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 Wilmington virtual phone number?
Leland traffic runs both directions
Leland sits just across the Cape Fear River and shares daily commute and shopping traffic with Wilmington. A 910 number looks native on either side, so contacts in Leland won't see an out-of-town number.
Murraysville neighbors expect a local number
Murraysville is close enough that many residents treat it as part of the same community as Wilmington. Showing a 910 number to Murraysville contacts reads as local, not a stranger calling in from elsewhere.
Fayetteville shares your area code
910 also covers Fayetteville, a much larger inland city. If you deal with contacts, buyers, or family across that stretch of North Carolina, a Wilmington number won't stand out as unfamiliar.
910 reads as coastal Carolina, not a stranger
A 910 number ties you to the Wilmington and Cape Fear area specifically. That matters for local buyers on marketplace posts or dates who check the area code before they check anything else.
Debt relief and impersonation calls top local reports
Wilmington residents' most reported unwanted calls to the FTC are debt relief pitches and callers posing as government or businesses, followed by silent calls and warranty pitches. A second number for posting online or meeting new people keeps that traffic off your main line.
