📣 BIG NEWS FROM VANISHED CONNECT

We are now toll-free.

1-844-404-FIND
(1-844-404-3463)

This is a big step forward for Vanished Connect.

A toll-free number is easier to remember, easier to share, and easier to use from anywhere without long-distance charges. That means better access for people, families, shelters, outreach workers, recovery supports, housing providers, and community partners across BC.

Vanished Connect was built for one thing: keeping communication from disappearing when everything else does.

When phones get lost, stolen, broken, sold, disconnected, or changed, communication often disappears with them. Vanished Connect helps create continuity through one number, one extension, and one connection that can stay with the person.

Why this matters:
- Easier to remember
- Toll-free access
- Better for province-wide sharing
- Stronger continuity for vulnerable people
- Simpler for frontline teams, families, and service providers

The phone may be temporary. The connection can last.
