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 Selah virtual phone number?
Selah sits inside the Yakima metro
Selah borders Yakima, and the two towns function as one metro area for jobs, shopping, and daily errands. A 509 number fits right into that shared world without tying every text back to your main line.
Ellensburg is close enough to matter
Ellensburg is about 25 miles up the valley, a common commute or move for people in Selah. Carrying a 509 number keeps that connection intact if you're going back and forth for work or school.
509 stretches all the way to Spokane
The 509 area code covers a huge swath of eastern Washington, from Selah out to Spokane. That reach means a 509 number reads as familiar to people well outside the Yakima Valley, not just next door.
Spoofed local numbers are common here
Robocallers often spoof local-looking 509 numbers to get people in the Yakima Valley to pick up. Giving out a second Ghost number for listings or dating profiles keeps that noise off your main line.

The 509 area code covers Selah along with nearby Yakima and Ellensburg, and stretches east to Spokane. It's one of the largest area codes in the state by geography, so a 509 number reads as local across a wide stretch of central and eastern Washington.
Selah runs on Pacific time, same as the rest of Washington. Because 509 is an overlay code for the whole eastern half of the state, a Selah number and a Spokane number share the exact same area code even though the cities are hours apart.
Residents in the Selah and Yakima area report the usual mix of unwanted calls people see across the 509 region, mostly robocalls and spoofed numbers made to look local. A second number through Ghost keeps that traffic away from your main line.
