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 Pike Creek Valley virtual phone number?
Wilmington is right next door
Pike Creek Valley sits just outside Wilmington, Delaware's biggest city, and a 302 number reads as familiar to anyone there. That matters if you're job hunting or dealing with people across the metro.
Newark and the university connection
Newark, home to the University of Delaware, is a short drive away. A local 302 number keeps you looking like part of that same community when you're coordinating with students, landlords, or coworkers.
Crossing into Chester County
West Chester and Chester, Pennsylvania are close by but across the state line. Keeping a 302 number makes it clear you're based in Delaware, even when you're doing business or dating people over there.
One area code, the whole state
302 is the only area code in Delaware, so a Pike Creek Valley number looks just as local in Middletown or Bear as it does at home. No need to juggle numbers as you move around the state.
A short trip to Elkton, Maryland
Elkton sits just over the Maryland line. If you're going back and forth for work or family, a 302 number signals you're still rooted in Delaware, not just passing through.

About Pike Creek Valley

Delaware runs on a single area code, 302, which covers Pike Creek Valley along with Wilmington, Newark, Middletown, and Bear. Nearby communities like Chester and West Chester, Pennsylvania, and Elkton, Maryland sit close by but fall outside that code, since they're in different states.
Pike Creek Valley is in the Eastern time zone, same as the rest of Delaware and its neighbors in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Because Delaware has just one area code, there's no need to think about overlay codes or which prefix belongs where within the state.
Like residents elsewhere, people in this part of Delaware report getting unwanted sales calls and robocalls on their personal cellphones. Keeping a separate number for selling items online, dating, or short-term work keeps that traffic off your main line.
