Best private app
Ghost is the best app by far I have come across keeping my real identity and information private. This app is great and it would be a total loss if taking away! I give 10 stars ! Have been using…

Why choose a Lake Hiawatha virtual phone number?
You're minutes from Newark and Jersey City
Lake Hiawatha sits inside the wider Newark and Jersey City corridor, both within about 25 miles. A local-sounding number matters when you're texting people across that stretch for work, sales, or anything else.
973 and 862 are Newark's numbers too
Both codes are carried by many people in Newark, not just Lake Hiawatha. If you're doing business or dating across that line, a 973 or 862 number reads as familiar on either end.
201 and 551 sound like Jersey City
These two codes are common in Jersey City. Choosing one for your second number is a way to have a line that feels local to people up that way, without changing where you actually live.
908 links you to Elizabeth
908 is the code many in Elizabeth carry. If your work, family, or a move has you dealing with people down that corridor, a 908 number keeps that connection looking local.
Keep telemarketers off your main line
Unwanted sales calls and spoofed numbers are a common complaint across New Jersey. Handing out a second Lake Hiawatha number for listings, dating apps, or new contacts keeps that noise away from your real line.
