Why dose it keep telling me to download the latest version meanwhile the version i have now is the update one😳
GGodwinatti

It’s okay

It’s nice to text with but the daily limit is annoying and I wish I could call people and see their face. Also sometimes I try to open apps and the call just stops working. Also it keeps saying I’ve reached the limit of outbound or inbound texts. I’m not sure what it means. The voicemails are glitchy too. Overall okay sometimes other times bad.

DO NOT USE THIS APP

Call quality is the worst. If you use other apps during call, it drops incoming voice.
