Take Back Control of Your Digital Privacy with Doosra!

 4 years ago    

From cab drivers to food delivery agents to app sign-ups or social occasions like networking events and reunions – in today’s world, virtually every service requires you to link your number. As a result, most of our phones are jammed with a plethora of spam texts, prank calls, promotional calls, etc. When your number is available on the databases of so many apps and websites, it can be very difficult to preserve your privacy and safeguard personal mobile numbers from the systemic abuse of privacy rights by brands, companies & marketers. It forces you to make yourself available to more and more number of people who want to commodify you.

But now you can leave all those worries behind, with Doosra. 

Doosra is a Hyderabad based start-up through which you can get a second phone number on your existing SIM card.

It all started when one day, Founder CEO Aditya Vuchi was asked to provide his phone number to a global sporting retail chain in order to complete his purchase transaction. It got him thinking about the innumerable places he had to provide his phone number and how it put his privacy at a massive risk. After many sleepless nights spent brainstorming, it was very clear that something had to be done. And thus, Doosra was born.

What is Doosra Number?

Doosra is a virtual mobile number that protects your privacy and can be used to block spam at the source. Through the app, you can thus get a Doosra number without changing your SIM card or device. You may give out your Doosra numbers at malls, shops, websites which are known to inevitably start spamming your number via calls and messages.

With Doosra all these calls and messages are blocked by default. These calls and messages can be kept track of through the dashboard and you may use these contacts if you ever deem it to be necessary. 

The Doosra app provides you with a vast range of innovative app features:

  • Blocks incoming spam calls and messages to your Doosra number by default.
  • Dashboard to keep track of spam contacts.
  • Whitelist to add trusted contacts that may reach you through your Doosra number.
  • Allows you to be incognito when needed and callback any incoming call without revealing your real number.
  • All incoming calls are directed to Voice mail which you may check at your convenience.
  • View SMSs and OTPs at ease.

“Our personal mobile number is linked to our every personal detail — bank accounts, name and address, social media profiles, and email addresses. When this mobile number is circulated in any public domain, it exposes our identity.

All incoming calls to the Doosra number are either automatically blocked or sent to voicemail or let through depending on the user’s settings and preferences on Doosra app,” Vuchi, a serial entrepreneur, told to Business Line.

Telangana IT and Industries Minister, KT Rama Rao, who launched the app, said that he himself has been a victim of spamming. “Doosra will be an effective solution for deflecting spam calls and women will especially benefit from it,” he said.

One of the most innovative apps this year, Doosra truly meets the need of the hour with their smart solution that helps you take back control of your digital privacy.

For just Rs 59 per month you can instantly activate your Doosra number.

Unlike other call blockers that actually set you up for more spam, Doosra actually cares for your privacy. Say bye-bye to annoying calls for credit cards, loans or exotic vacations and quit wondering how so many people have your number, or having to shuffle between two devices or SIM cards.. Choose Doosra.
