As a business person, does it mean your phone number should be public?

[King Belieal]

Small business owners have to leave their phone numbers on sign posts, flyers and even on social media posts. That's to ensure that clients can easily find their phone numbers to contact them for sales.

Does it mean that the phone number of a person that runs and owns a business should be public?

It's better if you, as a business owner, have a dedicated business number. You can also use a premium number to make it easier for customers to remember. Therefore, your business phone number should be separate from your personal number.

You don't have to use your personal phone number for business communications. You should have a dedicated phone number meant for business and that must be public.

Yes, I think a businessperson's phone number should be printed on his/her name card and made public in some ways. That's why it is important for the businessperson to have two phone numbers. One for personal use, one for business.

Smart separation. A public business number manages access, while the private one protects sanity and personal life. Essential boundary.

As a business person, your mobile number is prone to be in the hands of numerous people for patronage.

Definitely, your phone number must as a matter of necessity be public. Unless you want otherwise, you can easily have a private number only for close friends and family members.

There is no need for your personal number to become public, but your business number should certainly be public.

Your personal information could be compromised if your phone number is shared publicly only display your business phone number.

It's not the business owner's personal phone but business or company phone that it is registered in the yellow telephone directory. Regarding the mobile phone number, it's also owned by the business or company, not solely by the company or business owner himself.

Crank calls are a major problem faced when the phone number is published publicly, especially for smartphones, so it is better to avoid publishing personal phone numbers.
