How Contactable works

Give someone three words, not your phone number.

Contactable is a simple way to let someone message you without handing over your real number, email, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, or social profile straight away.

Example message

Here are my three words:

green river calm

Go to Contactable, type them in, and message me there.

What you say

Keep it casual.

Hey, I do not give my number out straight away.

Go to Contactable and enter these three words:

green river calm

You can message me privately there.

1

Create your token

Press Make me contactable on the homepage. You get a public three-word token and a private owner link. The public token is safe to share. The owner link stays private.

2

Share the words

Send the words to the person you want to hear from. They type them into Contactable and send the first message.

3

Talk in private

You decide whether to accept, reply, or destroy the chat. Your real contact details stay yours.

Share this

  • Your three public words.
  • The public link or QR code if you prefer.
  • A shared passphrase only if you added one.

Keep this private

  • Your owner/manage link.
  • Your real phone number until you choose to share it.
  • Your email, WhatsApp, Instagram, or personal profile.

Easy to say

Use it like a tiny private doorway.

"I do not give my number out straight away. Here are my Contactable words: green river calm."

"Go to Contactable, type these three words in, and message me there."

"If everything feels good, we can swap real details later."

Useful for dating

Let someone send the first message without getting your number. If it feels right, carry on. If it does not, destroy the chat.

Useful for selling

Arrange collection or questions without putting your phone number into marketplace messages, posters, or local groups.

Useful for one-off contact

Events, lost property, community notices, freelance enquiries, short jobs, deliveries, meetups, and anything temporary.

Ready when you are

Make a token, share three words, stay in control.
