The third object of the new invented service method is to let a registered member user use his original phone number and mask phone number arbitrarily, separately, and independently. When the registered member user set his mask number opened, his original number is masked. At the moment, the connected recipient's phone device will show caller's mask number instead of his original number.
The connected recipient don't see caller's original number and keep the member user's privacy good. When the registered member user set his mask number closed, his original number is exposed and any contacted recipient's phone device will show the caller's original number again.
