FenceChat gives you an email address and SMS number. The sender uses them like any other email address or number. They never see your real details, and they never need to cooperate.
All contact flows through your FenceChat address. Your real email and phone are never in the picture.
Two channels, both working the same way: your real details stay hidden on both.
You get a dedicated @fencechat.com email address the moment you sign up. Share it with whoever needs to contact you. Emails sent to it pass through FenceChat. They are filtered, archived, then forwarded to your real inbox. See how the message filter and Message Archive work.
Add the person to your contacts and we give you your FenceChat number to share with them. Only the people you add can SMS it. Their texts arrive at FenceChat first, are filtered, then delivered to your inbox and Dashboard, and your real mobile number stays completely hidden. More on email and SMS filtering.
There is nothing to install and nothing to configure on the other person’s side.
Create your account. Your dedicated FenceChat email address is generated immediately, something like you@fencechat.com.
Give the hostile person your FenceChat email or SMS number. Do this as you normally would by text, email, or just tell them.
They send to your FenceChat email address or SMS number in the same way as usual. No new app to use or cooperation required from them. They get a one-time notice that messages are processed by AI and stored.
The message arrives in your real inbox (filtered) and in your FenceChat Archive (original). Your real details are never exposed at any point.
The relay is useful any time you need to stay reachable without putting your real contact details at risk.
You need to stay reachable for child logistics without handing your personal number or email to an ex-partner who misuses it. The relay stays open for necessary communication while keeping your private life separate. See how to hide your phone number from an ex.
When communication with an ex-partner, former business associate, or landlord needs to continue, but you want every message routed through a neutral system with automatic records. Unlike a second phone number, a relay keeps that record for you.
You cannot simply cut off contact, but you do not want to expose your direct line. A FenceChat relay address gives them a reachable contact while keeping your real details protected. See hostile business communication tools.
Keep communication open through a dedicated address, separate from your personal inbox, with every message automatically logged in case you need a record later. See our guide to landlord and tenant disputes.
Your dedicated FenceChat email address is ready the moment you sign up.
