  • Potential buts there’s still work

    Your UI is still a bit buggy and needs some cleaning up. For example, when you are selecting countries there is sms and voice and availability is indicated by what’s highlighted and not. Still clicking on a country you are given option for unavailable phone types which result in 404 not found errors for users. A lot of people are gunna he annoyed by that and it’s easy to fix

  • Confusing... but it works

    Phoner does what I need... gives me a local number in the country where I currently reside. But there is a cost for a number, and an additional cost on top for calls and texts. The cost for the number was not clear, and what it included (or did not) was not clear. Calls and texts are packaged into bundles, you have to buy credits, then use the credits to buy bundles. This means you always have unused credits left over. The whole thing is needlessly complex and confusing. Why not just buy credits, and have a credit cost per text or minute?

  • Garbage waste of money

    I downloaded this app because I needed to make a phone call and my cell phone service wasn't sufficient. It comes with 5 minutes of talk time and 5 texts free. I knew 5 minutes wouldn't be enough for my call so I purchased additional credits - $5 worth. What I didn't realize was that those credits didn't readily translate to minutes. You have to manually purchase minutes and the smallest pack is 60 minutes, which costs 3000 credits. The pack I bought was 2700 and the only smaller pack was 100 each for $1.99. So in total it would've cost me $11 for an hour worth of talk time, which I probably didn't need. But I didn't realize any of this. No, I bought my credits and went merrily on to my important phone call, which was dropped after 5 minutes with no way to reconnect because I don't know what number I was using or the extension of the agent I was speaking to. I'm not spending another dime on this ridiculous app. The quality wasn't good either - very echoey.

  • Professional

    Offered legitimate support so that I was able to use the service for free in the promised trial period
  • Got it to open social media account but platforms won’t accept phoner numbers

    I first bought the credits. $1.99. Didn’t work. Bought 1 more eat thinking I didn’t have enough credits for a phone number. Nothing indicated how much a number cost. Gave up and bought a subscription. Got a number. Got failures from social media account sign up. Emailed for help and asked if I could return the $4 in credits I no longer needed since they didn’t seem to work.

    All I got back was a link to a help page. It was helpful in letting me know that phoner would not serve my needs and I just blew $15. Cancelled the subscription as it was useless. This is what the help said:

    “ Some of the major services sometimes verify the phone number against larger mobile carriers and if the number does not belong to them, they may reject it.
    “We have heard cases where numbers from us or pretty much other apps out there that got rejected. The only safe bet is if it comes from the major mobile carrier in the country.”

  • Pretty goood!!

    I liked the app and the number lookup doesn’t work on every number but it did work on a lot and it’s creepy how accurate. I did it to one of my friends when we hung out and it showed his whole family and his grandparents, phone numbers With there first and last name. If that wasn’t enough then it showed the location that was his house. I was like that’s kinda scary😂. But You do have to pay for it. That’s the only reason I wouldn’t give it 5 stars.

  • Hard

    Very hard to know
  • Best

    TYSM for letting me text my mum and dad
  • Customer service lacking

    Little did I know you can only have a certain amount and numbers in your profile. I had to use this as a dummy number because I’m teaching from home because of the COVID-19. When I needed to call additional numbers I wasn’t permitted to. I wasn’t able to delete the unused #’s either or to add new numbers either. Customer service responded once and said to use the drop-down menu. There’s nothing on that menu to help me. And I didn’t respond when I asked again.
