## Review summary

The reviews show a pattern of unreliability and billing frustration. Key recurring problems are messages not arriving, calls dropping or being blocked, and frequent glitches; customer support is often unresponsive. Many users accuse hidden charges and confusing credits, especially around annual subscriptions and pay-per-use texting/calling. Verification steps (ID/address) are time-consuming and sometimes fail. A few notes mention the app can work for some users and offers a second phone number with initial free credits, but overall sentiment is negative.

### Pros

- Some users report the app works well for calls and texts.
- Provides a second phone number option.
- Initial free credits help test the service.
- Occasional positive feedback on basic functionality.

### Cons

- Messages/texts are frequently not delivered or delayed.
- Customer support is often unresponsive or slow to reply.
- Billing is confusing and includes extra credits for calls despite annual subscriptions.
- App experiences glitches, crashes, and calls dropping mid-use.
- ID/address verification is required, with delays and issues due to low-quality document uploads.
