### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-03-08*

They offer nothing other than virtual us and eu numbers. Don’t waist your time.

### 1/5 — Only uk and us numbers ??

*2026-01-12*

Waste of time and money unless you need us or uk and can get those for free these days with Google

### 4/5 — Love this

*2025-10-16, version 3.0.9*

### 1/5 — Fake

*2025-09-02, version 2.9.7*

Not real is not real

### 5/5 — They are so good

*2025-07-29, version 2.9.7*

Too good

### 1/5 — “There’s an App for That” & Now Apple’s “Got an App for This” An App For “Perfection of Uselessness”

*2025-06-11*

Welcome to VirtualSIM.. an app that sells you virtual mobile numbers that do literally nothing!
	•	Can you send SMS? - No!
	•	Can you receive SMS? - No!
	•	Can you make calls? - No!
	•	Can you receive calls? - No!

So what are you buying? A pretty blue app icon and a number that serves no purpose.. a paid logo sitting on your phone as a silent reminder of wasted money..

I purchased not one.. not two.. but three numbers! None of them worked.. I contacted the developer.. no response.. Your money disappears.. and so does support..

Naturally.. trusting Apple’s well-known focus on customer experience.. I requested a refund.. Apple denied it.

I then submitted a detailed appeal.. explaining everything clearly with proof.. but it too was rejected without explanation.

That was not just disappointing.. it was emotionally disheartening.. as a long-time Apple customer I expected better protection.. not indifference.

In frustration..  and to make a point.. I purchased two more numbers from this app.. not because I needed them.. but to show that this was never about money..  this was about trust.. and having faith that the App Store would uphold basic standards.

Sadly..  Apple’s silence made its position clear..  sometimes profits seem to matter more than customer protection.

To be clear.. VirtualSIM as an app is completely non-functional in my experience..  and I strongly advise others to avoid it.

And Apple..  please reconsider how apps like this are handled on your platform.. and how refund requests from loyal customers are evaluated..  because situations like this damage trust far more than any financial loss.

Fellow users - beware! Sometimes “There’s an App for That”..  but sometimes there’s also an app that does nothing..  and no safety net when it does!

### 1/5 — Complete scam.

*2024-12-31*

I spent $10 on this app and none of the virtual phone numbers will work nor will they let me send text messages. Report this app.

### 1/5 — Number not working

*2024-12-30, version 2.9.7*

Number not working

### 1/5 — Garbage app.

*2024-10-02*

It tells you that you have a free phone number to use for a day then it deletes the number as soon as you register proving that the devs are money hungry texts don’t work either it’s only phone calls
