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 Pittsburgh virtual phone number?
One metro, three suburbs, one number
Pittsburgh runs together with Bethel Park and Monroeville as one metro area. A 412 number reads as local across that whole stretch, not just downtown.
412 is common well outside the city line
Carnegie and Sewickley both carry a lot of 412 numbers even though they're outside Pittsburgh proper. If you're dealing with people in either place, a 412 number looks familiar right away.
724 covers your Greensburg and Uniontown contacts
If you work with people around Greensburg or Uniontown, a 724 number matches what they already see on their phones, since both areas carry a lot of 724 numbers.
Skip the debt relief and impersonation calls on your main line
Pittsburgh residents' most reported unwanted calls to the FTC are debt relief offers and callers posing as government agencies or businesses. Hand out a second Ghost number for listings or new contacts and keep that noise off your personal line.
878 is the newer Pittsburgh option
878 was added on top of 412 to cover more Pittsburgh numbers as the area grew. Either one still reads as a Pittsburgh number to anyone you're calling or texting.

412 and 878 both cover Pittsburgh itself. 724 is tied to Greensburg and is also common in Uniontown, Homer City, Tarentum, and Waynesburg. Meanwhile 412 shows up heavily in Pleasant Hills, Sewickley, Oakdale, Carnegie, and White Oak, well beyond city limits.
Pittsburgh sits in the Eastern time zone. 412 and 878 are overlay codes, meaning they cover the same geographic area and were added together as the region needed more numbers. 724 covers a separate, more rural stretch to the east and south.
Residents in the Pittsburgh area mostly report robocalls and recorded messages to the FTC. The leading complaints are debt relief pitches, calls that go silent or drop, callers pretending to be government agencies, businesses, or family, and medical or prescription sales pitches.
