Why choose a 380 virtual phone number?
380 sits right next to 614
380 was added as an overlay on top of 614, the older code covering the Columbus area. A 380 number shows up on caller ID next to 614 numbers people already recognize as local.
740 marks the towns outside the city
740 covers the counties around Columbus rather than the city itself. Carrying a 380 number instead signals you're calling from inside the Columbus area, not the surrounding region.
220 is the newer code, just like 380
220 was layered onto 614 the same way 380 was. That means people in the Columbus area now see four different codes, 380, 614, 740, and 220, and treat all of them as part of the same local calling area.
One region, four codes to choose from
Because Columbus, OH is served by 380, 614, 740, and 220 all at once, picking 380 for a second number still reads as a normal local number to anyone already used to seeing the other three.

The 380 area code covers Columbus, OH and shares the same region as 614, 740, and 220. 614 is the original code for the city itself, 740 is used in the surrounding towns and counties, and 220 and 380 were both added later as overlay codes on the same numbering area.
Columbus and the surrounding area run on America/New_York time. Because 380, 614, 740, and 220 are overlaid on the same region rather than split by geography, a call or text between any of these codes is treated as coming from inside the same local area.
Like most of Ohio, people around Columbus deal with a steady stream of spam calls and unfamiliar numbers on caller ID. Keeping a separate number for strangers, listings, or new contacts is one way to keep that noise off the line you give to people you actually know.
