Great app for privacy
This app was easy to set up, easy to use, and made me feel like my privacy was the main goal. I highly recommend Ghost overall other second number/privacy number apps out there. 5 stars all the way!

Why choose a Midlothian virtual phone number?
Part of the Chicago South Side mix
Midlothian sits inside the wider Chicago metro, close to bigger neighbors like Chicago itself and Orland Park. A 708 number reads as local across that whole stretch of the south suburbs.
Close to Joliet and Bolingbrook
If you're coordinating a move, a sale, or work with people out toward Joliet or Bolingbrook, a 708 number won't tip anyone off that you're calling from a different town.
708 also carries Cicero
Plenty of people in Cicero carry the same 708 code Midlothian uses. That overlap means your number fits in whether you're texting someone across town or a few towns over.
Family in Aurora or Rockford
If relatives or clients are out near Aurora, where 331 and 630 are common, or up near Rockford, where 779 and 815 are common, Ghost lets you pick a number that lands closer to them instead of sticking with 708.
Hammond and Gary across the state line
Midlothian isn't far from Hammond and Gary on the Indiana side. A local-feeling Illinois number can matter if you're keeping personal contacts on one side of the border and everything else on the other.

Population
13,870
The 708 area code covers Midlothian and is also carried by many people in Cicero, closer to Chicago. Farther out, 331 and 630 are common in Aurora to the west, 779 and 815 are common in Rockford to the north, and 224 is common in Evanston near the lake, giving you a real spread of choices depending on who you're calling.
All of these codes sit in the Central time zone, so a call or text lands the same time no matter which one you pick. 331 and 630 overlay the same part of Illinois, as do 779 and 815, meaning those pairs were added to the same region later, not split off to cover new ground.
Midlothian is a small city of 13,870 people tucked between much larger neighbors, Chicago, Naperville, and Joliet among them, inside one of the biggest metro areas in the state.
