Keep your real phone number private
Your phone number has quietly become an ID. It links your accounts, your address history, and your name. Ghost gives you second numbers to hand out instead, so your real one stays with the people who actually need it.
- Give out a second number instead of your own
- Up to 5 numbers for different parts of your life
- Delete a number when you're done with it
$60 every 2 months. Cancel anytime. No contracts.

Why your number is worth protecting
Most people change email addresses more often than phone numbers. That makes your number one of the most stable identifiers you have, and companies know it. It's how accounts get linked across sites, how data brokers match records, and often how someone resets your passwords.
Every form, loyalty program, and delivery app that asks for it adds another copy. When one of them leaks or sells its list, the spam calls and texts that follow are going to the number you can least afford to abandon.
A number for each part of your life
The simplest privacy habit is separation. Give each kind of contact its own number, and a leak in one place stays in one place.
- Shopping and loyalty programs: stores, restaurants, and delivery apps
- Strangers: marketplace buyers, dates, and contractors
- Work: clients and coworkers who don't need your personal line
- Everything else: raffles, Wi-Fi signups, and forms you don't trust
What a second number protects, and what it doesn't
A Ghost number keeps your real number out of the hands of the people and companies you give it to. They see the Ghost number when you call or text, not your own.
It doesn't make you invisible. Ghost keeps account records and responds to valid legal process, as described in our privacy policy. And some banks and websites won't accept app-based numbers for signup or security codes, so keep your real number for accounts that matter most.
Privacy settings inside Ghost
- Message previews: turn them off per number so notifications never show what a text says.
- Business hours: decide when each number can ring you.
- Contacts synced to your account: save people to a number without adding them to your phone's address book.
- Voicemail transcripts: encrypted in transit and at rest, private to your account.
Ghost can't be used for 911 or emergency calls, so keep your regular line for those.
