EXTREMELY disappointed with this app, and the fact that I paid for the full version! I used it for work for less than 2 weeks, and here's what happened: Not only was there static and echo on most calls, but 3 times my calls connected to a completely different party than who I was attempting to reach. Scary! Additionally, I was blocked from making calls or texts for 24h, impacting my ability to reach out. I've stopped using this app and am now using Google Voice until I find better.
Reviews for Text Free: Second Call Number
← Back to Text Free: Second Call NumberThis app worked great .. until last week. Suddenly, I couldn't send texts or make calls. I tried everything short of deleting the app. I reached out to customer service, only to get an automatic response. I've contacted cs twice since,with no response at all. As a last attempt to resolve the issue, I uninstalled and reinstalled the application, only to be locked completely, I cannot even sign in anymore.
After you download and familiarize, the app forces you to rate it with 👍🏼👎🏼. After that, it's downhill - App is slow to open and navigate. Way too many ads. Ads interup your texting and slows you down from getting your message done and sent. Calls do not connect, even though it shows that it is. You have to keep calling back the same person before you can hear each other. I guess thats what you get for a "free" service. 🤭
It was good in the beginning ... quick set up, easy to use, and free. After a while, it got difficult. Locking, freezing, and consistent dropped calls. My final straw was picking it up and trying to use it like normal, except that every "new" number I'd select would either be inactive or already snatched up (even though it was made available to choose from). I reached out for real-time support, but I got no help either. I'm shopping around for a different app. I'm no longer using this one.
I've been using this app for years, and ive watched it go downhill over time to the point where I am uninstalling it. It is so crippled by advertising. Banners permanently at the bottom, full screen ads after nearly every text. You can't rely that it will send and recieve texts. It nags you constantly to use it if you've been inactive for like a week, warning you they will deactivate your number..... 30 days. It didn't used to be this way, it used to be simple, reliable, and hassle free.
Bought the subscription. Only received calls. Does not perform outgoing calls. Customer support is of no help. Total waste of $10, but they did say that they would refund money on a few days I would recommend that anyone just keep the free app with ads. Buying the subscription through Google play may disappoint.
I have been using this app for a year now, some months paid, some months not. It was working excellently. However, just previous to an update on my Samsung Galaxy S21, it started crashing and now, it keeps giving me "Registration Errors" when I try to sign in. The most recent was "registration error 4764." There are so many clients that I might lose if I cannot get back in, hence the 2 stars. It was wonderful, until now. Please help!
Constantly messing up. I called to report problems & they said their system reported everything was functioning fine & refused to listen to me. I used them for years trouble free until 1 day my number didn't work anymore. I quit, but decided to try a new number. They are nothing like they use to be, calls drop, static and can't hear at times, system dials a different number than you called, can't hear them or they can't hear you, and constant ads in the way. NOW ADS ARE KNOCKING MY CALLS OFF
*review update* these ads are becoming a major problem. they interrupt answering/placing calls. also, automatically switches to speakerphone randomly in the middle of calls but it won't reflect that it's on speaker to shut it off. this has been a major annoyance. lastly, I do not get calls or alerts. even with a strong wifi connection. I'm about to delete your app and I've had this a long time. 6 calls back to back and it never rang? all phone alerts are on. not good. fix 🙏 please.
They now FORCE you to use the app every 30 days or you lose your number despite having it for over 5 years now. I still have paid minutes on it for emergency use, but they THREATEN me every few days with notifications I'll lose my number. HORRIBLE spam issues... Had the same number for years. Didn't text this month, and they took it away! The ads are just too intrusive, and they pop up over what you're doing, EVERY text. I'm finally done.
Way too many complications with this app. Crashes, won't dial, and anything else you could possibly imagine going wrong! One more tiny little thing. The damn ads, there are so many it's ridiculous! You watch an ad before you watch an ad!! Enough is enough already! About to uninstall and go back to text Now! Less than 1/3 of the ads you guys have. you understand larger ads are frustrating. Well how about you wanting us to pay for verification codes!!!! That's bogus, either it's free or it's not
Great app when looking for new insurance, or when a phone number is required for online information, but you have no intentions of talking to anyone. Texting I have had zero issues with - works perfectly. However, on phone calls, the microphone might work for them to hear me say "hello" when answering the call, but they hear nothing else after that.
My rating -10 It may just be me, but when I get a call I should be able to answer it. it won't let me answer, it won't let me hang up, it just keeps ringing and ringing and ringing and ringing and ringing. all together it rang 32 times and vibrated 8 more Times after ringing finally stopped. I consider this the biggest PISS POOR app I have ever come across. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.
I would give this app negative Stars if I was able. when I really needed to make a call out it has not let me when I have an excellent signal for everything else using wireless. this application is very unreliable and needs to address the problems. sometimes people are relying on this as their only source of communication out and when it's really needed it fails.
I've been using this app for years, I even pay for their premium account. However, for the last 9 months I have been having major issues with people not receiving my texts and pictures. I contacted them twice regarding the issue, and they said the system might block a text if it's inappropriate or offensive. None of my texts are either of those so I don't understand how you can just block my text from being sent. this is very frustrating, and I'm currently looking for a new text app to use.
I downloaded this this app because I was looking for a secondary phone number. every call I made got dropped in 30 seconds. I contacted support and they said it was a bug. I needed a serious second line so I asked them for a refund and they gave it to me. I think this app is definitely best just for text messaging. it definitely works for texts including Short code texts from Google and other companies. I just wouldn't rely on it for phone calls.
I was really impressed with this app and even subscribed, until I attempted to use the web interface and they disabled my account with no warning for a full hour in the middle of a conversation. Apparently the web interface isn't available to new customers, but instead of simply not allowing you to log in on the web if you're ineligible, it locks your entire account for an hour instead with absolutely no warning. WILDLY unprofessional, especially for a paid service.
Works ok with texting, but the calling option is not functional. The calls cuts up and drop constantly, and show "I can't find connection. Try again later" even when full bar signal or connected to the wifi. I thought maybe this was just the free version, so I added the premium paid for membership to see if it worked, but the same issue remains. I submitted 3 support tickets seeking solutions and tried every offered suggestion, and nothing worked. I'll stick with the free version for texting.
App works, but the ads can be very intrusive, to the point they take over the whole screen while you are typing. update, now the ads open a separate browser window while you're typing, taking your focus away while trying to use the app. im about to uninstall the app due to how intrusive the ads have gotten. it was fine when they were just on the screen, but now you can't finish typing a message before it opens a new browser tab.
good for when your in a pinch. it does get quite annoying though when three out of the four calls I make are cutting out, just sounding incoherent, and just terrible. I've worked in networking/data infrastructure for 20 years so I know it doesn't take a lot to run a VoIP service, so I'm genuinely curious just how little they are actually using. if they put a little effort into it, the service could easily go from 2 stars to 5, like with little extra costs. I genuinely hope apps like these thriv
