We just need some data connection for use them. So that I use it for most of time. But I didn’t get a good results for use of this app. Even I’m paying money for additional services too. It’s not good as compared to other platforms as we can’t use it same as personal number or as a private account too. ### 2/5 — Annoying calls ALL THE TIME *2026-07-13, version 6.3.0* It is honestly super annoying the amounts of calls I get per day from spammers. And the only way to block them is to pay 100 credits a year!! I think I’m giving it up ### 3/5 — Angel93652 *2026-07-07, version 6.3.0* Can I get on WhatsApp ### 4/5 — Not bad but not good enough *2026-07-06, version 6.3.0* So I’m a 12 yr old going in to 7th grade and I don’t have a phone so I use my iPad for most stuff and I like to call my family and friends sometimes and most of them don’t answer but when I called my dad he told me that the caller ID said potential spam then I called my mom and she said the same thing (after she got really mad and started cussing at me and then she realized that it was me but everything is so far so good except the part where the caller ID says potential spam.) ### 1/5 — Scammers *2026-07-05, version 6.3.0* They removed my number after I bought credits so now I can’t use them unless I pay more for a new number, which doesn’t use credits. So I wasted my money on a useless product ### 1/5 — App works occasionally *2026-06-28, version 6.3.0* When it works, it does what it is supposed to do. But there are too many bugs, sometimes even making it impossible to enter numbers or select from recent calls because the screen is blocked. In general, disappointing expensive experience ### 1/5 — Scammers *2026-06-27, version 6.3.0* They removed my binder after I bought credits so now I can’t use them unless I pay more for a new number, which doesn’t use credits. So I wasted my money on a useless product ### 1/5 — Keypad doesn’t work and can’t report issue *2026-06-24, version 6.3.0* The keypad doesn’t work and I cannot report an issue as I receive a message this device cannot send an email !! ### 1/5 — Misleading Liars *2026-06-14, version 6.3.0* You do NOT get a free number the only thing thats free is app user to app user… stick with whats app on that note. ### 1/5 — Phone number renewal *2026-06-13, version 6.3.0* I paid to renew my number, but I received an auto-reply saying, “We’re sorry that the number is occupied.” My Austrian number expired on June 12, and I had 10 days to reclaim it. This is unacceptable, and I want it resolved. What's going on? Please fix it or refund me so I can take my business elsewhere. There was no way to contact customer service. The same thing happened three months ago, and I had to get a new number. Please fix this now. ### 1/5 — Phone number renewal *2026-06-12, version 6.3.0* I completed a payment to renew my number, but I received an auto-reply saying the number is occupied. My Austrian number expired on June 12, and I had 10 days to reclaim it. That's unacceptable, and I want this resolved. What's going on? Please fix it or refund me so I can take my business elsewhere. You did the same 3 months ago, and I had to purchase another number. I have tried multiple times to contact the support team via the feedback form in the app, but I haven't had any luck. ### 4/5 — Not that bad not that good *2026-06-07, version 6.3.0* I mean you can verify your Apple ID but I don’t recommend you to because you might lose access to your Apple ID and that phone number might be expired so your going to lose access to it for good and the rest I don’t know what to say so 4 stars! ### 1/5 — I can’t receive code with my numbers, I’ve lost so many jobs cause of this *2026-06-05, version 6.3.0* I can’t receive code with my numbers, I’ve lost so many jobs cause of this ### 1/5 — They will steal your money, apparently *2026-06-05, version 6.3.0* It claims 839 is not a valid area code. It is. And it is mine. A request for a refund was denied by Apple even though I could never even log in to the service to make an account. I received an email from their dev team telling me to email their customer service. I did. Two weeks ago. I've heard nothing. Al.ost a month ago I paid for a service I never received without reimbursement. This is the very definition of theft. You're thieves. ### 1/5 — THE MOST MONEY HUNGRY APP ON THE INTERNET. *2026-06-04, version 6.3.0* This app is a perfect example of the problem with today’s humanity. ### 1/5 — Not sticking to agreement *2026-06-04, version 6.3.0* You guys said a text message cost 0.5 credit but in reality it costs like 5 credit per messages. I need explanation, this is too expensive ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Being charged for an expired number *2026-09-02, version 6.3.0* I have a number with Dingtone and expired despite have a subscription, and now I’m being charged for the last six months for a subscription that I don’t have anymore and I tried to get the number back and it says I can’t this is infuriating as anyone trying to message me in America can’t anymore ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-08-22, version 6.3.0* Never sent any text messages. