### 1/5 — Doesn’t Send Texts

*2026-01-28, version 2.2.5*

I have sent out multiple texts, making sure the data was on or I was under a Wi-Fi signal to be able to send and not one of my texts went through to the person. I was sending it to including my own phone number. This app clearly does not work. Do not spend money on it.

### 1/5 — Why does it cost money

*2026-01-25, version 2.2.5*

It should be free and it’s advertised as free make it free

### 1/5 — Can’t receive texts

*2026-01-05, version 2.2.5*

The entire purpose of getting this VOIP phone was to receive texts from my bank with codes. I cannot receive texts though I paid for that service. At this point this phone is only good to call to US phones.

### 1/5 — Don’t get

*2025-12-21, version 2.2.5*

Cannot send texts.   When contacting support get the message that someone will look into it in 3-7 business days.   That is ridiculous

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-11-08, version 2.2.5*

Doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-10-30, version 2.2.5*

This app doesn’t work, I tried making a call with a good internet connection only for my call to not even go through. It automatically ended my attempted call

### 1/5 — SMS never works

*2025-09-20, version 2.2.5*

SMS never works and I wonder why I get charged and customer service never responds to my messages, they don’t offer any help and they just take your money. What is all this ? You should do better

### 1/5 — Worst App ever seen

*2025-09-20, version 2.2.5*

Poor customer service, they never respond, Poor deliverability, recipient never receive your text, this is a total waste of money, I regret getting here.

### 1/5 — Deceptive App

*2025-09-14, version 2.2.5*

Cannot send or receive texts only calls and they are charging you the same price.

### 1/5 — Do not use this app

*2025-09-05, version 2.2.5*

Paid for a subscription and it did not even work. this app is a scam and I would like my money back

### 1/5 — SMS messages never work!

*2025-08-30, version 2.2.5*

Customer service ignores complaints about incoming and outgoing messages not working. They once replied that "the number you selected does not support SMS, change the number to another one." They did not even try to provide me with another number that worked normally and did not respond anymore. I could not find another number from Florida in the list and I had to choose a number from another state! Changing the number costs $ 0.99, but SMS did not work either. After my question, customer service was silent. If you try to send SMS, they withdraw money from the account and do not deliver messages. After complaints, they do not return money. I canceled the subscription and am very upset with this service.

### 1/5 — Text DOESN’t work

*2025-08-22, version 2.2.5*

Don’t buy. They don’t give refunds. And texting doesn’t work

### 1/5 — No customer service

*2025-07-16, version 2.2.5*

The app keeps crashing and there is no customer service to be found. There are several other second number apps. Do not use this one!

### 1/5 — Total Garbage and a Scam

*2025-07-05, version 2.2.5*

This app is an absolute joke. It doesn’t work AT ALL. Texts fail, calls don’t go through, and it steals your money with shady subscription tactics. There’s no real support—just auto-replies and excuses. Then Apple says they won’t refund even though it doesn’t even work.. I want my money back and this trash removed from the App Store. DO NOT DOWNLOAD. It’s a complete scam and waste of time.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

### 1/5 — Very disappointed with this app

*2026-03-10, version 2.2.5*

I am paying $12.99 for this and I Will only be doing this Once because this app is almost useless. I sent a message to my main phone number and did I get that message? Nope. It never sent. What is the point of this app?! I shouldn’t have gave y’all my money. I will soon be requesting a refund. Y’all just want to grab my money, which doesn’t make me trust y’all ever again in my life. Never going back to this app Again. 🤦‍♀️

I have been wondering for a long time, if something like this even existed, then I found this App. This is a huge quality of life issue for me in ways that I can’t even begin to explain.

### 5/5 — awesome with wifi

*2022-04-21*

i didn't have cell service but with wifi keep coming back to this app. cheap. had it for months and no SURPRISE you owe an extra 20$. love it. you can have a contacts list and everything. you get a bunch of calls and texts under 10 bucks a month. better than paying 40+ for cell service. if you have good wifi this is def the app. no adds, no surprises. flat rate for a month and it's not a subscription. it's why i keep downloading it when i'm down bad😂

**Developer response:** Hi, dear user, we are 2nd Number team. Thank you for your support, we will continue to improve the app experience.
