BSNL Kavach Feature: Women often have to share their mobile numbers in public, raising concerns about their privacy. Especially when recharging their mobile phones, sharing their numbers at shops or retail outlets can create an uncomfortable situation for many women. Keeping this issue in mind, the state-owned telecom company Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has introduced a new feature called Kavach Number.

How does the Armor Number feature work?

The Kavach Number feature has been specifically designed with women's safety and privacy in mind. Under this feature, BSNL provides users with a temporary 10-digit number via SMS. This temporary number is linked to the user's actual mobile number, but only the temporary number is visible to the outside world. This way, the actual mobile number remains secure and is not shared directly with anyone.

Recharge can be done without revealing the real number

The biggest advantage of this feature is that women can use their Kavach number to recharge their mobile phones instead of providing their real number. When a recharge is made, this temporary number is linked to the real number through the system, and the recharge is completed as normal. This process does not expose the personal mobile number to any outsider.

Special benefits at retail recharge shops

This feature can be especially useful for women who frequently use retail stores or small outlets for mobile recharges. In such cases, they will not need to provide their personal number. They can recharge directly by sharing their Kavach number, thus keeping their personal information secure.

Further information regarding this feature is also available on BSNL's official website. This initiative is considered an important step towards strengthening women's digital security and privacy.
