Why choose a Fargo virtual phone number?
Sell without giving out your real number
A 701 number tells Fargo buyers on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist you're local, not a stranger texting from out of state.
Look local on dating apps
Dating apps show your area code. A 701 number tells matches in Fargo you're actually nearby before you ever meet up.
Moving to Fargo
Get a 701 number before you arrive so your new landlord, coworkers, and neighbors see a local number from day one.
Job hunting in the area
A local 701 number on your resume signals you're already in the Fargo area, not applying from across state lines.
Keep your old number after relocating
Moving away from Fargo but not ready to let go of your 701 number? Keep it running on Ghost so old contacts can still reach you.

About Fargo

Population
136,285
Fargo's phone numbers use the 701 area code. It's the same code used across North Dakota, so a 701 number reads as a home-state number to anyone in the region.
Fargo runs on Central Time. Keep that in mind when coordinating calls with contacts further west, since your 701 number rings on Fargo's clock, not theirs.
Fargo is home to about 136,285 people, making it North Dakota's largest city. It sits along the Red River across from Moorhead, Minnesota, giving it close ties to communities in both states.
