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 Hickory Hills virtual phone number?
Cicero's 708 is right next door
Hickory Hills sits just southwest of Cicero, and 708 is a code plenty of people there carry. If your landlord, buyer, or new contact already expects 708, a number in that code won't stand out.
Aurora shares two area codes with you
West of Hickory Hills, Aurora is paired with both 331 and 630. If you're dealing with someone out that way, whether it's a rental, a sale, or a new contact, matching one of those codes keeps things simple.
Rockford's numbers reach the north
779 and 815 are tied to Rockford, well north of Hickory Hills. A number in either code makes sense if you've got family, a landlord, or business ties up in that part of the state.
Evanston's 224 overlaps here too
224 is paired with Evanston, on the north side of the Chicago metro. Picking that code fits if most of the people you're texting or calling are up that direction.
Chicago sets the tone for the metro
Hickory Hills is part of the greater Chicago area, and Chicago itself anchors the whole region. Whichever of the six codes you pick, having a number that fits the metro matters more here than in most small towns, since so many contacts expect it.

About Hickory Hills
Area codes in service
6
Population
14,118
Hickory Hills carries six area codes. 708 is common in Cicero, just to the east. 331 and 630 are tied to Aurora, west of the city. 779 and 815 reach up toward Rockford, and 224 is paired with Evanston on the north side of the metro.
Illinois runs on Central time, so every one of these codes shares the same clock. 331 and 630 overlay the same Aurora-area region rather than splitting it in two, and 779 and 815 do the same for the Rockford area.
Illinois residents, like people across the country, report a steady stream of unwanted robocalls and spam texts to the FTC. Many keep a second number for online marketplaces and dating apps so those calls land on a line they can delete and replace, not their main number.
