Great app
Love this app. It’s easy to set up and use. I really feel safer knowing that my real number isn’t being used when I have to enter a phone number online. Plus this app is transparent. They don’t hide anything…

Why choose an Albany virtual phone number?
Corvallis, ten minutes down the highway
Corvallis sits just southwest of Albany, close enough that people commute for work and school between the two. A number in 541 or 458 reads as familiar in both places.
541 and 458 sound like Eugene
Those two codes are common among Eugene residents to the south. Picking one means your number feels local to anyone throughout the mid-Willamette Valley, not just in Albany.
503 and 971 sound like Portland
Many people north in Portland carry 503 or 971. If your calls and texts mostly head that direction, one of those codes fits right in.
Salem, about 25 miles north
Salem is the largest neighboring city, and plenty of Albany residents work with or commute to contacts there. A second number keeps that traffic separate from your main line.
Fewer unwanted calls on your main line
Albany residents deal with the same run of scam and robocall traffic reported across the region. Handing out a Ghost number for listings, dating profiles, or new contacts keeps that noise off the phone your friends and family use.

About Albany

Population

Albany sits between two area code regions. To the south, toward Eugene, 541 and 458 are the numbers most residents carry. To the north, toward Portland and Salem, 503 and 971 are common. Because Albany sits close to both regions, a Ghost number in any of the four fits comfortably here.
The whole area runs on Pacific Time, so calls and texts land on the same clock whether the contact is in Albany, Corvallis, or Salem. 541 and 458 are overlaid on the same southern Oregon region, and 503 and 971 are overlaid on the same Portland-area region, so picking either code in a pair doesn't change who reads it as local.
Like much of the region, Albany residents report a steady stream of unwanted calls, mostly scam and robocall traffic. Keeping a separate number for online listings, dating apps, or new contacts is a simple way to keep that traffic away from the line your close contacts use.
