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 Chesapeake virtual phone number?
Chesapeake sits inside the Virginia Beach-Norfolk stretch
Chesapeake borders Virginia Beach and Norfolk directly, and the three run together as one metro. A 757 number fits that whole stretch without looking out of place.
The same 757 many in Hampton and Newport News carry
People across the water in Hampton and Newport News carry 757 numbers too. If you're texting a buyer or a match over there, your Chesapeake number reads the same as theirs.
Suffolk and Portsmouth are right next door
Suffolk and Portsmouth sit within about twenty five miles of Chesapeake, and both fall under the same 757 code. A local number keeps you looking like a neighbor, not an out of towner.
Debt relief and impersonation calls top what people report
Residents in this area report unwanted calls mostly about debt relief offers and callers impersonating government agencies or businesses. Handing out a second number for selling or dating keeps that traffic off your main line.
757 reads as local from one side of Chesapeake to the other
Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Suffolk and Portsmouth all sit under 757. Picking that code for a Ghost number means it fits wherever in Hampton Roads you're reaching someone.
