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 Fairfax virtual phone number?
You're inside the D.C. stretch, not off to the side
Fairfax sits close to Washington, DC, Arlington, and Alexandria. A 571 or 703 number reads as part of that same corridor instead of an out-of-town line.
703 and 571 are Arlington numbers too
Both of Fairfax's area codes are also carried by many phone numbers in Arlington. If you're texting someone up the road, your number won't look like it's coming from far away.
Centreville and Dale City won't see a stranger
A lot of daily life around Fairfax runs through Centreville and Dale City. A local area code keeps your number recognizable to people in those towns without handing out your main line.
Impersonation calls are the top complaint here
Residents in the area report a lot of callers posing as government agencies, businesses, or family members. Using a second number for marketplace or dating contacts keeps that traffic off your real line.
Silent and dropped calls are common in this area
A large share of unwanted calls reported around Fairfax are silent or drop the moment you answer. A second number lets you screen those out without tying up the number people actually know you by.
