Good app to have if you need a second number fast for work purposes or personal reasons. However, there are caveats to it. 1) You get ads popping up after almost every call. 2) Certain features are only given once subscribed to 'lock in' for $1.99 Per Week. 3) If your job requires lots of calls, you will temporarily have your number dropped/suspended while free. 4) Latest bug includes freezing mid-call and won't hang up until you uninstall-reinstall the app.

I'm editing my review because I've just run into a serious problem!! My usual phone is on the fritz. I thought I could just transfer my number to a new phone but I don't see any possible way to do that! The only option I'm given is to get a new number. The other one has all my personal contacts and I'm sure there are a lot of people trying to reach me! I don't know what to do! Previously: One of the best text/call apps around! Good quality calls, SIM card option, ade are tolerable. Good choice!

It works great. I only have access to wifi for the time being and this app met my expectations without needing to jump through 1000 hoops to get it to work. Installed, linked to my google, and set up a number and was immediately able to make a call, send a text, and it alerts when the screen is off. Thank you. It's exactly what I needed to keep in contact with everyone after my service was disconnected. Definitely recommend to anyone in need of phone access when all you have is wifi available.
