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 Ontario virtual phone number?
Ontario sits between Anaheim and Riverside
Ontario sits along the corridor connecting Anaheim to the west and Riverside to the south. If you're coordinating a move, a sale, or a first meeting across that stretch, a number carrying an Inland Empire area code reads as local on either side.
951 is common in Riverside
Area code 951 is carried by many people in Riverside, just down the freeway. Picking it for your Ghost number makes sense if most of your calls and texts head that direction.
626 reads local near Pasadena
If your work, family, or old contacts are clustered around Pasadena, a 626 number keeps that connection visible instead of showing up as an unfamiliar area code.
909 is common in San Bernardino
San Bernardino sits just north of Ontario and shares the 909 code with a lot of local numbers. Choosing 909 for your second line keeps things looking familiar to contacts on that side of the county.
Debt relief offers top the unwanted call list
Residents here report more unwanted robocalls about debt relief offers than anything else, followed by medical pitches and impersonation scams. Handing out a Ghost number for online listings or dating profiles keeps your main line off those lists.

Ontario numbers can carry six different area codes. 909 is common in nearby San Bernardino, 951 is common in Riverside to the south, 626 is common around Pasadena, 657 and 714 are common in Anaheim to the west, and 562 is common in Long Beach. Pick whichever one matches where most of your calls and texts already go.
The whole region runs on Pacific time, so calling anyone in Anaheim, Riverside, San Bernardino, or Long Beach lines up on the same clock. Several of these codes overlay the same stretch of Southern California, which is why more than one of them can feel local here.
Most unwanted calls people in the area report to the FTC are robocalls or recorded messages. The complaints line up in order behind debt relief offers, medical and prescription pitches, impersonation scams posing as government or family, and energy or solar sales pitches.
