Ratings and reviews

Just wanna give text now stars. for the convenience. 3 months ago I dropped my phone 📱 in water, which resulted in the phone not working. luckily I had a extra old phone and downloaded this app on it, chose a number for my area and just like that I had a phone to talk and text for FREE as long as your around wifi signal and are able to connect to a wifi server. I had no bill, no payments. the only cons I had is the sound quality. and ADS. otherwise I am loving it

App *Barely works, when it used work flawlessly. (Edit.) The app now decides when it wants to work. I will recieve a message and while having the conversation it drops out compleyely. My connection is not the issue, I know this for a fact. Banner ad moves around the text block so every time you chat you accidentally click it.

Update 2025: App works much better for calling, might just be that bandwidth is much better elsewhere . Pretty reluable for text. I have been a customer for over 7years, but now every month when it renews, it shows ads for a day or so. App barely works for calls, as company apparently uses as cheap a bandwidth as it can. Most of the time go through at all, especially if on mobile data. Text only feaute works because u get email of text.

What’s new

Not much to see here this time folks, just cleaning up some bugs to keep things running smoothly for you.
