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 Dunmore virtual phone number?
Scranton right next door
Dunmore sits right on Scranton's border, close enough that the two run together as one area. A Dunmore number carrying 272 or 570 reads as local to anyone across that stretch.
Wilkes-Barre isn't far either
Wilkes-Barre sits down the highway from Dunmore, part of the same corner of Lackawanna and Luzerne counties. A number carrying 272 or 570 moves naturally between the two cities.
272 is the newer overlay
272 was added later as an overlay on the same Scranton footprint as 570, so a Dunmore number with 272 still reads as part of the Scranton area.
570 is the original Scranton code
570 has served the wider Scranton region since before the overlay was added, and it's still the code most residents recognize as home.

About Dunmore
Area codes in service

Population
14,249
Two area codes cover this part of northeastern Pennsylvania: 570, the original code for the Scranton area, and 272, an overlay added later to serve the same footprint. Dunmore falls inside both, and either one reads as local to anyone in the Scranton area.
Dunmore runs on Eastern Time, same as the rest of Pennsylvania. Because 272 and 570 overlay the same region rather than splitting it by neighborhood, both codes are used interchangeably depending on when a line was activated.
Dunmore is a small city of about 14,249 people, sitting right against Scranton's edge. At that size, a number carrying a familiar local area code still stands out as recognizably from this corner of the state.
