Can I remove my phone number from a Craigslist ad?

Asked 2 years ago
Yes, it is possible to remove your phone number from a Craigslist ad, but the exact steps can vary depending on how you initially posted the ad. If you still have access to the original posting, you can edit the ad to remove your contact information. Typically, there is an option to edit your ad on the Craigslist website. By selecting that option, you can change the details of your listing, including deleting the phone number. If you cannot access your ad for any reason, you may wish to consider flagging the ad for removal. Flagging is a way to alert Craigslist to issues with the posting, and it could lead to its removal. It is important to remember that once an ad is flagged, the process may take some time, and there are no guarantees that it will be taken down. If you need further assistance, it can be helpful to look at the help section or the contact information on the current Craigslist web page for more detailed guidance. It is always a good practice to keep your personal information secure when posting online.
