Thank for everything

Thank you guys for everything Im grateful

THIS AINT USABLE WITHOUT AN ID!!!

okay so im 14, and Im trying to use this app now to call my friends (I HAD a number now I don’t) and guess what? Everything else is good about this app except I CANT CALL. WITHOUT VERIFIYING WITH AN ID. why?? That’s SO stupid.

It blocked me from using

Downloaded and tried to get an account. Uploaded a picture of driver license and was not verified. I’m not sure what I did wrong.

Costs extra for nonprofits

As the admin for my nonprofit, I thought I would test this app, but get an error message asking me to contact my admin to allow access. Through a bunch of round robins in chats and AI tools, I finally find Google just wants me to pay extra. Just flippin’ say that instead of your admin needs to change setting!! Why does it take so long to root cause the damn problem, vs no problem just direct communication of what is required. And btw, we’ll just test it as individuals for free instead (or maybe use alternatives)

DON’T DO IT

I downloaded this app as a burner number to sell items occasionally on CL. The verification is awful, they wanted me to send pictures of front and back of my ID. Not a chance, it defeats the whole purpose of an alternate burner number to hide your identity from scammers when you sell stuff on CL. NO, NEVER. Uninstalling now.
