Some users praise the app for call/text features and call quality, but a larger number report serious downsides: paywalls for obtaining numbers, calls not working despite balance, updates that break functionality, privacy concerns and data sharing, OTP verification failures, heavy advertising, and weak customer support. A minority still find it usable in certain situations. ### Pros - Positive overall reception: users describe it as a great/excellent/nice app. - Some users report good call quality with clear audio and low lag when connected. - Perceived usefulness for calls/text over WiFi and travel scenarios. - Occasional quick connection times in some cases (took a few seconds to connect). ### Cons - Not free: paywall for the first phone number / paid credits to use. - Calls sometimes fail or become unusable despite balance; updates appear to have disrupted functionality. - Privacy and security concerns: data sharing and trust/safety worries. - OTP verification can fail: users report not receiving verification codes. - Excessive advertising and reportedly poor customer support. ## Similar extensions and apps - [OnPhone: Second Number & eSIM](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.aimobiapps.onphone) — 3,816,810 users, 4.33 / 5 - [2nd Phone Number Calling, Text](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.prettyboa.secondphone) — 645,197 users, 4.47 / 5 - [OnePhone: Numbers & eSIM Data](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.onevoiplanet.onephone) — 26,878 users, 4.20 / 5 - [World Phone](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.norwoodsystems.worldphone) — 3,358,905 users, 4.03 / 5 - [APhone - Second Phone Number](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.app.aphone) — 2,469,029 users, 3.33 / 5 - [TextApp:Texting & WiFi Calling](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.textfun.text.free.call) — 5,015,333 users, 4.06 / 5 - [Phone Number: Texts & Calls](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.phonenumber.textscalls.secondphonenumber) — 16,962 users, 3.40 / 5 - [Second Phone Number App: eSIM](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.municorn.secondPhone) — 166,035 users, 3.72 / 5 - [2nd SIM - Second Phone Number](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.secondphone.virtualnumber) — 4,408 users, 2.60 / 5 - [2nd Line - Second Phone Number](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.second.phone.number.text.now.sideline_2ndline) — 1,439,854 users, 4.47 / 5 - [Text App: Second Phone Number](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.text.app.secondphonenumber.free2ndline.now.texting.calling.me) — 7,376 users, 4.47 / 5 - [AlterPhone: Number & eSIM](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.alterphone) — 544 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.wephoneapp)
