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 Stony Brook virtual phone number?
The same digits as Brentwood
631 is common in Brentwood, just down the road on Long Island. A Stony Brook number with that code reads as local to anyone you're dealing with nearby.
A 516 number feels like Hempstead
Many people in Hempstead carry a 516 number. Picking that code for your Ghost line gives you a number that fits in across Nassau County, not just around Stony Brook.
914 ties you to Yonkers
914 is carried by many people in Yonkers, up in Westchester. That's handy if you're job hunting or renting somewhere that expects a number with that prefix.
Bridgeport and Stamford, just across the Sound
Neighboring Connecticut cities like Bridgeport and Stamford sit close enough to be part of daily life for a lot of Stony Brook residents. A second Ghost number keeps contacts on that side separate from your personal one.
The calls people here complain about
Residents in this part of New York report a steady stream of spoofed sales calls and robocalls. Handing out a Ghost number for listings, apps, or new contacts keeps those calls off your main line.

In Stony Brook, you can choose a 631, 516, or 914 area code for your Ghost number. 631 is common in Brentwood on Long Island, 516 is carried by many people in Hempstead, also on Long Island, and 914 is common in Yonkers, up in Westchester County.
Stony Brook runs on Eastern time, along with the rest of New York. All three of these area codes overlay the wider New York City region, so a 631, 516, or 914 number reads as local anywhere from Long Island to the lower Hudson Valley.
Residents across this part of New York report a steady flow of unwanted sales calls and robocalls, many from spoofed numbers made to look local. Keeping a separate Ghost number for online listings, dating profiles, or new contacts helps keep that traffic away from your main line.
