You have to buy credit to text someone. There is a lot better apps. So I give a thumb down👎 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buyer beware *2024-08-02, version 1.3.0* The app won’t let me change my number. Customer support is never available. Don’t waste your money! ### 1/5 — Stole my money *2023-01-22, version 1.3.0* I’ve been using this app for some time. I know how it works. Yesterday I tried to add more credits to my account at $.99 for 5 credits. I did this about 5 times. Thinking it just wasn’t going through. I kept getting the successful message then the next one showed up a congratulations you have 0 credits. I contacted support. They tried to explain that I used them when I was at 0. But that’s why I decided to ADD more credits. I knew i was at 0. However The credits never actually generated. So now support will not give me the credits or a refund. They literally stole money from me. ### 1/5 — Just deleted without using because *2022-11-04, version 1.3.0* My ad blocker found this app with 10-50 back door ads, all blocked. Trying to collect info from my phone. If you can manage using a web browser instead of “apps” then I advise you that the less apps you have the better your off. Save important data, cellphone data and battery along the way. ### 1/5 — Private text app *2022-01-06, version 1.3.0* This app is pissing me off, it won’t let me send text after I bought credits, and ur support email is bogus, fix this now.. if u don’t fix now, I will make sure nobody wants this scamming app ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2020-04-30, version 1.3.0* I downloaded this app to use for contacting persons. I was unaware I would have to pay to do so. In completing offers to earn money I have not received any of the credits I need to talk to the persons. Very frustrated. ### 1/5 — VIRUS 🦠 *2020-03-01, version 1.3.0* Do not download this app is a virus and deletes all your contacts and spams you with call I’m warning you🚨🚨 ### 1/5 — This app is garbage *2019-10-01, version 1.3.0* I used a number about three months ago. I had to buy another number to use it again. I bought another number, but when I tried to text, it said that number was expired too. So, I bought two numbers, and neither worked - including the number that was two minutes old. The developer never responded to my email, but had the nerve to send me a note asking to email them referencing this review to get a resolution. Obviously, they aren’t even trying to resolve serious issues, unless you write a review, since they never even responded to my initial complaint. Had they responded to my initial concerns, I probably wouldn’t have wrote a review exposing their scam. ### 1/5 — Vol *2018-08-13, version 1.3.0* Le site vous prend 2-3 crédits des fois pour seulement 1 envoi... c’est du vol ### 1/5 — Just a black screen *2017-06-03, version 1.3.0* Ghosts ### 1/5 — Beware scammers horrible app *2017-01-03, version 1.2.1* Horrible scammers u have to buy the credits if u try a free offer it doesn't work.. beware In order for me to send this is had to give it stars I give it 0 but unfortunately I had no choice but to give it 1 ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This one actually works!! *2017-10-15, version 1.3.0* I’ve tried MANY of these types of alternate phone number apps. While this one doesn’t look as flashy as some of the others, THIS ONE IS THE ONLY ONE I’VE FOUND THAT ACTUALLY WORKS! All I can say is “wow!” and thank you for such a reliable service! ### 5/5 — Does not disappoint *2017-09-23, version 1.3.0* I love this app it's AWESOME! Very convenient when you do not want to text from your real number! ### 5/5 — Works ask promised *2015-12-28, version 1.0.1* I use this for my etsy business. It allows me to keep my personal number personal. ### 3/5 — Change number *2025-10-31, version 1.3.0* It’s ok but I don’t like that in order to use it you have to complete surveys or enroll in things because you get booted out you don’t get credit on some right away or you have to buy something. The other is you can’t buy a new number it has an option for it but then it won’t let you ### 3/5 — Need bug fixes *2018-09-12, version 1.3.0* The app crash when I try to send pictures. ### 3/5 — It works but make sure you use it! *2017-02-01, version 1.2.1* The app definitely works but if you stop using it after two weeks your number is disconnected and you have to pay 10 credits for another one . 10 credits! It's BS. I use this to do business over Craigslist and sometimes it will be over two weeks until I have to use it again and I feel 10 credits to buy another number is unnecessary and a scam. ### 2/5 — Credits *2019-08-24, version 1.3.0* I bought credits but they haven't been applied to my account --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
