Reasonably priced and convenient!

Why choose a Garden City virtual phone number?
Sell on Marketplace without giving out your main number
Post a couch or a car on Facebook Marketplace with a 734 number and buyers see you're local to the Garden City area. When the deal's done, you're not stuck with strangers texting your personal line.
Dating with a number that isn't tied to your real one
Match with someone from Garden City or nearby Westland and Livonia, and give them a number that keeps your personal contacts separate until you know them better.
Moving to or from the Detroit suburbs
If you're relocating out of Wayne County but want to keep a 734 number your old contacts recognize, or you're moving into Garden City and want a local code before you arrive, Ghost lets you pick the area code instead of waiting on a carrier.
Job hunting with a local presence
Applying to jobs around Garden City, Dearborn, or Detroit? A 734 or 313 number on your resume signals you're already local, which matters to hiring managers who prefer nearby candidates.
Keeping work and personal life apart
Freelancing, tutoring, or running a side gig from home in Garden City? Give clients a separate number so work calls don't follow you into evenings and weekends.
Community trust when you call back
Neighbors, landlords, and local buyers are more likely to pick up a call from a number they recognize as local to Wayne County than one from an unfamiliar area code.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can I get a Garden City phone number?
You can pick a 734 area code and start calling and texting within minutes of downloading Ghost. No waiting on a carrier or a store visit.
Can I choose a different area code than 734?
Yes. While 734 covers Garden City directly, you can also choose 313, 248, 947, 586, or 517 if you want a number tied to Detroit, Troy, Warren, or Lansing instead.

No. Ghost runs as an app on your existing iPhone. You keep your current number and add a second one on top of it.
