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 Murrells Inlet virtual phone number?
The Myrtle Beach stretch runs on one number
Murrells Inlet sits right against Myrtle Beach, and a lot of daily life, from seasonal work to weekend plans, crosses that line. A Ghost number with an 843 code fits either side without you juggling two phones.
Conway trips don't need a new number
Conway is close enough that errands, appointments, or county business there are routine for Murrells Inlet residents. Your 843 number reads the same whether you're calling from the Inlet or from Conway.
Socastee is basically next door
Socastee borders Murrells Inlet closely enough that renters, buyers, and sellers move between the two constantly. A local number makes you look like the neighbor you probably already are.
843 stretches from the Inlet to Charleston
The 843 area code is carried by many residents from Murrells Inlet all the way down to Charleston. That means a Ghost number here still reads as familiar up and down a long piece of the South Carolina coast.
Keep telemarketers off your main line
Plenty of people in this area report getting more sales calls and robocalls than they'd like. Handing out a second number for listings, apps, or new contacts keeps that noise off the phone your family actually uses.

Murrells Inlet uses the 843 area code, the same code carried by many residents in nearby Myrtle Beach and Conway, as well as Socastee and Red Hill close by, and by many further down the coast in Charleston. A Murrells Inlet number fits naturally across that whole stretch.
The area runs on Eastern Time. Because 843 is the only code tied to Murrells Inlet, there's no second overlay code to think about here the way there is in some bigger metro areas.
Residents in this part of the coast commonly report unwanted sales calls and robocalls as a recurring nuisance. A separate number for public listings, dating apps, or new business contacts keeps that traffic away from the line people actually use to reach you.
