Almost a year after reporting the voicemail issue below & being told it is a known problem, I still have no solution. same runaround from support. 8/2023 review Great idea, mediocre implementation. I have used this app for over a year now and constantly have problems retrieving voicemails. I get a call & they leave a voicemail & I can almost never retrieve it. I have reported the issue several times and get the same response, delete and reinstall. That never fixes the problem. ...

Works great for calls and personal texting. Kind of hit-and-miss when it comes to receiving one-time verification codes. Some apps work just fine, some (I'm lookin' at you Signal) do not. Not sure why. You can "burn" the old number and get a new one though, so comes in handy sometimes for social media when you might want to "disappear" for a while. Overall, a handy, well-thought-out app with a decent user interface for managing your calls and texts. I like it.

I pay for this app, and it's horrible!!! Incredibly glitchy, if I click on one phone number or takes me to a completely different text I already responded to, it freezes, can't hit the back button, kick me off app and have to relog in constantly forcing me to miss calls and texts I needed to respond to faster, super super annoying!!!! I would not recommend
