poor vedio quality
★★★★ David Beaton 5/7/2026
South African here! Stupid me I paid the $9.99 up front. When the call came to activate the app, the last 4 digits did not line up. And the app would not verify. Tried re-installing, no phone call this time. So I am down R165, and unable to make calls. Yay!
