1. [R4] Dingtone 1/5 · US App works occasionally: When it works, it does what it is supposed to do. But there are too many bugs, sometimes even making it impossible to enter numbers or select from recent calls because the screen is blocked. In general, disappointing expensive experience
2. [R6] Dingtone 3/5 · US The volume is low. Freezes, other issues: The volume is very low even on speaker phone. That happened even in my brand new phone. It Freezes at times, and when you want to answer a call or to hang out a call, and the phone has gone on lock screen, then it asks you to unlock the phone first before hanging out !!
3. [R18] Dingtone 3/5 · US Cannot dial a number: App is very glitchy on iPad Air for me. Cannot get the dial pad to work after many attempts to fix.
4. [R24] Dingtone 3/5 · GB Frozen screen: Your dial screen and button is frozen, can’t even access a missed call. How do I fix this? If I delete and reinstall will I lose my setup and number?
5. [R1] Dingtone 1/5 · US Scammers: They removed my number after I bought credits so now I can’t use them unless I pay more for a new number, which doesn’t use credits. So I wasted my money on a useless product
6. [R10] Dingtone 1/5 · US Phone number renewal: I paid to renew my number, but I received an auto-reply saying, “We’re sorry that the number is occupied.” My Austrian number expired on June 12, and I had 10 days to reclaim it. This is unacceptable, and I want it resolved. What's going on? Please fix it or refund me so I can take my business elsewhere. There was no way to contact customer service. The same thing happened th
7. [R12] Dingtone 3/5 · US Scheme: I don’t understand this app anymore, I tried to purchase number twice. They accept my payment but didn’t give me the number after it said successful. This is unfair to me
8. [R16] Dingtone 1/5 · US They will steal your money, apparently: It claims 839 is not a valid area code. It is. And it is mine. A request for a refund was denied by Apple even though I could never even log in to the service to make an account. I received an email from their dev team telling me to email their customer service. I did. Two weeks ago. I've heard nothing. Al.ost a month ago I paid for a service I never receive
9. [R15] Dingtone 3/5 · US Restore purchase: How do I restore my old purchases ? I have an active subscription but I can’t find where to restore on my new phone. I can’t remember if I’ve linked email to my account . Please help
10. [R17] Dingtone 4/5 · US Didn’t work: I live overseas and need a USA phone number. Tried this and it didn’t work for bank account or getting my credit report. Basically useless and can’t even submit a help request.
11. [R2] Dingtone 4/5 · US Not bad but not good enough: So I’m a 12 yr old going in to 7th grade and I don’t have a phone so I use my iPad for most stuff and I like to call my family and friends sometimes and most of them don’t answer but when I called my dad he told me that the caller ID said potential spam then I called my mom and she said the same thing (after she got really mad and started cussing at me and then she re
12. [R36] Dingtone 3/5 · GB Calls hasn’t been going through since I got the unlimited calls to USA and Canada: Hello , Ever since I purchased the Unlimited Calls to USA and Canada , None of my calls has been going through and Neither are my messages also delivering . I would be glad if these can be looked into and corrected. Thanks
13. [R8] Dingtone 4/5 · US Not that bad not that good: I mean you can verify your Apple ID but I don’t recommend you to because you might lose access to your Apple ID and that phone number might be expired so your going to lose access to it for good and the rest I don’t know what to say so 4 stars!

17. [R54] TextNow 1/5 · US Want to love it: The call quality is okay but you have to be on WiFi. I don’t like that they charge you if you want to receive any type of verification code. This app charges weekly to get verification codes

20. [R67] Text Me 1/5 · US Awful app: This app has a pay wall. I order to get certain texts you need to upgrade. Not free at all. Dumb horrible app that takes advantage of people who are trying to get messages, and they want you to allow tracking? Scammers.

25. [R84] Text Free 3/5 · US Could be better: It always has adds and when you call the quality is horrible even when I have internet!.
26. [R85] Text Free 1/5 · US Verification Codes: I paid the 10$ and it specifically said in the paid section I would get this perk. Well I paid and this number I was provided has not been receiving verification codes!

28. [R94] textPlus 5/5 · US Perfect for my needs: I have issued a free US number and it works flawlessly. WhatsApp codes come through and overall a great service. 5 stars!
29. [R96] textPlus 1/5 · US Took my money: I paid for an annual subscription and could not make 1 phone call and I was able to send a text which was supposed to be unlimited calls and texts within the U.S., but it said that I was sending too many text messages after 1 message. After about a week of going around and around with some bot pretending to be live support, and being denied a refund request 3 times by the App Store
30. [R97] textPlus 5/5 · US Random guy: I like this so much because the verification code process was free unlike other 2nd phone number apps

34. [R113] Talkatone 1/5 · US Doesn’t work: Can’t even register
35. [R9] Dingtone 3/5 · US It was fine: When I first got it I was like wow this is such a good app. But then later in the day it said “texting and calling not free ,why?” and I was like what you have to pay for every text you send
36. [R22] Dingtone 1/5 · US Not sticking to agreement: You guys said a text message cost 0.5 credit but in reality it costs like 5 credit per messages. I need explanation, this is too expensive
