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 Hazel Crest virtual phone number?
25 miles from Chicago
Hazel Crest sits roughly 25 miles south of Chicago, and a lot of daily business, shopping, and service calls still runs through the city. A 708 Ghost number reads like it belongs to the area to anyone calling from downtown or the south side.
Cicero shares your area code
708 is common in Cicero, one of the larger inner suburbs on the way into Chicago. Picking a 708 number for Ghost means it blends in with numbers already saved in contacts across that stretch.
Aurora's codes reach further west
331 and 630 are carried by many in Aurora, out past Bolingbrook. If your work or family stretches that direction, one of those codes fits better than a number that looks like it came from somewhere else entirely.
Rockford numbers, kept separate
779 and 815 are common in Rockford, well north and west of Hazel Crest. Choosing one lets you hold onto a number that matches contacts up that way while keeping your day-to-day line untouched.
An Evanston-style line
224 is common in Evanston, on the opposite side of the Chicago metro. It's a practical option if you want a number that doesn't obviously trace back to the south suburbs, useful for keeping certain conversations apart from your regular circle.
