An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Basic SMS delivery works adequately, but calls are interrupted by ads mid-conversation, spam calls target even paying users, and support is unreachable. The product is unreliable as a primary communication channel.

What people use it for

Anyone who needs a temporary number for a one-time registration

What reviews praise

Quick setup of a second number and eSIM activation without visiting a store.

What reviews complain about

Spam calls are not blocked even on the paid plan, making it hard to tell a real contact from a robot.

This app really helps people to have a business number so they would not mix their personal one. And the pranks are unlimited 😭🙏 I would love to have numbers of my area ❤️

I get anywhere from 1-3 spam calls a day and that's with the paid version. Horrible for my business as it's confusing to know who is a real person vs spam. I'm wasting time and money calling these numbers back each time.

The amount of spam calls is nauseating. There's no way to make the calls stop or put a stop to the app notification. I turned them off from my phone settings but them calls keep coming in. I am talking about 5 or more scam calls about debt relief.