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-08-13, version 6.3.0* It won’t send me the code to log back in. It keeps failing and it’s been 2 days now. I was happy with this app but it dropped my important calls once or twice before too. Please fix bugs ### 1/5 — They will steal your money, apparently *2026-08-13, version 6.3.0* It claims 839 is not a valid area code. It is. And it is mine. A request for a refund was denied by Apple even though I could never even log in to the service to make an account. I contacted them and after several emails back and forth I received a complex "solution" that wasn't worth my time or effort when all I did was make the mistake of doing business with them. You're thieves. No matter how much you keep complaining to have this taken down I will keep reposting. ### 1/5 — Bad Quality and More expensive than original Careers. *2026-08-11, version 6.3.0* Here’s a honest review from a platinum level Dingtone user since 2017. I use the numbers for registrations and verifications to avoid spam calls and the services to communicate with acquaintances. The price increase of phone numbers from $4.99 to $23.99 and text charges from 0.5 credits to 3.5 Credits. The call quality became really bad these days, i barely hear anything even on speaker. Weak signals, poor reception and a hopeless customer care. Awareness!! Do not believe the “0.5 credits per text” rule, that is completely false. it is actually 3.5 credits per text and some regions are 6 credits per text. Take note!! 1 text = 145 characters So sending a paragraph or a long text message could cost you 20 credits or more. Caution!! There’s a built in glitch that sends your messages twice or multiple times, if you mistakenly hit the send ➡️ button twice or multiple times. The action is usually delayed, So it’s technically designed to drain your credits. Warning!!! Do not buy phone numbers with Apple subscription because they charge the equivalent amount in credit yearly and you end up paying twice. ### 1/5 — 流氓软件 *2026-08-10, version 6.3.0* 根本不能用 也不让你注销 ### 1/5 — No logout option *2026-08-03, version 6.3.0* What do you aim to achieve for hiding the logout button, this is just stupid ### 1/5 — No good *2026-07-30, version 6.3.0* It is charging my money heavily without having any calls so I don’t like it. Please I want to know how can I get my money back. ### 1/5 — Unreliable app *2026-07-29, version 6.3.0* This app has to be one of the most unreliable and expensive app.. I paid for subscription and still pay to make calls.. and you can’t even give me a good connection to receive and make calls.. I have been trying to make call for some hours now and it keep saying server unavailable try again later I could not even receive text or send text out that how bad it is.. and they have zero customer care service no number to call only twitter and they don’t even response.. emailed them and no response also.. logout my digntone account and tried to login back but it won’t work or even send code to my email to login.. so frustrating y’all just take people money and offer mid and unreliable service… ### 1/5 — Very bad prodaction *2026-07-22, version 6.3.0* I purchased the monthly subscription of Dingtone for $7.99 to make international calls to China. However, every outgoing call fails with the error "Server busy, please try again later". I have tried restarting the app, switching Wi-Fi, turning off VPN and reinstalling the app multiple times, but none of these fixes work. The paid calling function is completely unusable, so I request a full refund for this subscription fee. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great calling! *2026-07-30, version 6.3.0* I have been hard grinding this app and it’s like my main number now i treat it like a phone number in my iPad! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-07-27, version 6.3.0* Easily allows communication while abroad in several Countries. ### 5/5 — Always reliable *2026-06-09, version 6.3.0* It has never failed me calls are always clear I just wish the voice mail was still part of the free service but still is worth it ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-09, version 6.3.0* Auper good ### 5/5 — 好用 *2026-04-03, version 6.3.0* 成功注册 Claude！ ### 5/5 — Best calling app ever *2026-03-28, version 6.3.0* Guys, I can only recommend you this app , finally a app who is really working , specially if you need to make a free call or send a message , it really works, without paying in advance, I can only say thank you so much to the developer , it helped me when I have to make a free call . ### 5/5 — SAMMERSSS! *2026-02-13, version 6.3.0* Scammerssssssss ### 5/5 — Where is the latest version *2026-01-31, version 6.3.0* Please I need to know about the latest version on how I can download it ### 5/5 — good *2026-01-20, version 6.3.0* good ### 5/5 — Great app and useful service *2026-01-05, version 6.3.0* Amazing service and very helpful support.
