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 Mendota virtual phone number?
Madera recognizes it
Madera sits within about 25 miles of Mendota and many residents there carry a 559 number. A 559 line on your phone reads as familiar to people in Madera, not like a stranger calling in.
Kerman is that close too
Kerman is another near neighbor, close enough that a 559 or 209 number doesn't stand out as coming from far away. That matters when you're coordinating with people just down the road.
559 is Fresno's code
559 is carried by many people around Fresno, the metro Mendota sits closest to. If most of your contacts, customers, or job leads are Fresno-based, a 559 number fits right in.
209 covers the Stockton side
209 is common in and around Stockton, further north up the Valley. If you deal with people in that direction, picking a 209 number instead of 559 can make more sense.
Two codes, one choice
Because Mendota can use either 559 or 209, you're not locked into one identity. Pick the code that matches whichever direction, Fresno or Stockton, your calls actually go.

Mendota's calling area runs on two overlapping codes. 559 is carried by many people around Fresno and the neighboring communities of Madera and Kerman, while 209 is common further north around Stockton. Both work from a Mendota number, so which one you pick depends on which direction your contacts are in.
Mendota runs on Pacific time, the same zone as the rest of California's Central Valley. Because 559 and 209 are overlay codes covering shared geography rather than separate regions, a number in either code sits in the same time zone and works the same way day to day.
Residents in this part of the Valley report the usual mix of unwanted calls people describe to the FTC nationwide, mostly scam and robocall attempts. Keeping a second number for selling, dating, or online listings means those calls land somewhere you can ignore, not on your main line.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can I get a Mendota phone number?
You download Ghost, pick 559 or 209, and you're calling and texting from your new number within minutes. No paperwork, no store visit.
Should I pick 559 or 209 for a Mendota number?
Go with 559 if most of your contacts are around Fresno, Madera, or Kerman. Go with 209 if you're dealing more with people up toward Stockton. Either one works from your Mendota-based Ghost number.
Can I use this number for selling things locally without giving out my personal cell?
Yes. Give buyers or renters your Ghost number instead of your real one. You still get the calls and texts, but your personal line stays off listings and message threads.
