Don’t waste your time and energy for downloading and setting things up. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-11-05* If you try to call from free credit it shows error waste of time On ### 1/5 — Deceptive *2025-08-30, version 3.3* Seems like you can buy numbers in other countries but only after you “upgrade level” by buying points can you do this, then when it comes to the documents needed you can only buy numbers from your own country so if your not from South Africa you can’t buy a South African number. Do better blacktel this is pretty much a clever scam app ### 1/5 — Absolut übertrieben *2025-04-09, version 3.3* Hat total übertriebene Preise von 45 EUR pro Monat für eine Telefonnummer. Telefonnummern bekommt man bereits für ein paar EUR bei Blau o.ä. ### 1/5 — 환불 해주세요; *2024-12-11* 500 크레딧 은 무슨 5.00 크레딧이 500 크레딧 입니까? 나참 큰맘 먹고 11,000원 구매했더니 ㅋㅋ ### 1/5 — Poor Application *2024-12-09* Poor Application ### 1/5 — Whatsapp Sim service not work *2024-09-29, version 3.3* in the website from Blacktel say: virtual number for use with WhatsApp but when I try to connect with WA, say: number cannt connect. and Blacktel say: is not a problem with us, is a third service -.- ### 1/5 — Fake app *2024-07-30, version 3.3* Once you pay for the account, they would block you. DO NOT USE THIS. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2024-03-20, version 3.3* They have both private paid virtual numbers you can get as well as a free call/text/fax option that gives you a small amount of credit to use daily. Before purchasing a virtual number in tested their app by using the free services and just constantly get an error message Both trying to using them outgoing from the app and trying to send incoming from my phone to the app. Nothing sends or receives on the text option and when calling the number it says user busy. Calls out just get an error message. ### 1/5 — Spam *2024-02-22* Totally wasting of time i really suggest you dont be install this app ## Frequently asked questions about Blacktel ### What is Blacktel?
