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 an Olympia virtual phone number?
Lacey and Tumwater are basically next door
Olympia runs right into Lacey and Tumwater with no real break between them. A 360 or 564 number reads as local across all three without you having to explain where you actually live.
Centralia carries the same codes you do
Head south on I-5 and Centralia residents are dialing out on 360 and 564 too. If you have family, clients, or a landlord down that way, your Olympia number already looks familiar to them.
253 reads local toward Tacoma
A lot of people in Lakewood, University Place, Parkland, and Spanaway carry a 253 number, even though that code is anchored in Tacoma. If your work or dating pool leans that direction, picking 253 instead of 360 can match the crowd you're talking to.
Debt relief offers top the local complaint list
Residents in the area report more unwanted robocalls about debt relief than almost anything else. A second number takes the hit from those lists and keeps your main line for people you actually know.
Impersonation scams are close behind
Callers posing as government agencies, businesses, or even family members are the second most reported issue locally. Handing out a Ghost number instead of your real one gives you an easy way to screen and drop it if it turns out to be nothing.

360 and 564 are overlay codes that cover Olympia itself, and the same pair extends to Lacey, Tumwater, and Centralia. Further north toward Tacoma, a lot of people in Lakewood, University Place, Parkland, and Spanaway carry a 253 number instead, and 206 is common among people connected to Seattle.
The whole region sits in the Pacific time zone. Because 360 and 564 overlay the same area rather than splitting it geographically, neither code tells you anything about where in the region someone lives, just that they're local to it.
Looking at what residents recently reported to the FTC, a large share of the unwanted calls were robocalls or recordings. The top complaints, in order, were debt relief pitches, callers impersonating government agencies, businesses, or family members, silent or dropped calls, and medical or prescription sales pitches.
