TRAVEL FORMS
TRAVEL DATA + A TEMPORARY NUMBER
Travel data for apps. A number for the trip.
Use the temporary number for travel forms and supported callbacks. Travel contacts use it instead of your personal number.
Calls, SMS and network type vary by plan.
WHY TARO
DATA + NUMBER
The difference from data-only.
DATA-ONLY
Travel data for apps.
TEMPORARY NUMBER
Forms and supported callbacks.
LOCAL-NETWORK DATA
A shorter local data path.
WHY A TRAVEL NUMBER
Use a travel number for bookings and callbacks—not your personal number.
Hotels and drivers may need a number for pickups or changes. Give them the temporary travel number.
ORDINARY CALLBACKS
Receive supported hotel and driver callbacks.
WHEN THE NUMBER EXPIRES
When it expires, later calls and messages stop.
PRIVACY FROM PURCHASE TO EXPIRY
Purchase information stays confidential. Travel businesses receive the temporary number.
-
WHEN YOU BUY
Taro keeps purchase information confidential.
-
DURING THE TRIP
Travel businesses receive the temporary number.
Your personal number stays off the booking.
-
WHEN THE PLAN ENDS
Expired travel numbers no longer reach you.
THE PRACTICAL DIFFERENCE
Data-only connects apps. Taro also adds a temporary travel number.
