- Send photos, group messages, and voice notes.
- Works on the phone you already have.
Encrypted Voicemail
Missed a call? Ghost transcribes your voicemail so you can read it in seconds instead of dialing in to listen. Every voicemail is encrypted in transit and at rest, and private to your account, so the caller, transcript, and audio are yours alone.
Get the message without the wait.
- Voicemails transcribed automatically.
- Encrypted in transit and at rest, private to your account.
- Skim the important part in seconds.
Auto-Reply
Set an automatic reply for when you cannot get to your phone. Buyers, dates, and clients get an answer, and you stay in control of the conversation.
Stay responsive without staying glued to your screen.
- Send instant replies when you are away.
- Great for selling, dating, and side work.
- Keep conversations moving on your schedule.
Disposable Numbers
Use a number for a signup, a sale, or a trip, then delete it and get a fresh one. No commitment, no trail following you around.
A number for the moment, gone when you are.
- Create a number for one-time verifications.
- Delete anytime, no questions asked.
- Spin up a new number instantly.
Custom Contacts
Contacts you save in Ghost belong to your account, not to one phone. Switch phones, reinstall the app, or sign in on a second device — they are already there.
Import from your phone or keep a private list that exists only inside Ghost, separate from your real address book. Texting someone new? Save them in one tap right from the conversation.
- Synced to your account — a reinstall cannot touch them.
- Import from your phone, or keep Ghost-only contacts.
- Save a new number in one tap from the conversation.
Business Hours
Give each Ghost number a schedule. During open hours it rings like any phone. After hours, callers go straight to voicemail — and you pick the conversation back up when you are on the clock.
Pick the days, set the hours, done. Overnight schedules work, times follow your phone's time zone, and texts still arrive quietly either way.
- Pick open days and hours for each number.
- After hours, calls go straight to voicemail.
- Texts still arrive. Overnight hours and time zones handled.
Text Signature
Selling, freelancing, or running a team line? Add a signature and every text you send from that number carries it — your name, your business, whatever belongs under your words.
Set it once per number. Ghost adds it on its own line under every message, so the people you text always know exactly who is writing.
- Your name or business under every text.
- A different signature for each number.
- Set it once — never type it again.
Email Notifications
At a desk all day? Turn on email notifications and every text to your Ghost number lands in your inbox too — read it there, answer from the app when you are ready.
It is per number, so your work line can email you while your private line stays quiet. And the email respects your message-preview setting: previews off means the email says you got a text, not what it says.
- An email the moment a text arrives.
- Per number — work line on, private line off.
- Respects your message-preview privacy setting.
Message Previews
Anyone can glance at a lock screen. Turn previews off for a number and its notifications simply say you got a text — the message itself stays inside the app, behind your phone's lock.
Leave previews on where speed matters, turn them off where privacy does. Each number decides for itself, and the setting carries through to email alerts too.
- Off: notifications say you got a text, never what it says.
- Set per number, changed any time.
- Carries through to email alerts.
Every Device Rings
Your Ghost number lives in your account, not in one phone. Sign in on a second device or in the browser and your conversations, contacts, and voicemail are already there waiting.
When a call comes in, every signed-in device rings — answer on whichever is closest.
- Texts, calls, and contacts sync everywhere.
- Incoming calls ring every signed-in device.
- Works in the browser — no install needed.
