Ratings and reviews

Update 8.2024. Charging for SMS by the message? Are you kidding? For UNRELIABLE SMS SERVICE? ABSURD! Update 5.2021- New voicemails take days or longer to show up in the app. Update November 2018: Now app doesn't send or receive SMS. App still doesn't save settings. Have to re set the "cellular assist" everytime the app force closes, which it does frequently. Also, wouldn't need "cellular assist" if the calls were routed efficiently. SMS is a joke. Horribly unreliable. THIS APP IS TRASH

This worked really good for about two weeks the all of a sudden the keypad started freezing up. It would crash everytime I tried to dial a number. I Uninstalled and reinstalled, checked for updates, and no luck. Still freezing an crashing. Really sad to have it end like this. It was extremely helpful with being hands free at the work station.

Was a great app, but i've been having to use it more often due to issues with work phone (related to new ISP) - app doesn't want to load VM's, can't always reliably ring, or able to swipe up to answer calls. App could use a bit of a fix up lately IMO. Oh, and it's stopped completely loading voicemails - the bubble will say that there's 1-2 unread/unlistened, but go to that tab - "you currently have no voicemails". Yes I do. Show them to me!
