### 1/5 — bug

*2022-05-14, version 1.9.02*

ios15bug太多，什么时候升级？来电没有显示啊！！！！！

### 1/5 — Your Sim Number is Used without your consent

*2022-04-09, version 1.9.02*

I used GlocalMe Call for two years now. The sim stays in it is the one I never used to signup WeChat. When I tried to signup wechat, it said that your number is already linked to some account which I didn’t know as I never created wechat on that number which stays in GlocalMe. It proved that your sim is being used by GlocalMe to allow people to create accounts online and you have zero knowledge of that. I don’t know why Apple doesn’t Ban this app.

### 1/5 — Need updates

*2022-02-15, version 1.9.02*

### 1/5 — Can not login my account

*2020-05-20, version 1.8.3*

I don’t know why I can’t login my account. The message had shown that had been sent me the code but i haven’t received it at all.

### 1/5 — 超级延迟

*2019-12-18, version 1.8.01*

更新版本，基本只是为了续期。。。要18秒后对方才听到响铃。

### 1/5 — No callkit and bad signal all the time

*2018-11-28, version 1.0.09_org*

No callkit so you always miss coming calls!even in us market. Not Support foreign or mvno Sim so only three main Chinese Telecom supported! I left my China Mobile Sim Card in this Device and found the signal is much weeker than in my iphone or other device like luomanbao. It frequently get dropped out of line even it is a LTE Card. Finally i had to put it back in old phone.

### 1/5 — Device failed to work after a few year without any sign

*2025-01-26, version 1.9.12*

Device does not work without any sign. 2 inserted cards show no signal.

### 1/5 — Big scam Don’t working with 3G & 4g SIM card

*2024-09-10, version 1.9.09*

The box very bad quality doesn’t work with 3g and 4g SIM cards and we can’t upgrade the system big scam.

### 1/5 — Scam, just avoid!!!

*2024-02-06, version 1.9.09*

Paid for homeSimBox ~200$ and after to use you need to pay monthly subscription!!! 
Waste of money!!! Simore.ch are very good alternative

### 1/5 — Irresponsible

*2023-10-20, version 1.9.09*

Nothing works after updating to the new revision. Service center didn’t do anything and are not helpful at all.

### 1/5 — No FREE PLAN

*2023-06-08, version 1.9.07*

The app is great, it works perfectly as the sim box. But it’s impossible to pay for a minimum of calls. I think that you, as GlocalMe, should restore a free plan for a maximum of a few calls per months, because in your website is not written about this. Please, it can be used more with a free limited plan per month. Make a small update. Thanks

### 1/5 — 改成收費後品質更糟

*2023-02-17, version 1.9.07*

不但收費超貴，訊號還更糟，常收不到訊息跟來電

### 1/5 — Scammy product

*2022-10-10, version 1.9.07*

I spent over 800HKD to purchase the simbox, in order to get what the physical box could offer, and after 1/7 they charge me a subscription for this, totally scam, I will look for alternative and give up all my voice call 

Wouldn’t use simbox at the first place if they hv an subscription fee, there are loads of simpler options out there!

### 1/5 — 收费问题

*2022-07-28, version 1.9.07*

暂不说出尔反尔，当时承诺内地用户不收费的问题。
咱们谈谈收费策略。
2个收费策略，一个应该是限时长不限流量次数，另外一个策略是限流量次数不限时长。这样大家可以根据自己的喜好进行选择。
比如，
1.时长包59元每个月，不限拨打时长和次数。2.流量包限制拨打时长100分钟，无有效期，打完需续费。
但是看看你们的定价策略，不知道是智商有问题还是脑子🧠不好用。

### 1/5 — Do not buy, they have a subscription

*2022-07-11, version 1.9.07*

It used to work like a charm but now they have introduced a subscription model where you have to pay £10 for 100 minutes making two of my sim boxes utter useless. It’s cheaper to pay for Skype with call forwarding. Avoid these cowboys!

### 1/5 — 这就是一家骗子公司

*2022-07-06, version 1.9.07*

中国版本的免费，国外App商店的10美元一个月。 买硬件的时候承诺免费才卖的。 破东西可以扔掉了。

### 5/5 — The best for expats

*2023-10-07, version 1.9.09*

The device is expensive but remember that is like having perpetual license for unlimited text send/receive so don't wait just get it and you will save yourself a lot of hassle.

### 5/5 — Great Device and App

*2021-09-19, version 1.9.02*

Works perfect 💯

### 5/5 — A very good software.

*2018-11-19, version 1.0.09_org*

With this product, I can use up to five sim card ,It feels much more convenient.

### 4/5 — Need updates good app good idea but need update glocalme firmware update

*2024-09-21, version 1.9.09*

Need updates good app good idea but need update for app and need glocalme box firmware update

### 4/5 — 海外版本的主要好处是支持callkit

*2018-12-07, version 1.0.09_org*

大陆版本的软件不支持callkit，海外区应用商店下载的版本则支持，实名表扬。但版本更新跟不上啊，里面的好多bug在大陆区版本都修复了的，海外版则无动于衷。

### 3/5 — 强烈要求更新

*2021-12-13, version 1.9.02*

bug在iOS15尤为严重

### 3/5 — So much potential, but fails!

*2021-09-04, version 1.9.02*

Developer,

Why can’t I share a SIM a with multiple people in my family? Why can only one person use a sim? I don’t understand why you would limit your device like this.

### 3/5 — Bluetooth Issue

*2018-12-28, version 1.1.00_org*

With 1.1.00_org i have problem with BT Handset

### 2/5 — Really! So I have to pay every month?

*2024-04-30, version 1.9.09*

There are way cheaper options out there that are way cheaper. Vyke will get you a sim for £15 a year. You can receive calls, divert calls to Vyke for travel to overseas to avoid roaming charges. All these for £15 a year. So why should I pay a monthly subscription for mobile sim you can’t really use as a main line. Nothing can replace your main line. 
I will advise you guys rethink your options.

### 2/5 — Very little update many bugs

*2022-06-21, version 1.9.07*

The app needs to be fixed and updated
1- problem with call list shows from top to bottom making new calls at the bottom 
2- do not disturb do not work with the app
3- even built in do not disturb function in app don't  work
4 missed calls start to count increasingly like number(34) missed calls
