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 Newington virtual phone number?
Newington sits inside the Hartford metro
Hartford, New Britain, and West Hartford are all a short drive from Newington. A Ghost number with the 860 or 959 area code fits naturally into that same metro, whether you're messaging a buyer in New Britain or a landlord in West Hartford.
860 is the number a lot of Hartford already carries
The 860 area code is the same one carried by many people in and around Hartford. If most of your contacts stretch from Bristol to Middletown, an 860 Ghost number looks familiar to them right away.
959 is Hartford's newer overlay code
959 was layered on top of 860 to serve the same greater Hartford region, Newington included. Picking a 959 number gives you a second line for that area without touching whatever number you already use day to day.
203 still shows up in Connecticut contact lists
203 is tied to Bridgeport, on the other side of the state. Plenty of people in Newington still have old 203 contacts from family, school, or past jobs there, which makes a 203 Ghost number handy for reconnecting or reselling to buyers in that part of Connecticut.
Waterbury and Meriden buyers are close enough to matter
If you're listing furniture or a used car, someone from Waterbury or Meriden might drive over to see it. A second number lets you post the listing and talk to strangers from either town without handing out your main line.

Newington sits close enough to Hartford, New Britain, and East Hartford that a lot of local work runs through those bigger economies next door.
Insurance and financial services

Healthcare

Nearby East Hartford and Bristol have long-standing manufacturing and aerospace work, and Newington residents commuting to those jobs often want a number that stays separate from personal calls and texts.
About Newington

860 and 959 both cover the same stretch of central and eastern Connecticut, including Hartford, New Britain, Bristol, East Hartford, and Middletown. 203 sits on the other side of the state, centered on Bridgeport.
Newington runs on Eastern time, the same as the rest of Connecticut. Because 860 and 959 are overlay codes for one region, holding either on a Ghost number doesn't change who can reach you or when.
Like much of the state, residents around Newington deal with a steady flow of unknown callers and robocalls. Keeping a separate Ghost number for classifieds, dating apps, or new contacts keeps that traffic off the line people actually use to reach you.
