The startup was founded in 2015 and has raised almost $6 million in seed funding, according to the Wall Street Journal. Since then it has been expanding its operations around the country.

The app lets users pick a new number with any area code they want – you can try it FREE for 7 days, and then just pay $7.99 per month per number.
“Users love the app because they can easily divide their work, dating, and school life. For entrepreneurs with a few different jobs, or real estate agents, the app enables them to divide and manage their work better while protecting their private numbers,” Pixler said.
