Worst app ever!!! Scam!! Do not buy!!! Said 3 day trial 4.99 a month but when I clicked trial I was charged 16.00 then it logged me out and I can't get back in!!Scam!!

Incomplete

Can’t send links or videos from camera roll

Port Nightmare

If you are from the US trying to port your US number to a VOIP, avoid this app and go with Google Voice. The process of porting your number is inconsistent and their support team are unprofessional amateurs who are probably running this thing from their parents garage. Do not waste your time with this app, look elsewhere where.

Scammy approach

1. On their website they are offering much cheaper price, but while you are purchasing number, they just offer you unlimited plan which is $10/month.
2. There is no option to downgrade, it is fixed and setting on auto renew
3. You can’t receive international call or text and you can’t make any international calls

Urgent help Calls Not Working – Extremely Frustrating

I’ve had a really frustrating experience with Hushed. I purchased a US number specifically to make calls to American clients, but every time I try calling, the phone either rings briefly or immediately plays an automated message saying, “Your call cannot be completed” or “The destination number cannot be reached.”

I’ve tried calling multiple US numbers, checking the country code (+1), troubleshooting the app and attempting different solutions, but nothing seems to fix the issue.

The whole purpose of purchasing this service was to make reliable international business calls, yet I can’t even complete a basic phone call. This has wasted my time and disrupted my work, especially when I need to contact clients.

It’s extremely disappointing to pay for a service that doesn’t perform its most basic function. I wouldn’t recommend Hushed for business calling unless these issues are resolved.

Love it!

Had it for a few days now works great maybe just texting wise it takes a few seconds to download mms

Mostly good

It does what it's supposed to, which is let you send and receive texts. However, notifications stopped working so I don't know if I've received a new txt unless I open it up. Also, some images disappear and just show a spinning icon. Videos also don't send full size. Wish they would take care of these basic issues and then it'd be much more useful.

Great App

When you don’t want to use your actual phone number on some website which will sell it to telemarketers

Missing texts

I often hear that my messages are not responded to. Because I never received them….. our brand diagnostic tax as well as deleted my app and reloaded still problematic. Takes a long time to get support.

Experiencing bad

Have been using this for years and now it keeps saying , hushed is not available in my country , what’s wrong ?? Why is it not available in Ghana anymore ??

Reliable with great support team

I have been using this App for years now and it has been great.
Once I was not able to access my account and Steph from support was wonderful and patient with me. She responded to my emails immediately and solved the problem. I thank her for that!!

Didn’t work

Made one call and it dropped it in the middle of conversation at critical moment.

Ripoff - apple denied refund

Have not been able to send messages or make calls. Tried cancelling subscription and starting over with a newly purchased subscription, but it still won’t work. Did this multiple times to no success. I want my money back. You’ve been warned. Avoid this app

18 September 2026

Returned from Uruguay and was not able to access Hushed. Sent text to their support team and they were able to quickly resolve the issue within hours. Good customer support. And also a very cost effective service.

Pire application de numéro

Cette application est horrible, service client ne répond pas, les messages ne s’envoient même pas et les appels non plus: on paye pour rien du tout. Ajoutez ça des bloquages sans prévenir du jour au lendemain avec impossibilité de se connecter rapidement … je déconseille vivement et cette application ne devrait même pas avoir le droit d’être publié car c’est un danger pour les utilisateurs

Response from developer

Bonjour ! Je suis vraiment désolé pour ce désagrément. Pourriez-vous m'envoyer un petit mot (mike@hushed.com) afin que je puisse examiner personnellement votre compte et, je l'espère, régler le problème ? --Mike

Not Free

If your willing to pay for the sim. It might be great. If its for temporary use then no.

No good!

It just goes straight to voicemail and no one would help. It lost me work.

Can’t recover important messages

Cant login to my account and customer service sucks badly.

Unreliable service

I used this app for over a year and had a lot of issues. Customer support was responsive but things kept going wrong. The last straw was when it blocked me from making calls labeling me as a spammer because I was calling different mechanics to get car repair estimates. The customer support actually told me I should find another phone app to use. Ok, done!
