I don't care if you make money from ads, that's the point, nothing is free; but don't make me work for it. It costs .5 credits to send a text and .5 for every incoming messages. If someone spam texts you, you'll be out of luck. Then you'll have to complete surveys for credit. Switch to TextNow! Update: You need more information? I clearly stated the issue. Maybe you need to read it again carefully.

Complete Scam. I installed the app, and paid them $5 for a phone number because I needed a short term connectivity solution. They sent me a message that I would be activated in 5-7 days. I don't need the connection in 5-7 days, I need it now, and would have been done with it by then. So as far as I'm concerned, this app is a complete scam. I normally won't mention competitors in reviews, but I ended up using TextNow. They had me connected instantly, and it's completely free if you don't mind ads

You have to pay for the service, then have to keep paying, or 'earning' credits to actually use the service you already paid for... Used to give 30 free messages a day then got rid of that and loaded it with ads. I've done several items to earn credits, only to never actually get them. There is no customer service, so you're just SOL. Cannot warn you enough to go with another app.

The ads don't work. Sometimes I cannot get a video ad to get credits for DAYS, and most of the offers where you download an app don't work--you hardly ever get the credits you earned even when you download the app and open it with location on. You aren't given any credits for most of the ads you watch, and you are usually deducted credits shortly after receiving them when you do without reading any texts or making any calls. I have spent hours trying to get even one credit to get a hold of someone before giving up. If you only send and receive one text each day, this app is for you. Any more than that and you are screwed. Also, most of the 1 credit offers don't work, and often times you get redirected to a popup for a different offer or to download a different app that than the one you clicked on. This app sucks. I only use it because I have to, not because I want to.

This app is absolutely horrible! It keeps claiming there's a "connection problem" even though it's connected to a reliable wifi network/source. I can't see any new texts. I see them in the partial "preview" window, but when I go into the actual chat box, there's nothing there. This is not at all comforting when I have my children that may text me on this.I've sent an email already, so I hope this problem gets resolved quickly or I'm going to have to uninstall it and look for a better one.

This app is unreliable. When I receive calls and select the answer icon the phone says answering but does not pick up. It cost me numerous phone interviews with potential employers due to this major flaw. Another flaw it has is disconnecting during a phone call that last over an hour even when the connection is good. I don't understand why it does this but it happens occasionally. The last issue I have is the stability of calls. It's crystal at the beginning of the call but degrades after during the duration of the call with a lot of echoing in the background. FYI, I have a 100mb fiber connection. Update 12 Dec 2018. After installing the new update the app receives and makes call like a walkie talkie. It no longer makes regular calls like before. I sent an email to tech support a week ago, still no response.

Even if you are paying for this service the sound quality is bad, connections are dropped constantly and they bombard you with offers and other annoying popups. A new glitch that I noticed is that if you are in the middle of a call on your phone and this app starts to ring you will lose voice communication, meaning that the other person will not be to hear what you are saying. Try something else.

It has reasonable prices and a wide selection of phone numbers. There are lots of ads in the free version, and paying $1/mo hides them but there are still lots of "free credits" notifications. Unfortunately, those notifications are sent in the "new message" notification channel so they can't be hidden or silenced without losing notifications for real messages. If the app had been more respectful of a paying user's time and attention, I'd probably still be using/paying for this app.

Terrible. I wasted the money paying for 2 lines for the year just to have a simple feature like voicemail, so $10 total there. Then I was stupid enough to pay the $1 to remove the ads, thinking they would actually be removed. And were they? NO! Plus, this app doesn't work as described. It is my understanding that it will work on WiFi OR off of your cellular data. I have unlimited high speed data thru my carrier (was only using these 2 lines for business purposes) and no calls unless on wifi!!!

It's a free extra phone number with call and text capabilities. That's pretty awesome in itself and reception seems fine and texts are fine too. It does have A LOT of ads and I understand being free means they need to make money elsewhere but I really dislike the popups that you cant get rid of without closing the app, otherwise I'm fine with ads and understand they need to make money too. Overall, good app.
