What Should I Do If I Don’t Have a Mobile Phone but Want to Post a Job?

If you're trying to post a job but can’t proceed without a mobile number, here’s why it’s required and what you can do:
 

Why Do I Need to Provide a Mobile Number?

A valid mobile number is required for a few important reasons:

1. Account Verification
   To maintain the quality and security of our platform, we require mobile verification to confirm that job requests are legitimate and submitted by real people.
2. Easy Communication with Businesses
   Once your job is live, businesses may need to reach you quickly to:
   • Ask follow-up questions
   • Confirm details before quoting
   • Schedule a time for an inspection or job start

Having a mobile number ensures you don’t miss out on potential responses.
 

Your Privacy is Important

We understand that sharing personal contact details can be a concern. Rest assured:

• Your number is only shared with businesses you engage with
• It is not displayed publicly
• We never sell your personal data
   

What If I Don’t Have a Mobile Number?

At this stage, a mobile number is required to post a job on Oneflare. If you don’t currently have access to one, we recommend:

• Using a trusted family member’s or friend’s number (with their permission)
• Getting a prepaid mobile service if you’re planning to post jobs regularly

This helps ensure a smooth experience for both you and the businesses quoting on your job.
