Reasonably priced and convenient!

Why choose a Seaside virtual phone number?
Living between Monterey and Seaside
Monterey and Seaside share the 831 area code, so a Ghost number set to 831 looks the same whether you're renting near Monterey or working from Seaside.
Selling to buyers in Salinas and Watsonville
Salinas and Watsonville are the two largest towns near Seaside, and most people browsing local listings there expect an 831 number. Keep that on a second line and never hand out your personal one.
Keeping a San Jose number after moving to Seaside
A lot of people relocating from San Jose already carry a 408 or 669 number. Ghost lets you add a local 831 line for Seaside without dropping the number your San Jose contacts still use.
Cutting down on unwanted calls to your main line
Residents in this part of the Monterey Peninsula report a steady stream of unwanted robocalls and scam attempts to the FTC. Posting a Ghost number for classifieds or dating keeps those calls off your personal line.
Apartment hunting near Marina or Prunedale
If you're looking at rentals stretching from Marina to Prunedale, a local 831 number on your applications reads as someone already living in the area.

About Seaside

Population

Seaside sits on the Monterey Peninsula, where 831 covers Seaside itself along with neighboring Monterey and Marina. Many people who moved from San Jose still carry a 408 or 669 number, since both are San Jose area codes.
The region runs on Pacific time. 408 and 669 are overlay codes, meaning they sit on the same San Jose calling area rather than marking a different location, so either one can travel with someone who relocates to the Peninsula.
Residents in the Seaside area commonly report unwanted calls to the FTC, many involving robocalls about warranties, prize offers, or callers impersonating banks and government agencies.
