Hi all,I was thinking whether it is safe to share you cell/mobile phone number online and whether this can lead to identity theft.

Ok so apparently it's not a safe practice to share mobile phone number online. But can anyone explain why?

Never give out your cellphone number to someone you don't know.

In our country, it is usual to give your cp no and it doesn't lead to identity theft coz most of the cp no is prepaid.

I'm not sure if it can lead to identity theft but I am very leary about giving my cell number to anyone online that I don't know.
