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 Palos Heights virtual phone number?
Part of the Chicago Metro
Palos Heights sits in the southwest reaches of the Chicago metro, alongside Orland Park and Cicero. A 708 number reads as home turf to contacts anywhere from Chicago to the near suburbs.
708 Also Rings True in Cicero
Cicero carries the same 708 area code as Palos Heights, so a 708 number works for contacts in both places without looking out of place.
331 and 630 Cover the Aurora Corridor
If your contacts are more out toward Aurora, Ghost lets you pick 331 or 630, both codes carried by many residents there.
779 and 815 Reach Toward Rockford
For ties north and west toward Rockford, 779 and 815 are common there, and you can choose either as your Ghost number.
224 Connects to Evanston
Evanston and the north shore run largely on 224. Pick that code if your day-to-day contacts sit closer to that side of the region.

About Palos Heights

Population
12,088
Palos Heights carries the 708 area code, the same code carried by many residents in Cicero. Ghost also offers 331 and 630, both common out in Aurora, plus 779 and 815, common around Rockford, and 224, common in Evanston. Picking one of these lets you match a number to wherever your contacts actually are.
The whole region runs on Central time, and several of these codes overlay the same area rather than splitting it in two, meaning 331 and 630 both serve the Aurora area, and 779 and 815 both serve the Rockford area.
Consumer complaint reports for the Chicago area point to unwanted robocalls and spam texts as an ongoing headache, which is part of why many people keep one number for family and another for everything else.
