User Reviews

Users frequently praise the app for switching between multiple numbers, and for an ad-supported, free basic usage model. However, reliability is a major issue: many reviews report SMS delivery failures, blocked or reused numbers, and codes arriving from sites they didn’t sign up for. The experience is plagued by pervasive ads and subscription pressure, with reports of hidden charges and difficult refunds. Support is often unresponsive, and there are privacy concerns about data and number reclaiming. Overall, useful for selective temporary verification, but risky for reliable, long-term use.

Pros

Ability to switch between multiple numbers quickly.
Ad-supported/free basic usage (no upfront subscription).
Useful for temporary/verification-only signups to avoid exposing your real number.

Cons

SMS verification codes often don’t arrive or are blocked; numbers can be banned.
Numbers are often invalid, reused, or unreliable for receiving codes.
Intrusive, pervasive ads; hard to close; subscription pressure to remove ads.
Poor customer support and difficulty contacting; some reports of scam-like behavior.
Hidden charges and unexpected card billing; privacy concerns about data and number reclaiming.
