Why can't my phone number be given to the guest so that they can contact me when they reach my city.

Why can't the guest be given our phone numbers so that they can contact me when they reach our city. i just missed out one booking today because we could not contact each other.

they have to book 1st... If you guest could get phone numbers 1st people would just go around Airbnb.

@Raleigh3 

Phone numbers and address are visible after booking.

Salute @Raleigh3, 

If it is possible for you, i agree with  Branka-and-Silvia0. Also, you could give your phone number and direction place, during your communication with your guests. 

Thanks, 

Miloud

I request that all correspondence be made via the message app. The only time I allow my personal phone to be used is when a guest does not own a smart phone OR there is a large party and various members need an EMERGENCY contact. I like knowing there is a "paper trail" for Airbnb. Written messages go a long way as evidence when things go off the rails.
