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 a Beltsville virtual phone number?
Washington, DC is next door
Beltsville sits close enough to Washington, DC that many residents work, date, or shop across that line. A Beltsville number with a 240 or 301 area code reads as local to contacts throughout that stretch of Maryland and the district.
Silver Spring shares your area code
The 240 and 301 codes on a Beltsville number are the same ones carried by many people in Silver Spring, just down the road. That overlap makes it easy to look like a familiar local caller to friends, clients, or dates in that direction.
Baltimore is also an option
If more of your contacts are north toward Baltimore, a Beltsville number can carry the 410, 443, or 667 code instead, all common there. That lets you pick whichever direction, DC or Baltimore, matches where the people you're calling actually live.
Columbia and Ellicott City are close by
Beltsville is within easy reach of Columbia and Ellicott City, two Maryland towns many residents pass through for work or errands. Keeping the same number as you move between these places means contacts never have to update anything.

Beltsville numbers can carry the 240 or 301 area code, the same overlay used by many in Silver Spring just to the southwest. For contacts further north, the same Beltsville number can instead use 410, 443, or 667, the overlay common in Baltimore.
All of these codes sit in the Eastern time zone, and each overlay, 240/301 and 410/443/667, covers one shared region rather than marking a specific town, so the code alone doesn't tell someone whether a number is older or newer or exactly which neighborhood it's from.
Residents across this part of Maryland report the common mix of unwanted robocalls and spoofed numbers that shows up in complaints to the FTC, one more reason many people keep a second number separate from the one friends and family use.
