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 Dallas virtual phone number?
One number for a metro that runs together
Dallas, Plano, and Irving function as one stretch of daily life for a lot of people who work in one city and live in another. A Dallas number lets you show up as local across that whole metro without switching lines depending on where you are.
214 reads as home in more than just Dallas
A lot of people in Carrollton, Irving, Duncanville, Frisco, and Flower Mound carry 214 numbers too, so a 214 Ghost number doesn't just tell people you're in Dallas proper, it fits the whole cluster of towns around it.
469 covers a wider circle than you'd expect
Richardson, Murphy, Plano, Frisco, and Lewisville all have plenty of residents carrying 469 numbers. If your contacts are spread across that ring north of Dallas, a 469 Ghost number sits naturally among them.
972 is common well outside city limits
Grand Prairie, Richardson, Irving, Garland, and Prosper all show up with a lot of 972 numbers. A 972 line on Ghost blends in whether you're texting someone in downtown Dallas or out past Grand Prairie.
Impersonation calls are the top complaint here
Dallas residents' most reported unwanted-call issue to the FTC is callers posing as government agencies, businesses, or even family. Keeping a second Ghost number for listings, dating profiles, or new contacts keeps your main line off the lists those calls come from.

214 is the original Dallas code and is also carried by a lot of people in Carrollton, Irving, Duncanville, Frisco, and Flower Mound. 469 was added later as an overlay and shows up heavily in Richardson, Murphy, Plano, Frisco, and Lewisville, while 972 is common in Grand Prairie, Richardson, Irving, Garland, and Prosper. 945 is a newer overlay layered onto the same Dallas area.
All four codes, 214, 469, 945, and 972, sit on the same geographic overlay, they cover the same region rather than separate slices of it. Dallas runs on Central Time, so a Ghost number here matches the clock for anyone you're texting or calling in the surrounding metro.
Looking at recent FTC complaint data from Dallas residents, a large share of the unwanted calls reported were robocalls or recordings. The most common topics people flagged were scammers posing as government agencies, businesses, or family, followed by debt relief pitches, medical and prescription offers, and calls that go silent or drop as soon as they connect.
