Didn’t work

Paid for a number to sign up for a dating app - the number wasn’t accepted. Used a competitor product and it worked fine.

Information needed

They started to ask for more information every time you want to use a new number

No longer for me then …

It’s working but other things missing.

I can send and receive text messages perfectly, but calls can be charged from my mean credit not from the app credit. for the media side, I can’t see any pictures that will be send to me, but people rather see pictures that I send them.
Can I get any help for that.

I can’t see pictures that will be send to me!
But other can see the pictures I send that.
I need help because I want to be on it.

Be careful! May assign numbers used for scams

I tried to use the number to register for online banking. The bank said that the number was still connected to an another person.

Same result with other providers.

I contacted the OnOff assistance less then 1 hour from the purchase open to keep paying for the service, just asking a new number.

They replied to a different question.

I asked again. This time they replied my question ... over 4 hours after the purchase. Just in time to make impossible for me to ask for a refund.

According to OnOff customer service, I should have contacted all banks and providers proving that the number was now mine.

Result: subscription deleted. They lost a customer who was considering to get also their business service for all my employees.

Using an app with such customer care is simply too risky.

Scam - do not use!!!

I purchased this app to get a French phone number while travelling in France. It says “unlimited calling to and from french numbers including cell phones”.
One month later, I received a $400 bill for “international calling” and it turns out I was being charged by my regular carrier every time I was placing AND receiving calls! Even though I was using wifi to call, it still got traced back to my cell and charged as voice calls!
I was fooled by a message displaying every time I made a call “we just need to call a technical number to place your call. No charge will apply”... Well turns out these technical calls were in fact long distance!

Hello, Your Onoff number being directly linked to the SIM card installed on the cell phone used, your calls are deducted from your package under the same conditions as the native number. If you have an unlimited call plan, then your calls from your Onoff number will also be unlimited. If the operator bills the calls to or from abroad, it will be the same for Onoff communications. (It is also important to know that during your calls, Onoff goes through a gateway number, of the same nationality as your native number. National messages are free, no matter where you are. The same applies to calls received by WIFI if you activate the option "answer via WIFI/Data network". A credit system has been set up for international calls and SMS at competitive rates. You can perform a cost simulation directly from the application. We wish you a good use and do not hesitate to share your impressions with us! Have a nice day, Onoff Team

Impossible de voir des messages

Par moment impossible de voir les messages. Cela indique qu’il y en a un nouveau mais il est invisible. Vraiment frustrant notamment lorsqu’il s’agit d’un code pour accéder à sa banque. Cher et nul, je vais canceller après 2 ans de galère

Thanks for your amazing comment ! 😄 Have a good day, the Onoff team.

Not very secure

I don’t know why the cell phone prompts me to use either mobile call or Onoff when accessing my contacts list. I did not share my list with Onoff(they have respected that choice), but some how my cell still ask if I would like to use Onoff to call out from their end, and it will then, push the call through to the app.: this is not very secure because anyone using my phone can access the Onoff app using my contacts list by placing a call through the cell phone contact list.
I can also leave my house from my back bathroom window: it works, but it is not practical. Nor is the advice you gave my regarding the issues at hand. Have a good day.

Hello, like many communication apps, Onoff lets you use its features directly from your phone's native interface. You can disconnect or deactivate your Onoff number at any time to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Have a good day, The Onoff team
