you through, it belongs to everyone who ever had it — long after the session ended, and long after you wanted to hear from them.

On Saathum, what you publish is a listing, not a phone number.

People book the listing, not you personally

Someone finds what you offer, sees your price and your open slots, and books. The session runs inside Saathum. At no point in that flow does anyone need your personal number, because at no point does the platform use it to connect you.

Your Saathum number is the public one

Every account gets a free Saathum number that acts as your public identity. That is the one that can be shared. Your real number is used to sign up and then stays behind it — it is not what people see, and it is not what they get.

Why this matters more when money is involved

A creator taking paid bookings from strangers is exposed in ways a private user is not. Someone who is unhappy, or too happy, now has a direct line to your actual phone, outside the platform, with none of its rules attached. Keeping the number separate means an interaction that goes wrong can be ended, reported and blocked — instead of following you home.

Our Community Guidelines and Acceptable Use Policy cover what happens when someone crosses a line, and how to report it.

Saathum is still evolving. We are an early-stage Delaware corporation, business and access is invite-only. Read our full status.
