Tigits

ABOUT US

Tigits is one of North America’s first providers of secondary, changeable phone numbers initially focused on the online dating and classified consumer markets. Our solution addresses a primary problem in these markets – security and privacy. The subscriber’s real phone number is masked by a set of temporary digits, or Tigits, offering subscribers voice connectivity without compromising security or privacy.

Partnered with one of Canada’s leading telecommunications companies, Tigits is available to customers of ALL phone service providers in the Greater Toronto Area with a Canada-wide launch scheduled soon and a U.S. expansion following shortly.
