Ratings and reviews

I live out in the sticks where making phone calls is agony, so having a number that can call off of WiFi is very important to me. I just started using this but it already saved me. My fiance lost their phone at work and my data wasn't working at all so I couldn't call it, but with this I was able to get a connection to call them and they were able to find their phone. I don't give 5 stars to apps too often, but this one earned it for this.

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.

This app no longer works for verification codes. I downloaded the app for this reason and while it was supported for a long time, they have now disabled this essential feature behind a paywall. Also, free users will loose access to their number after a few days, forcing you to choose a new number. Only consider this app if you are willing to purchase a premium subscription which costs $2/week.
