The text messages on both numbers do not work anymore. I tried to reach out to support, and no response. So now I have two numbers paid for until July next year, and I can’t even text. Back to the drawing board, now I have to find ANOTHER phone app, pay upfront, and hopefully find one that keeps working this time. ### 1/5 — Must pay *2023-09-23* You have to pay or you can’t use it. The advertising made it appear to be free but it’s not. ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-06-27* After subscribing for 1year plan the number stop working don’t use this app unless you will regret it ### 1/5 — Not reliable *2023-05-23* App stops working can’t call or texted for week on end poor quality and bad customer service ### 1/5 — Refund *2022-12-12* I never signed up for a 30$ yearly membership for this service I have a service contract with spectrum with 3 phones on the plan if it is in my error I apologize but I’m not going to allow you to keep my 30$ for a service I not only DO NOT NEED but didn’t authorize **Developer response:** Thank you for your review !

I buy a number for a year thinking I can use it for calls and text but just realized I got to buy credit to use it. This is totally scam don’t buy or pay for a number because you will still have to buy credit in other yo use it. Poor services ever I have regrets of using your app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review ! If you have any problems with the app, feel free to contact us.
