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 Willimantic virtual phone number?
Sell locally without hesitation
A local 860 or 959 number tells buyers on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist that you're actually in the area, not messaging from three states away. That builds trust fast when you're arranging a pickup in town.
Dating with a number that fits your zip code
If you're using dating apps in and around Willimantic, a matching area code feels a lot more natural to match with than a random one from across the country.
Moving to or from eastern Connecticut
Relocating into Willimantic or leaving for another town shouldn't mean losing touch with your old contacts. Keep a second line with a local code while you settle in and use it for anything you don't want tied to your main number.
Job hunting with a hometown number
Applying to jobs around Hartford or Bridgeport? A number with an 860, 959, or 203 area code signals you're local, which can matter to a hiring manager scanning applications.
Keep work and life apart
Give clients or side gig customers a Willimantic-area number instead of your personal line, then decide later if you want to answer, forward, or delete it.
