No calling why?!

Got debited but didnt get a number
I bought a number and was debited $4.99 and was not given a number that’s not good
Credit purchase
I have been trying to buy credits for the past 24 hours now. My iTunes was debited and now I have no credit and your customer support system is extremely terrible. I can’t chat on X because I am not a premium user. Facebook is a dead end. No email support
NO SIRVE
Si pudiera darle 0 ⭐️ lo haría.
Not free
Used this app for over a year no problem. I have over $50 in credits I can’t use because now a pop up for a subscription constantly is blocking my use.
辣鸡
使用体验辣鸡，不给退全款
IT SUCKS
It won’t delete of my phone
Not free
This is BS. Yet another app claiming to be free, but the first text I receive I can’t read because I get a pop up saying to lock my number which means BUY PREMIUM. *uninstalled*
Beware, fraud!
Total fraud!
Terrible
Whatever phone number I use to dial it directs me to the same automated system saying we are directing ur call and than they hang up
Junk now…
Used to be a good app until all
these new bugs where the dial pad locks up.
Now they limit calls unless you register with a government ID

别努力了被墙了翻墙也用不了
一年前能用，现在又登录注册都不行了这个国内已经用不了了
Text not working
They give me whatever called “30 credit points “ but didn’t even send a text message! , then I paid purchased about $5.50 = 200 points nevertheless I am still not able to receive a single text message, no phone support! And I sent support email they gets back after 2 days asking me more information about the number I am trying to text…. Now after 2 more days,[ I have received email saying ‘ we sent your request for special assistance] for sure my $5.50 worth of points has gone.
This is the most ridiculous app ever.

No response
At first it worked well .. now it doesn’t no response whatsoever no matter how many inquiries you send .. they charge you and the app doesn’t work call failed all the time error code 420 . My next step is to file a state complaint because the least they can do is respond and fix the problem
Lies. False advertising.
They advertise free 2nd number and then force you to sign up for a weekly subscription as soon as you try to get one. Weak.
Not allowed by Zelle
That was my primary interest in the app
Mal servicio
E pagado mi suscripción y no e podido usar la app, me saca de la app, no repica, no me permite discar los números.. una serie de problemas a un pago realizado sin poder dar uso
It’s horrible
I was looking for an app that I can talk to my friends on in our GC I downloaded this and what do ya know I CANT JOINED THE GC my friends sent me invites and they just DONT EXIST
It cannot be used normally
Rubbish ，don't be fooled
Doesn't work
Numbers won't dial. App locks up a lot.
Bait and switch model
Good rates initially. Then $5/week and $10/week plans. Have used it off and on for international calls but now it is Pain in the . Do not recommend this app. Waste of time and initial deposit.
Fed up and annoyed
I have sent emails multiple times about the same issue that I am having and have been having for months only to be told oh we can’t help you unless you contact us directly through the app well every time I try to contact you through the app I get the same damn error message so now I guess the issue will never be resolved and the creators of this app can just sit back and laugh while users get frustrated because they can’t get problems resolved in order to be able to use the app correctly.
App doesn’t change your phone number
Whole point is that your number doesn’t show up when you call someone. But they make you link your phone number and the calls come up as you anyway.
Keep errors
I’ve been using Dingtone for more than two years. Have you recently noticed it has a lot of issues? One issue is that it keeps disconnecting or connecting to someone else’s number. Another problem is that when I try to press the numbers, it doesn’t work. I have to delete the app, update it, or reinstall it. When I talk with someone on the phone, it keeps disconnecting. I paid for this app, and I don’t know if all these errors need to be fixed. Otherwise, we’re just wasting time and money.
太多Bug，难用
难用！
fake reviews do not use
i didn’t get to use this app much i was kicked off for “spam” for calling my friends after spending $100 in credits i had to go through my bank to get the money back i do not recommend at all
I can’t find the international calling rates
I tried a call to a US number for about 2 minutes. I found it cost me 20+ credits.
Worst app ever
This is the worst app i have on my phone app is outdated and slow I can’t even make calls
一到拔号面板就不能用，按任意数字都没反应

