WowText gives you a second phone number: a real US number for verification codes and calls, with no SIM card, no contract and no second phone. PLEASE NOTE: WowText receives text messages. It cannot send them, on any plan. WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR • A verification number for sign-ups, logins and two-step codes • A virtual number that keeps your personal number private on marketplaces, classifieds and dating apps • A US number while you travel or live abroad • A separate line for calls on the Calls plan CODES IN SECONDS Your WowText number is a genuine 10-digit US number, so it receives one-time codes from most services that send SMS. Codes are detected automatically, and you copy them with one tap. Customers have received more than 11,000 texts and codes. CALLS The Calls plan lets you make and take calls from your WowText number over WiFi or mobile data, with outgoing minutes to the US and Canada every month. Top up any time. YOURS ALONE Your number is dedicated to your account while your plan is active. It's never shared with another user. PLANS • Standard: receives texts and verification codes • Calls: everything in Standard, plus incoming and outgoing calls Pay monthly. Prices are shown in the app in your currency. GOOD TO KNOW A few services don't accept virtual numbers for verification, including WhatsApp and Telegram. Check yours inside the app before you buy. Outgoing calls reach the US and Canada.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WowText at 4.3 against CrazyPhone's 2.0. WowText also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (4 vs 1). CrazyPhone's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, review sentiment, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WowText sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. CrazyPhone asks for nothing beyond the download.
WowText holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of CrazyPhone's written reviews are positive against 50% of WowText's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CrazyPhone ships an update every 4 months, WowText fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
