Privacy Enhancement
Simplifying the MSISDN into a short code reduces the risk of exposing the full phone number. This enhanced privacy can protect users from unwanted calls, texts, and spam.
Anonymous Communication
Users can communicate without revealing their actual phone number, which can be especially useful in situations where anonymity is desired, such as online dating or classified advertisements.
Reduced Phishing Risk
Short codes are more challenging for malicious actors to use in phishing attempts compared to full phone numbers, as they provide less information for scammers to exploit.
Identity Protection
Short codes make it harder for unauthorized parties to gather personal information, reducing the risk of identity theft and fraud.
Secure Transactions
Short codes can be used for secure authentication and authorization in financial transactions, reducing the likelihood of unauthorized access to sensitive data.
Improved User Experience
Memorizing short codes is easier for users, reducing the likelihood of user errors in communication and contact sharing.
Protection Against SIM Swapping
Short codes can be used as an additional layer of security to protect against SIM swapping attacks, where attackers attempt to take control of a user's phone number.
