### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2026-07-11, version 5.34*

I bought this app thinking it did what it says on the tin . First you have to upload your personal information utility bill
And driving licence. Then you have to buy a number along with credits . It’s not as straight forward as you think . I wasted money and contacted customer service , they took a while getting back to me then didn’t offer any help what so ever . DO NOT  WASTE YOUR MONEY on this .

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-07-08, version 5.34*

Download the app paid then it says can’t send Tex as insufficient funds all lies had a feeling it was to good to be true .

### 1/5 — Not free 999 you have to pay upfront

*2026-06-18, version 5.34*

It says free but it’s not it’s 9.99 right up the rip so how is that free?

### 1/5 — Scam!

*2026-05-01, version 5.34*

They stole over $250 from me in recharge claiming each time that my payment could not be validated. This is the worst service ever!

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-12-13, version 5.33*

Charged  me twice for a number I can’t keep. Scam. Scam. Scam.

### 1/5 — Nvm garbage again

*2025-11-19, version 5.33*

I originally have this app 5 stars then I paid for the number and my text stopped send 
Another garbage scam

### 5/5 — Nice

*2025-11-01, version 5.10*

Works very well for my old iPad

### 1/5 — Not free

*2025-10-02, version 5.33*

Just downloaded it and first thing says purchase approved, then tells you to pick a plan after choosing a number. This is a scam and misleading.

### 1/5 — Seems shady

*2025-09-19, version 5.33*

It is pressuring to add my contacts and not all my texts are going through… I’ve only had for 2 minutes n already pressing me to write this review. Cool as it gave me a list of #s to choose from. We will see how it goes. As of now I’d say pushy, and spotty service. Who knows it could get better, but since it made me write this after 2 minutes I’m giving an honest review of my experience thus far.

### 1/5 — No trial or anything

*2025-08-15, version 5.33*

The ads would be okay if there was at least a trial. Don't get it
