### 1/5 — Liars

*2025-11-08, version 8.5*

There is no free number for your iPhone. It just says you can’t sign up in the app then takes you to the website that has no mention of anything that’s free. This is false advertising which I thought was illegal in the USA. I would never buy anything from a company that starts off by lying to me. Seriously, how shady can you be. What a total joke, I’m totally going to find out how to report this to my state government because this is unbelievable.

### 1/5 — Worst phone service provider company

*2025-04-02, version 8.5*

This company calls itself number one company. While in reality, they are more towards the bottom of the barrel.
That’s for the following reasons: 
First they have an app that does not work when it comes to renewing the plan. Number two reason is: every time placing a phone call, be prepared to have your call dropped. 
Reason number three is, you try to call the customer service where most of them are inept, and you don’t get away without wasting a minimum of 45 minutes on the phone even if it is a very simple issue to resolve.

### 1/5 — Horrible company

*2024-09-11, version 8.5*

A nightmare to port out legacy number

### 1/5 — not available

*2024-04-19, version 8.5*

I received the message “service not available in your country” …

### 1/5 — Deleted account stealing numbers

*2023-10-30, version 8.5*

This company is absolutely a scam, they just deleted my account two days ago with NO READONS at all and try to steal all my numbers ported in there. I’d file FCC and WILL take legal actions. Avoid this company at all cause!!!

### 2/5 — Worked well until it didn't

*2023-09-25, version 8.4*

This was absolutely great for years, until my phone number "expired" despite constant use, and I can't pick a new one. New sign-ups seem to be closed, too. Incredibly disappointing.

### 1/5 — Totally rubbish

*2023-08-05, version 8.4*

Why will it say it’s not working in my country this a stupid app full of fake content

### 1/5 — -50 Stars

*2023-06-25, version 8.4*

Never wcojls get a signal and they kept charging me after i cancelled my plan screw this scammer of a company

### 1/5 — New user

*2023-06-04, version 8.4*

I jus downloaded the app and don’t have a login there’s not a “ create account” option

### 1/5 — cant login

*2023-05-11, version 8.4*
