## Description

Nextplus gives you a private second line: a free US number (area code you choose), free texting and inbound calls, and affordable outbound calls. It works across devices and over WiFi, so you stay connected without revealing your real number.

The app is supported by optional ads with a one-tap option to remove them, and offers in-app subscriptions for ad-free calling. Note: 911 isn’t supported in the US; outbound calls may require credits; push notifications are needed to receive messages; you manage subscriptions through your device store.

## Review summary

Overall, Nextplus is praised for its privacy and usable design, with appealing themes. However, recurring problems hinder experience: lack of a free number and heavy premium upsell; intrusive pop-ups and ads; frequent account-management issues and poor support; unreliable messaging/calling; and general performance issues such as lags and voicemail bugs. These recurring themes appear across multiple reviews and indicate reliability and support improvements are needed.

### Pros

- Privacy-focused with anti-spam protections
- Good usability with appealing themes
- Generally reliable for calls and texting
- Positive initial setup and visual design with customization options

### Cons

- No free number; users must subscribe to premium
- Persistent pop-ups and ads disrupt usage
- Frequent account problems (bans/deletions/login issues) with weak customer support
- Unreliable messaging and calling (texts fail, calls don’t connect, SMS codes not delivered)
- Performance issues like lags, freezes, and voicemail playback bugs
