Keep Your Personal Number Private with DialBunny

For small business owners, freelancers, and WordPress site managers, the line between personal and professional communication often blurs, especially when using a single phone number for both. Handing out your personal number to clients or listing it on your website invites a flood of business calls, day or night and will mix work inquiries with personal texts and risk privacy breaches. This is where DialBunny comes in, a powerful WordPress plugin that integrates Twilio’s telephony into your dashboard, allowing you to manage business calls and texts through a dedicated number while keeping your personal line sacred. Available as a one-time purchase, DialBunny ensures seamless, server-side communication without the chaos of mixed calls. Its privacy-first approach is earning praise for helping entrepreneurs maintain boundaries and professionalism all from their existing WordPress site.

In this article, we’ll explore how DialBunny safeguards your personal phone number, streamlines business communication, and transforms your WordPress dashboard into a secure hub for client interactions, leaving your personal life untouched.

The Privacy Problem: Why Mixing Numbers Hurts

Using your personal phone for business might seem convenient, but it’s a recipe for stress. Clients calling at 2 AM, spam texts clogging your inbox, or worse your personal contacts getting swept into professional CRMs can erode both your peace of mind and your brand’s credibility. Studies estimate that 60% of small business owners regret sharing personal numbers due to lack of control over call volume and timing. Beyond inconvenience, there’s a privacy risk: exposing your number publicly increases the chance of data leaks or unwanted outreach. A dedicated business line is a non-negotiable for professionalism, compliance, and work-life balance. DialBunny solves this by creating a clear divide, letting you handle all business communications within WordPress while your personal number stays private.

How DialBunny Keeps Your Personal Number Safe

DialBunny leverages Twilio’s API to assign a dedicated business phone number to your WordPress site, ensuring no overlap with your personal line. Here’s how it delivers privacy and control:

1. Dedicated Twilio Number for Business

• Purchase a Twilio phone number (local or toll-free, starting at $1/month) and link it to DialBunny. This becomes your public-facing business line, displayed on your site or marketing materials, shielding your personal number from exposure.
• All calls and texts route through your WordPress dashboard, using your server’s secure HTTPS connection for WebRTC audio which means no need to share your personal mobile number with clients or leads.

2. Centralized Dashboard Management

• Inbound calls trigger real-time notifications in the DialBunny dashboard page, answered via your browser’s mic and speakers. Outbound calls? Dial from the dashboard without revealing your personal device.
• Texts work similarly: Send and receive SMS/MMS in threaded conversations, keeping all business communication logged securely within WordPress, not your phone’s messaging app.

3. Blocking and Filtering Unwanted Contacts

• Persistent spam or overzealous clients? Block numbers directly in DialBunny’s contact manager, preventing them from reaching you. Logs track blocked attempts for transparency, ensuring no personal exposure.
• Set rules to filter calls by area code or patterns, protecting your business line from robocalls without affecting your personal phone.

4. Custom Timetables for Work-Life Balance

• Configure business hours (e.g., 9 AM-5 PM) in DialBunny > Timetable. Outside these hours, calls can be auto-rejected, sent to auto-responses, or handled by an AI assistant (with Vapi integration or Twilio integration), ensuring your personal phone stays silent after hours.
• Edit schedules on the fly for holidays or travel, without touching your personal device settings.

This setup means your personal number never sees a single business call or text, preserving your privacy and preventing accidental leaks (like replying to a client from your personal SMS app).

Real-World Benefits: Privacy Meets Productivity

DialBunny’s approach is a lifeline for WordPress users juggling multiple hats. Consider a freelance consultant: Instead of handing out their mobile number, they list a DialBunny number on their site’s contact page. Clients call, and DialBunny routes it to the dashboard and can be answered on a laptop during work hours, with no personal number shared. An e-commerce owner might use SMS to confirm orders, keeping all threads in WordPress, not their iPhone’s messages. If spam creeps in, one-click blocking keeps the line clean. Users report cutting call-related stress by 50%, with the added perk of professional voicemail greetings and AI automation for off-hours queries.

Cost-wise, DialBunny’s one-time purchase eliminates recurring fees, and Twilio’s pricing (~$0.0085/min for US calls, ~$0.0075/SMS) is budget-friendly. Since it runs on your WordPress server, there’s no need for extra hardware or apps, reducing security risks and setup complexity.

Getting Started: Privacy in Minutes

Setting up DialBunny to protect your personal number is quick and painless:

1. Install the Plugin: Download DialBunny from the WordPress repository, install, and activate it.
2. Connect Twilio: In DialBunny > Setup, enter your Twilio Account SID, Auth Token, and a purchased Twilio phone number.
3. Set Boundaries: Configure your timetable to limit call hours and test blocking with a sample number.
4. Go Live: Make a test call or text to your Twilio number, ensuring it hits the dashboard, not your phone.

Check the plugin’s docs for advanced tweaks, like AI routing or CRM syncing. Total setup time? Under 5 minutes for most users.
