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 Trenton virtual phone number?
Philadelphia is close enough to matter
Trenton sits about 25 miles from Philadelphia, and plenty of people here work, date, or shop across that line. A 609 number keeps your Trenton identity clear even when the person on the other end is in Pennsylvania.
Camden numbers carry the 856 code
If you grew up or worked around Camden, an 856 number will look familiar to people you already know there. Ghost lets you pick 856 even while you're living in Trenton.
732 and 848 are common down at the Shore
Family and friends near Toms River often carry a 732 or 848 number. If your contacts are used to seeing one of those codes, you can set your Ghost number to match instead of showing up as a stranger.
908 is familiar to Elizabeth contacts
Job leads or dating matches connected to Elizabeth are used to seeing a 908 number. Picking that code for your second line keeps you from looking like an out-of-area caller.
609 is the number Trenton already knows
Neighbors, landlords, and local buyers in Trenton recognize 609 on sight. Using it for a second line still reads as local, even when the number itself is brand new.

In this part of New Jersey, 609 is the area code tied to Trenton itself. Head northeast toward Toms River and 732 or 848 are what people carry; head over to Camden and 856 is common; up toward Elizabeth, 908 shows up more often. Ghost lets you pick any of these five codes for a Trenton-based number.
The whole region runs on Eastern Time, so calls and texts between Trenton, Camden, Toms River, and Elizabeth line up on the same clock. These codes are all overlays serving the same general part of New Jersey, so carrying 856 or 908 doesn't put you outside the state, it just matches a different local pattern.
Unwanted robocalls and scam texts are a common complaint New Jersey residents bring to the FTC, and Trenton is no exception. Keeping a second Ghost number for classifieds, dating apps, or new contacts is one way to keep those calls off your main line.
