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 Central Falls virtual phone number?
Same Metro As Providence
Central Falls borders Providence, Rhode Island's largest city, and the two form one tight urban core. A 401 number here reads as local to anyone in that metro, whether you're meeting someone from a dating app or arranging a pickup for something you're selling.
Sandwiched Between Pawtucket and Providence
Central Falls sits between Pawtucket and Providence, three cities packed close together. If you're apartment or job hunting across that stretch, a Central Falls number keeps you reachable without handing your personal cell to every landlord or hiring manager.
One Area Code, Whole State
Rhode Island runs almost entirely on 401, a code also carried by many in Providence. A 401 number for Central Falls blends in with the rest of the state's numbers, without tying it to your home address.
Close to Fall River and Taunton, Too
Central Falls is within easy reach of Fall River and Taunton across the Massachusetts line. If you commute, date, or work across that border, a 401 number keeps your Rhode Island identity intact even when your day takes you into Massachusetts.
Keep Scam Calls Off Your Main Line
Like much of Rhode Island, Central Falls residents deal with a steady flow of unwanted robocalls and scam texts. Handing out a second Ghost number for online listings or new contacts keeps that noise off the line your family and close friends use.
