Reasonably priced and convenient!
Very easy and I love you get up to 5 phone numbers with the first tiered plan. I have a house maintenance project going on work calls medical appointments and I funnel which one calls me on different numbers so…

Why choose a Vermont virtual phone number?
One area code covers Rutland and Barre
Vermont only has one area code, 802, and it covers cities far apart like Rutland and Barre. A Ghost number with that code reads the same whether you're calling near the Burlington area or way out east.
Burlington's code reaches Winooski and Essex Junction
South Burlington, Winooski, and Essex Junction all carry the same 802 code as Burlington. A Ghost number set to 802 fits right in across the whole Burlington-area cluster.
Montpelier and Bennington share the same code
Vermont's capital, Montpelier, and the southern city of Bennington both use 802, even though they're on opposite ends of the state. One Ghost number, the same code, works for calls to either.
Debt relief pitches top Vermont's spam reports
Recent FTC reports from Vermont residents show debt relief offers as the most common unwanted call. A second Ghost number keeps that kind of traffic off the line you actually use for friends and family.
Silent calls are Vermont's second-biggest complaint
After debt relief pitches, silent or dropped calls are what Vermont residents report most to the FTC. Giving out a Ghost number instead of your real one keeps those calls from piling up on your main phone.

Vermont runs on a single area code, 802. It's paired with Burlington but carried by residents across the state, including South Burlington, Rutland, Essex Junction, Bennington, Winooski, Barre, and the capital, Montpelier.
The whole state sits in the Eastern time zone. Since 802 is the only code assigned to Vermont, there's no overlay system to sort through, every city and town in the state shares that same code.
Residents reporting unwanted calls to the FTC in recent weeks mostly described robocalls or recorded messages. Debt relief offers came up most often, followed by silent or dropped calls, then callers impersonating government agencies, businesses, or family members, and finally medical or prescription pitches.
