It's NEVER free. Very dishonest app. Every click come with payment
even with their free trial, you cannot receive text verifications. DO. NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
false advertisement, not free

not free
you're overcharging I did not want the 599 a week
it is NOT free at all. free 3 day trial then $7.99 a week. what a bunch of BS. liars
it's not free. wants me to pay for a phone number.
junk
Different name, but same app of TextMe. Nothing is free. You have to have your own number to call. Misleading!
Incredibly misleading. It isn't free if you have to pay a subscription fee to send texts and make calls. Google allows false advertisement on their store
Blatantly lying as so many other burner apps do. It's not free whatsoever. The scam here is that after paying for your phone number ($5 fee minimum, which they claim is "free", smdh) you THEN have to ALSO pay an ADDITIONAL FEE for "CREDITS"! I'm tired of you liars and I'll just call all of you out for now on. Stop bullshitting your consumers ffs.
no free phone number
It's takes your money it scamed me of mins
it is a faude
Was working just fine? And then all of a sudden it kept telling me I was missing phone calls but my phone was not ringing But then I turned around and paid for the unlimited access for the phone and for the text messaging.And all that stuff and it still doesn't work this app has way to many bugs we have the dam, it doesn't even ring .It just tells me I miss the phone call this app is bogus
not good
wanted free ringtones
bad
make it very difficult to cancel subscription
absolutely trash you can't even use this app until you sign up for a subscription why would I sign up if I can't even try it out first to see if I even liked it. text now is a way better alternative to this pos money grabbing app
liar
DESERVES "0 STARS" ! SAYS IT'S FREE BUT IT'S NOT FREE !
not a good app you can't call certain local numbers you can't get text unless paid for to many ads and most people don't answer cause they think it is a scam cause u don't get a local number unless you pay for it allllllll a money thing
I mentioned many times regarding my outgoing calls issue through email,but it's not solved yet .The number Just I'm receiving income calls only.Not outgoing calls.
Update 1 year later i still cannot hear Voicemail and still no Option to play Voicemail using Speaker Phone---> Cannot hear any voicemail,it plays but its 100% silent(same exact issue as Textme app) have un-installed/re-installed,cleared cache,etc.. nothing fixes it. Adding a Speaker phone option to voicemail might fix the issue.
Scam, don't bother as they remove your access after a week without premium payments
if I could give this zero stars I would. what a useless app. had a Dr appointment phone call amd waited almost 2 hours before calling the office and saying I was a "no show" ,bcuz I never got any phone call or anything. app is trash. texts barely send or recieve, calls drop or are very choppy and robotic. not worth it being free, youre gonna miss all your important calls and texts. *edit* nothing has changed and now I cannot recieve calls, keep setting up Dr apptmnts and never receiving calls.
wouldn't let me access the free number feature
this app says it's free but it's making me pay for a promo price or something.
you sent email about my refund. no money has been sent back to my account. 😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬
I literally use it for one verification code and it wants to make me pay a premium for one single message not worth it do not download do not waste your time
it's not free as it said it was
this app is a JOKE. dont waste your time.
wrost app wasting of time
misleading name terrible
They charge 4-5× the subscription fee once it expires or if your card payment fails-even after just one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Straight up theives. I've been charged three times for the week. two weeks in a row . the original 7.59 twice and the premium amount of 14.12. no one to call they don't have customer service be careful literally no way to stop this excepy cancel my PayPal and venmo account. what a horrible scam
I wish the credit price was cheaper like 1 riyal or. something
nobe
not good. kept telling me since had wrong password. I know my password.
