Review on letting the app active
It is obvious that among all this visual number system is the best and more especially with the real state number for verification makes it mature. I advice with time you add more security policies to make it stronger. Thank you

Why Use a Temporary Phone Number?
Protect Your Privacy
In today's digital age, your phone number is a gateway to your personal information. Every time you share your real number for online dating, marketplace transactions, or business purposes, you risk exposing yourself to spam calls, unwanted messages, and potential privacy breaches. A temporary phone number from Ghost keeps your real number safe while allowing you to communicate freely.
Avoid Spam and Unwanted Calls
Tired of spam calls and robocalls flooding your personal phone? With Ghost's temporary phone number service, you can give out a second number for signups, promotions, and one-time verifications. If spam becomes an issue, simply delete that number and get a new one—no hassle, no spam following you around.
Separate Work and Personal Life
Running a side business or freelancing? Keep your professional communications separate from your personal life with a dedicated Ghost number. Set business hours, use custom voicemail greetings, and maintain professional boundaries without carrying two phones.
Travel Without Roaming Charges
Traveling abroad? Get a local temporary phone number for your destination and avoid expensive international roaming fees. Stay connected with family, make local calls, and receive important messages without breaking the bank.
Are Ghost Numbers Temporary or Permanent?
Ghost offers flexible phone number options to suit your needs. While we call them "temporary phone numbers," you have complete control over how long you keep them:
Keep It As Long As You Need
Your Ghost number remains active as long as you maintain your subscription. Use it for months or years—it's entirely up to you. Perfect for long-term side businesses or ongoing privacy needs.
Dispose When Ready
Need a truly temporary number for a one-time verification or short-term project? Delete your number anytime and get a fresh one instantly. No questions asked, no penalties—complete flexibility.
