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 Sturgis virtual phone number?
A 269 number that matches Kalamazoo
Sturgis shares the 269 area code with many residents in Kalamazoo, a short drive north. If you commute, shop, or do business there, a 269 number reads as familiar rather than out of town.
One code across two communities
Because 269 is carried by many people in Kalamazoo as well as Sturgis, a Ghost number with this code doesn't flag you as an outsider when you're calling contacts across that stretch of southwest Michigan.
A small city where a second line stands out
With about 11,030 residents, Sturgis is small enough that people notice a new number fast. A separate Ghost number for selling, dating, or side work keeps your main line private in a place where word travels quickly.
Work in Kalamazoo, live in Sturgis
Plenty of Sturgis residents work, study, or run errands in Kalamazoo. A 269 Ghost number keeps you reachable on both ends without carrying two phones.

The 269 area code covers Sturgis and is also carried by many residents in Kalamazoo, linking this corner of southwest Michigan under one dialing code.
Sturgis sits in the Eastern Time zone, and because the wider area runs on a single area code, there's no overlay to keep track of, just one code across the calling area.
Like much of the region, many residents describe unwanted sales calls and robocalls as their most common phone complaint. A second Ghost number lets you hand out one line for public use while keeping your personal number for people you know.
