Nothing but lagging and glitches
Let's start with the notifications, once you get them it disturbs EVERYTHING you're doing on your phone (apps slow, music stops etc) then when you open it you have to wait 1-3 minutes before ALL of your messages show up then IF they do it's not even the one that you were notified for! Half the time the messages split into two different conversations only displaying one side of it LITERALLY it's either yours or the person you're talking to! If you open the message sometimes you only see the current message sent and if you dare start replying the app will freeze and you will have to go back and start all over again when they allow you to see the full conversation! Ok let's say it's a good day you're on WIfi and it's a nice sent and received day why is it that when you type of message IT HAS A 10 SECOND DELAY on your words! FIX ITShow lessBootyassmonkey
Extremely poor customer service
The concept is wonderful. The ability to enable incarcerated loved ones to maintain family contact is extraordinarily positive. The consultants can be incredibly rude and even vindictive if they don’t like you. I have had the most absurd problems trying to reload credit onto my account, despite having had the same number for over 7months! I have been wondering if global tel link prefer to employ extremely rude, inconsiderate and poorly trained employees as opposed to providing a good service to people who are prepared to spend considerable sums of money reloading phone credit! Get it together GTL and sack poor workers! It won’t bother me to go back to letter writing if your employees continue to provide such a poor service!Show lessLakridza
Suggestion
Dear Talkatone Dev team.
I love your app. You’ve been my top choice for 2nd line voice over WiFi/ IP/ LTE/ and 5G in the future for a long time.
I’ve been using your service since the early google voice days. You guys have made so many improvements over the years and I’m sure myself and other long term users appreciate the hard work you do.
I have some suggestions that I’m sure a lot of users would appreciate.
I sincerely hope this doesn’t come off as negative feedback but if you could guys please update your UI to be slightly cleaner, add the function to send video as you do messages. Honestly, it would be a game-changing upgrade for the service.
Talkatone would be headed toward being on par with apps like WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, and the likes. I could easily see apple putting you as a staff favorite for the upgraded functionality.

I think this would increase the number of users which would ultimately aid in your advertising revenue.Show lessMekha
Four and a half stars!!
UPDATE: I’ve been using this app for years.. same phone number, no issues. Recently I found need for another 2nd phone number (hehe) and after trying out all the others and checking the subscription pricing.. I realize Talkatone is the best value too! I got lucky with my first number as I got in at the beginning when they offered one time fees!
I rounded up rather than down because people should know how wonderful this app is and how much it's simplified my carrier switches. With Talkatone I have been able to keep a set number where I can be reached. I can text and call and my credits usage seems to be nonexistent. I tried many many other apps and when I found this one I knew I had found a keeper. I spent the $10 (one time fee) to go ad free and it feels like a normal part of my phone. The only complaints I can find is the poor ring tone selection and that I wish voice calls were a bit louder.. All in all, it's exactly what I needed! Have recommended this app to many!Show lessKaleidoscope56
Login bug and unhelpful support
App was great when was working. Due to a bug it has log me out and doesn’t let me login. I have tried everything suggested by support team and still not working. Support customer service is extremely bad. Every time an email is sent they respond with a pre-written message asking to follow a number of steps. They kept sending the same email every single time regardless what you send. In essence if you need help don’t bother contacting them, as you will only waste your time...Show lesssocceric

Does the job
Talkatone is a great option for a second line. I've used the free version for about a year and have gone through a couple of phone numbers without any issues. I've been able to talk (within USA), text and send pictures with no issues and all for free. I only use talkatone for selling stuff online and other occasional social events. As long, as the former owner of the phone number didn't post that number online or they owe money to creditors, the talkatone number doesn't get bot or phishing calls. That can happen with any number. I'm just having a little trouble finding the voicemail messages. I forgot where to retrieve the voicemails. Keep up the good work.
Update: voice mail appeared again after reinitiated the app. I didn't reinstall but I enabled background refresh and it did the job.Show lesszlilbit

Free candy, yeah, nothing comes for free. I was impressed at first. My own private phone number, texting, yada yada. And just when people I’m close to get used to my private number an add pops up from the developer saying I must agree to their policies of information sharing before I can use the app again. So I go and read the policy. Are you F@$#ing kidding me? This policy is worse than those I see on windows apps disclaimers. It boils down to, we demand the right to assume your identity. And if you say, “yeah, whatever” then they get total access to your texts, photos, phone calls, messages, videos, and everything else on your device. And they will sell that to whoever’s walking by with a buck. Or hand it over to the authorities should there be something on your device they find suspicious. “Dude, that party last night was bomb”. Clearly a terrorist, arrest him. Nice try Mr. Trumphole. I bet he was like, you must call it “trumpatone”! Anyway. I can’t use it anymore because I don’t like my info being out there like that. You decide but please read that policy first.Show lessmoukeefe
Work well at first
I really hate leaving bad reviews on things because not everyone has the same experience and sometimes people are just too over dramatic but this app is really really bad. It worked well for me for a while so if you just need it for short term, like traveling out of country or something, this app is fine. But the app really started getting glitchy and slow as time went on. Sometimes my texts won’t send and most times I don’t receive an notification for a text unless I have the app open. Also, let me call any one from the actual dial pad until the app has been open for an hour or so. Plus, when I get a get the notification for an incoming call on the app while I’m in another app or my phone is off it either comes through a few seconds before the call ends or when I answer the call it doesn’t work. This is my experience with this app. I just wanted to share.Show lessEmma Joelle
