Ratings and reviews

Good app to have if you need a second number fast for work purposes or personal reasons. However, there are caveats to it. 1) You get ads popping up after almost every call. 2) Certain features are only given once subscribed to 'lock in' for $1.99 Per Week. 3) If your job requires lots of calls, you will temporarily have your number dropped/suspended while free. 4) Latest bug includes freezing mid-call and won't hang up until you uninstall-reinstall the app.

I just received a verification code last night, 2/9. Tried to receive a code for a different account today, 2/10, and now receiving a verification code is a premium $1.99/week feature. No warning, just suddenly need to pay to receive verification codes. Utter BS. I'll pay for a single week, just so I can change all my accounts linked to it, then I will most likely delete the app.

Crapp app--- don't waste your time. The app keeps changing and all the changes make the app less user friendly. especially the "press and hold" feature to block spam and protect your account. That's 100% false! it doesn't do anything except frustrate and prevent you from having an account. just skip this app...it's bad.... really bad... text free is better app for now
