Ratings and reviews

The app is fine.. does what it says it will, to an extent. The base plan still uses VoIP numbers, same as the free service from Google, and those couldn't be used for my needs. I was unable to cancel through the app during the trial period so I ended up getting charged for something I can't use. If I get a refund I'll give them a better review, but until them I would recommend using a different service.

Absolutely trash. Do not pay for this service. I've been paying for this app for two months and contacted support numerous times and they still haven't resolved my issue. I cannot receive inbound calls at all, and anytime I make an outbound to a different number it only dials my phone number. There is no phone support, so you have to email them, and they don't even respond.

Functional but the app logs me out daily so no push notifications -- I have to log in (w/ password) and check. I use for contract work so I don't need it every day. If I did, this app wouldn't suffice. Texting works fine. Calls are ok, though there are issues answering incoming calls about half the time and occasionally outgoing calls won't connect. I've contacted customer support and they only advise that you reinstall the app, which I do every few weeks. UI not great, especially for the cost
