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…

Collegedale numbers run on the 865 area code, the same code many residents in nearby Knoxville also carry. It's the single code assigned to Collegedale, so every Ghost number here starts with 865, whether you're reaching someone in Chattanooga, Cleveland, East Ridge, or across the line in Dalton, Georgia.
Collegedale sits in the Eastern time zone along with the rest of this part of Tennessee. Because only one area code, 865, is assigned here, there's no overlay to sort through, every Collegedale Ghost number shares that one code.
Residents in this part of Tennessee, like much of the country, report a steady stream of unwanted calls and texts from unknown numbers. Keeping a separate Ghost number for online listings, dating profiles, or new contacts keeps that traffic off your main line.
