### 1/5 — no Italians :(

*2026-06-06*

I have a +39 phone number

**Developer response:** Sorry about that — we know it's frustrating. As we're an Irish website, we limit phone number signup to Irish and the UK numbers. This helps to prevent fraud and non genuine users signing up.

### 5/5 — Excellent

I have been using it for a year or more and really feel the layout and the interaction between buyer and seller has been well developed. I’m happy about it. Pitty that the majority of ads are based in Dublin though….
