I purchased a one time number. They charged me for another a week later ### 1/5 — Took my money and gave me a phone number that was already in use *2024-05-25, version 1.4* Gonna try to get a refund on paypal ### 1/5 — ROBBED ME !!! DO NOT USE *2024-03-24, version 1.4* DO NOT USE THIS IT JUST TAKES YOUR MONEY DOES NOT DISTRIBUTE CODE 0/5 STARS IF I COULD !!! ABSOLUTELY NOT AN OPTION GO TO THE NEXT APP!!! ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-03-18, version 1.4* Literally doesent work ### 5/5 — Wow! Amazing Service *2024-03-05, version 1.4* I thought this is not real but it really gave me US phone number to use within like 5 mins or so and then it send me verification code couple seconds after. Great service! ### 5/5 — The app is not helping at all *2024-02-28* It is a waste of time and data ### 1/5 — Lost Money *2024-02-23, version 1.3* Was using the app to verify gmail’s. Too often the number wouldn’t receive the sms code and would crash before the timer ran out. Since you have to wait the full 5 minutes to get a credit, I lost $10. There is no way to contact them so they just steal the money. ### 1/5 — Refund *2024-02-12, version 1.3* I just bought a number. It ain’t working. I got Error 102 We added a credit to use later. We can't process your request at the moment. Please check later. -NqD3_OU2xkViKkp3qYK ### 1/5 — Lost money *2024-01-26* I tried buying a temporary number for Plenty of fishes but then I got this, “ Error 102 We added a credit to use later. We can't process your request at the moment. Please check later” I have no idea where my money went from here. Paid for the one time and 24hours. The one-time number purchase ($1.99) went through but then got the same error message while I input the number on pof to get the one-time code on the SMSVerified app. What can I do about these??? ### 1/5 — Dose not last *2024-01-09* I had to buy a number for one day and used it to verify it worked but once you log into the account needed you get log out immediately because the number is detected and your account is banned for using the number ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bunch of thieves *2026-01-31* Y’all are some bunch of thieves.. Purchased number to verify match and Ourtime site but never got the number to verify but was equally deducted from my wallet.. Not once and not twice but six(6) times.. $1.99 for six(6) time why? 😭😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — Complaint *2026-01-13* You take too much time to give out a number.. very poor service Imagine paying for a number and getting it after an hour ### 1/5 — Does not work, Just takes money *2025-12-29* I paid 1.99 for the app and 2.99 for a Google verification number. Google will not accept the number given. Don't waste your money. App should to be banned from App Store. **Developer response:** Hi! sorry for the frustrating experience. The app itself works as intended, but Google does not always accept verification numbers (a lot of factors can cause this your location, violations..), which is outside our control and depends on Google’s own policies and you should a credit refund automatically when that happens. That said, we never want anyone to feel they wasted money. Please reach out to our support team from within the app or at hello@techook.us and we’ll make this right for you. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2025-08-11, version 1.8* I paid for my number to use for three days, but I never got a code.
