Leave a Review Talkatone
Great app, really just missing text to short numbers, explained below
Works well over WiFi and cellular in the U.S. and over WiFi where I live in Japan. It gives me a U.S. number I can use even though I live overseas. Voice quality is good, even hands-free using the speaker or earbuds. With a subscription, ID verification from short numbers works with most places like banks, card companies, and even the IRS. They have a proper iPad app. The chat and call history is great. For voicemails, they also send transcripts to you by email so you can listen on any device you check email with. I am back as a paid Talkatone Plus subscriber now. I hope that at some point they get messages to short numbers working! Banks and credit cards have a reply option to do things like check on balances. Talkatone is the only VoIP app I’ve tried which can receive ID verifications from short numbers but can’t reply. This is a useful feature for communicating with places like your credit card accounts. I’ll change my review to 5 stars if you add that! But basically I'm pleased with Talkatone on my trip. I'm on a monthly Talkatone Plus plan right now.Show lessIn Situ
Not for Good Texting
I've been using the app for a year but decided to upgrade to Talkatone Plus in order to send and receive texts. Voice is great, but texting has a lot to be desired. After sending 11 texts yesterday in order plan a family trip, my texting ability has been blocked. Support said I should have received an email, about violating Fair Use (I have no idea what this is as I didn't receive an email). Let me emphasize texting was frozen for 11 texts in a family chat that was created by my cousin. Do not pay for this app in order to get texting because there are better apps for this. It is not worth the money. On hour 32 of being locked out of texting, I still do not have access and may be permanently banned...after 11 texts mind you. Find another app. You have been warned.Show lessDoodles67

I have used this app for 8 months. The voice is clear when I made a call. Overall I like it and recommend to everybody.hot_rock
Group messages blocks you and restrict your messages
Got a new number and sent a group message to friends and family of my new number and was instantly cut off from sending messages because Talkatone flagged my group text as going over the daily usage limit. Just for context there were less than 10 friends and family members In the group text so they would know how to contact me. Also, this was the only text I sent. Talkatone instantly blocked me and didn’t allow me to respond back to family and friends who I just sent my new number to.
This makes no sense to be blocked for sending one group chat. If group chat isn’t allowed or not supported then it should be known from the start, or not possible to even do rather than blocking people for simply sending your new number to your friends and family members.
If group chats are supported and this is just an error or bug than it really needs to be fix.Show lessiphoneuser12386

A really great app for making calls back to North America when traveling abroad. Also great for making calls to Canada and to the USA from Canada for free (as long as Google Voice remains free). Easy to setup and instructional guides are easy to follow. Suggest that you print or email to another device. Contact options are not fully integrated with ios Contacts, yet I do like that one can add newly created contacts to groups. For those that have more then one GV account the app remembers which account you called from so in case you use one for business and another for personal you can keep the separate. You can also IM your google contacts even if they are international as long as they have a Google account.Show lessYehLaTa
Not unlimited talk or text
So in the beginning of starting this app it seems like I was able to have the unlimited talk and text. Within a week I started getting censorship on my text messages saying my messages are failing they’re not going through and then I started receiving text messages from within the app saying that I used up all of the data and I’m trying to find out how much dada views and I don’t see anyLimit. But it’s still sending me text messages saying oh within 24 hours we’re gonna cut your text messages off or within 24 hours we can every story meanwhile none of my messages are going through. After that I get some kind of message to says I need to delete all of my messages and delete the entire app and now I have no access to the fail messages that I wanted to resend and for some reason I cannot get the app to restore so I cannot call I cannot text the app will not restore. Hopefully I can get it back up soon and I can resend those filed messages. I am perceiving this is a reliable app even if you wanted to make purchases with an app in the future I do not recommend.Show lessmrsjade26

Please note that Talkatone doesn't offer unlimited Out-of-network sms/mms service & calling. For more about our Fair Use policies, kindly refer to the Talkatone Terms of Use. If you don't want to wait until your account resets, you can bypass the daily text limits by subscribing to Talkatone Plus.Excellent App - Free USA calls from the UK
Works as expected. Purchased no ads merely because I felt as if I owed them something, as it’s free! They give you a free US number that can be changed anytime also.
Calls to US numbers - Free
Calls to other numbers - Use Credits (1p per min)
Worldwide inbound calls - Free
Only modification I’d make to the app is the ability to message whilst using the phone, but no issue!Show lessB.G.WE
Scam + Info breach
This is my first review on apple store ever and it’s as serious as it is disturbing I’m shocked at this company’s malicious intent to use my personal info to harm me and take advantage I received a call on my actual phone number today twice stating my name and that a complaint has been filed against me for a serious crime *which i would never do* The suspicious call is of course from an Indian male telling me to call them back or else… Now the most funny thing is that after threatening me on my personal number, he calls me on Talkatone from the same number LOL. I’m glad i only signed up for the app as a joke and prank to one of my siblings They probably go through hundreds and thousands of personal stuff with bad intentions I will definitely be making a complaint against this app for threatening me with scams from third party fraud organizations and calling me with rubbish on my PERSONAL CELL NUMBER which i used for verification purposes on the app THERE’S ABSOLUTELY NOBODY ELSE WHO WOULD GIVE MY NUMBER TO SCAMMERS OTHER THAN TALKATONE they are the devil themselves looking for extra cash through bad deedsShow lesss a w m