我操叮咚公司，充了叮咚幣夠买了號碼，現在又不見，绑定自己手機，現在什麼都找不到才一個星期不到
差
Is it true
Before downloading this app I went on google and it said it whatsapp supported and now me checking there now I got the number and paid for it I even paid for a year now whatsapp is saying the number is not a verified number
Unreliable service
For the past few days I’ve tried to call my Dingtone phone from multiple numbers to see if my voicemail greeting is set up. The rings sound very distorted and choppy and then the call is dropped without being able to answer, nor does it go to voicemail. I also get no alert on my phone that a call was even attempted. How can I use this for business if the calls don’t go through?
Hi
MXKZ3FHD40 this my order number and I have paid . Please I haven’t received the number yet but I was debited . Help me restore this purchase
UNINSTALL THIS APP IMMEDIATELY
This app is giving customers a virus do NOT download this fraudulent app
Weird app
Don’t use it’s use less
Dingtone
Keeps telling me & recognizing my cell phone number as a landline number and keeps telling me it can’t use a landline when it ain’t a landline it’s my cell phone
Era la mejor, ya no
Uso dingtone desde hace muchos años, al principio todo fue de maravilla hasta que en los últimos 2 o 3 años empezaron los problemas. No recibía textos, mi número ya no aparece en la app y no es posible bloquear llamadas. Recibo decenas de llamadas diarias de marketing, toda una pesadilla. He escrito a soporte pero ni contestan.
Thieves
They made me pay for credit and number thereafter asking me verification they are scammers using this app to steal for innocent unknowing people
Terrible app
I am writing this review to warn others about a severe issue with fraudulent charges. This app charged my iTunes account for a phone number that was never delivered. The transaction showed an "error," yet the full amount was immediately deducted from my payment method.
Furthermore, any credit you purchase within the app seems to be at high risk. I experienced my credit balance being drained overnight without any usage on my part. The service is unreliable, but their billing system is far too effective at taking money.
This is a serious pattern of behavior that warrants investigation by the Apple team. I feel completely scammed and would never recommend this app to anyone.

Issue with my dingtone
This is my first time of using Dingtone with a good recommendation from a friend, but I got disappointed with the app, because I the number I bought from dingtone, my friends are not seeing my text while I’m not receiving their messages as well
Poor Volume
It’s difficult hearing your callers voice even on speaker. Volume is pretty poor,Fix this bug
Not received sms as advertise
I don't receive any sms activation from Telegram App.
Not working
I paid for a subscription, however it isn’t working. It’s telling me I don’t have enough tokens. It will not allow me to send or receive messages. Not acceptable.
Don’t use this!
Download it if you want but don’t expect help from customer service. They are crooks and will keep your money even if you delete and cancel the app in five minutes. They are horrible people!
⭐ 1-Star Review: “Dingtone Is a Mess”
Dingtone is one of the most confusing and unreliable phone apps I’ve ever used. The interface is completely unintuitive - random screens, unclear menus, and no consistent way to find or manage phone numbers. Calls and messages often fail or disappear without explanation. Support is minimal, and the app feels unstable and poorly designed. It might look cheap at first, but it ends up costing time and frustration. Avoid it if you actually need a working number.
LA
I can receive sms frm someone but can’t send sms to people who are not using Dingtone app why
Fake calls
I think this company has fake robot calls so it drain your amount you have.. force you buy more
Poor quality, often can not connect
Poor quality, bad connection
Says it gives you second number but doesn’t.
Says it gives you a second number but it does NOT. Has you link it to your old number so you’re still calling from you regular number. A scam and I’m reporting them to apple
Publicidad engañosa
Antes me funcionaba perfecto para WhatsApp ahora no me reportaron el número fatal todo mal
