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 Middleton virtual phone number?
Middleton sits inside the Madison metro
Middleton borders Madison directly, and the two form one connected metro area. A 608 number reads as local whether you're coordinating with someone across town or across the city line.
Sun Prairie and Fitchburg share your code
608 also covers Sun Prairie and Fitchburg. If you're meeting people or making deals across that stretch of Dane County, your number looks like it belongs there because it does.
Verona and Waunakee dial the same area code
Verona and Waunakee are also on 608. That matters if you're job hunting or arranging pickups anywhere in the towns ringing Middleton, since a local code carries more trust than an out-of-area one.
608 spans all of Dane County
One area code covering Middleton, Madison, and the surrounding suburbs means a single 608 number works across the whole county without looking like it's from somewhere else.

608 is the area code tied to Middleton and it's the same code carried by Madison, Sun Prairie, Fitchburg, Verona, and Waunakee. That means one number reads as local across Middleton and the towns around it.
Middleton runs on Central Time along with the rest of the 608 region, so there's no overlay code to sort out and no split time zones to account for when you're setting up a number here.
Like a lot of communities, Middleton residents deal with their share of unwanted sales calls and robocalls. Keeping a second number for listings, dating profiles, or new contacts gives you a line you can screen or drop without touching the number your close contacts already have.
