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 Midland virtual phone number?
Part of the Tacoma stretch
Midland sits just outside Tacoma, between South Hill and Lakewood, so a 253 number reads as home turf whether you're meeting someone in Lakewood or shipping an item to a buyer in South Hill.
206 puts you on Seattle's map
If a job search, dating pool, or side project reaches into Seattle, a 206 number signals you're already on that side of the Sound instead of calling in from across the water.
425 works for Bellevue-side plans
Commuting toward Bellevue or coordinating a move to the Eastside gets easier when your number matches that half of the region, no need to actually live there yet.
360 reaches toward Olympia
Ties running south to Olympia, whether for work, family, or an apartment search, can carry a 360 number so those calls land as familiar instead of unknown.
Kent, Renton, Auburn, and Federal Way all nearby
Selling something to a buyer in Kent or Auburn, or coordinating a move through Renton or Federal Way, is simpler when Midland's spot near all four means your number doesn't advertise that you're new to the area.

About Midland
Area codes in service

Population
9,962
Midland's area codes cover different slices of the Puget Sound region: 253 is carried by many in Tacoma, right next door; 206 by Seattle to the north; 425 by Bellevue and the Eastside; and 360 by Olympia to the south. Picking one lets you match whichever side of the map matters most to you.
All four sit in the Pacific time zone, and in Washington they work as overlay codes, meaning more than one code can serve the same physical area rather than splitting it up by distance. That's why a 253, 206, 425, or 360 number can all ring out from the same stretch of the state.
Like much of the densely populated Puget Sound corridor, residents around Midland deal with their share of spam and robocalls on top of everyday texts and calls. A second number kept separate for selling online, dating, or new contacts keeps that traffic off your main line.
