How is your mobile number used?

Your login phone number is the number you use to sign into CAREFUL. This is a personal credential that is never displayed to other users in your organisation.

Where you'll see it:

• In the login form when signing in
• In your profile under "Cell / Mobile number" (with most of the digits masked, e.g. +441632*****960)
• When receiving verification codes via SMS

Privacy protection:

• Never visible to other users
• Always displayed with masking when shown to you
• Used only for authentication purposes

Your contact number is displayed on your user profile so that colleagues can reach you, especially when you're on duty. This can be any appropriate number for work communication.

Where you'll see it:

• In your profile under "Contact / Bleep number" (shown in full, not masked)
• When setting yourself to on duty (you'll be asked to verify it)
• On other users' profiles (you can see their contact numbers)

Common uses:

• Your personal mobile (if you're happy sharing it with colleagues)
• A pager or bleep number
• A department phone line
• Your secretary's number
• Hospital switchboard extension
