Starting September 30, Airbnb will be replacing in the booking guests' actual phone numbers with temporary numbers.

Obviously, this is a move to prevent guests and hosts from doing business directly with each other.

Is OR aware of this and going to provide a way for us to get guest actual phone numbers so that they will be in the guests' contact records instead of the temporary numbers?

I know we can require ithem to be provided in the rental agreements, but that will require an extra step on hosts' parts to manually transcribe them from the RAs to the contact records.
