They’ll give you 14 minutes of talk time for $31. I pay less for my real cell phone. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-06-06* It keeps telling you that you need to purchase stuff and then you purchase it and then it says you still can’t send a text message or make a phone call ### 1/5 — DONT DOWNLOAD *2025-02-12* If I can’t text and regular number, why give me a number to use in the first place if I’d have to purchase a new one? F this app!! ### 1/5 — I can’t text with it, can I get my refund? *2024-07-26* Your app isn’t working. ### 1/5 — This number is not working *2023-05-08* Don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Shady and poor app *2023-03-28* To start, you need to purchase or start a 3 day trial to use the app. After signing up for a trial, you still can’t call or text because you need to spend more money on “coins”. Upon further review of the app, I decided to read the reviews and somehow many reviews are written very similarly and despite different messages all have 5 star reviews. Clearly fake. ### 1/5 — Arg *2022-11-08, version 3.2* It’s not free!!!! ### 1/5 — this app is horrible and extorting *2022-07-01, version 2.9* Dont bother with this app it’s ridiculous how much they charge ### 1/5 — A SCAM APP *2022-06-28, version 2.9* I subscribed and there’s nothing true about what they described about the app. This is just to steal peoples money ### 1/5 — Rip off *2020-09-07, version 1.5* I bought credits and it wouldn’t allow me to make a call because I still had to pay for a subscription! USER beware !!!! Do not use this app . ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lucas, Marcus *2023-01-20, version 3.4* Call ### 5/5 — I hate this app *2022-12-08* They don’t give us coins to do anything I hate this app for that ### 5/5 — It’s lovely *2022-11-21, version 3.2* I loved very good ### 5/5 — Me gusta WhatsApp chat messengers *2022-09-16* Reunirme con my Familia ### 5/5 — I love it *2022-08-14, version 3.0* Hey ### 5/5 — Benjamin bentzel *2022-07-14* Hi ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-06-06* Love it Thanks ### 5/5 — E ⭐️ *2022-05-21* This the best app to get free second phone number have ever seen I love it 🥰 ### 5/5 — Hi *2022-01-19, version 2.7* Cool ### 5/5 — ‍Awesome ‎ *2021-05-21, version 2.2* ​‏ I use this app to connect with my textme residents!!
