Mobile Alias Apps

The MyAKA Gives Protects Privacy by Issuing a Secondary Number

— August 20, 2015 — Lifestyle
To protect your identity and ensure that your privacy remains your own, the MyAKA app is a platform that creates a mobile alias by providing you with a secondary number for your smartphone. The app can be used for a variety of cases, from dating to online shopping.

The MyAKA platform is ideal for those looking to withhold information about their identity in a variety of situations. Users can sign up and receive a second number with the same area code as your current one while ensuring the numbers cannot be tracked to one another. Functioning differently than an app, the platform allows you to have similar features to a regular number with a voicemail option, blocking calls and do not disturb. Creating a mobile alias would be ideal for those using dating sites, collecting point rewards or using shopping sites like eBay that don't want to share their personal info right away.
Trend Themes
1. Mobile-alias Privacy - The development of mobile alias platforms is an opportunity for individuals to create a separate phone alias that protects their privacy in various online interactions.
2. Secondary Number Identity Protection - The creation of secondary phone numbers using mobile alias apps presents an opportunity for individuals to protect their identity and personal information while engaging in online activities.
3. Discreet Mobile Communications - The trend towards using mobile alias apps for online shopping and dating is creating an opportunity for individuals to communicate discreetly, allowing for secure transactions and privacy protection.
Industry Implications
1. Telecommunications - The telecommunications industry can develop mobile alias apps to offer clients an enhanced privacy solution that protects contact information and personal data.
2. Online Shopping - The e-commerce industry can integrate mobile alias apps to enable secure and anonymous transactions that safeguard personal information and offer privacy guarantees to customers.
3. Dating and Social Media - The dating and social media industry can leverage mobile alias apps to offer users a secure and discreet online communication system that protects their privacy and personal information.
