Best. free. This is not a greedy complicated app company. I've use it for years with no problems. I pay the $3 monthly Only to get rid of ads. most charge $10 and involve credits. It does use ur cellular when not on wifi so it can be used as a main number if needed for non essential people. their customer service is nice and fixed a problem quickly. and they now have dark mode!! trust that this is the best one as I've tried the top few and they don't compare. they are Canadian btw, no wonder lol

Been using it for 3 years! ❤️ it is very simple and easy to use. I have had the same number and I only have the free plan. I don't make very many calls but I probably make one or two calls a day on the line and it always works good. You do need good cell service or wifi. I love it because it is free. It does have ads that pop up between calls, but that has never been an issue for me. It is also great for texting and you can send photos and even short videos. I would rate at 6 Stars 🤩

About 2 months ago I stopped getting text notifications. I had the paid version for many months, then stopped receiving incoming phone calls. Support said to uninstall, reboot, reinstall. The app has no option for signing into your account & ONLY says to get a NEW number (paid version locks in yr #). Support said to sign in with email anyway - which is impossible since that option is NOT offered. Cancelled. It was for 2 small businesses & newly met people.

I used to use this app and it worked fine. The ads were somewhat annoying as it interrupts every other interaction, but it's free. I'm trying to use the app again. It is stuck in a loop asking for my email and then press and hold to confirm you aren't a robot. It just keeps repeating this over and over again. The app isn't usable as a result. I cleared the cache and data, yet it still didn't work. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled, still doesn't work. This is on a Samsung Galaxy Note10+

I've had the same number since 2013. I use free version and I have to say, it works well. I have people that think this is my actual phone number, lol. The app can be glitchy if you make alot of calls. I just use it for mainly text messages and as a alternate number for certain situations if they need a contact number for whatever reasons. But the new software updates have improved its use over the years. Otherwise, great app whether you get the free version or paid.

Awesome! Does exactly what it says it does. Absolute free. I've tried dozens of other "free" calling apps but those were all scams requiring you to sign up and share your email address and agree to all sorts of invasive permissions before you even open it, or force you to buy time after a trial period of 3-7 days, force you to play games & watch ads for more calling credits. Not 2ndLine. This app is simple, free, no strings attached. U can upgrade for $ but I only use the free version.

I've been an active user for a pretty minute now.... and I have no complaints. Eventually,I became a premium member but tbh, the offered free version is sufficient and easy enough to navigate. I use it as my personal business phone number. It's one of the few REALLY free apps without bullying you with paywalls. You're also able to personalize the theme and colors to make it feel more like YOURS! 5 ★'s well earned!

Not reliable at all! Decided to use it for my travel. Created a number and texted to myself to test that it works. Was able to get the sms. Maybe a week later, I got a popup that my number was revoked and transferred to another account, which was weird without even any notification. Ok. I tried to get new number, but the app shows error message that I violated their terms of use and that I cannot get a number. How this even possible if all i did is just send single sms to myself:(

Absolute dirtbags. Had number for years. Paid for it for a long while then went back to free. Later, started warning to use number every few months to keep it. Then every month. Then they silently stopped notifying you at all. Over this whole time they jacked up the paid plan by a huge amount. Today, they took my number away for good, with no notification. Stay away unless you want to pay more for a 2nd line than you do for your main number!

Love the free app. Great for keeping personal info safe & having an extra line to separate business & personal numbers. The calling feature is sometimes sketchy, especially if you don't have a great signal. Sometime's it won't ring & goes strait to voicemail. Texting can be slow. I'll get texts hours after they're sent & no notifications, I'll open the app & have multiple new messages. For a free app though, it's great to have option.

Used to work perfectly. When I installed the most recent update my number suddenly expired for no apparent reason. No option to log in, I am forced to the pick a number screen every time I open the app. Forced to pick a new number, no other option. Once I did so, I could clearly see the texts I sent this month along with a new message from 2nd line saying I lost my number because my account has been inactive for too long. Can't make that make sense.

This app is a perfect 10, from convenience to all the features and options that it provides, it's just like having another phone number to the same phone, it's better than "text now" and all them other apps. You simply cannot beat it and I highly recommend it to all my friends. BEEN RECOMMENDING IT. And this here I'm just talkin about the free version, If you pay for it I can only imagine!!!!!

The app generally works well but there are some hiccups. For instance, when I add a number as a new contact, sometimes their profile picture will be used as their avatar, sometimes not. Sometimes it will be there for awhile and then, it'll disappear from the app. The only way I've found to get it back after it's disappeared is to delete the text messages and start over. That's definitely suboptimal.

Calls come through, but I'm not notified of most texts. Ads are frustrating because I can't pick up an incoming call while the ad is playing (missing calls). Suddenly the app says I've violated the terms of use and my acct is frozen, and my number has been disposed of. No indication of what they think I've done. Customer service is only available by email and hasn't opened mine (according to my email tracker) that I sent 2 days ago. Uninstalling.

So far, it seems to work alright, but I don't like apps that attempt to hijack my phone. It acts like it's the most important thing in my phone, and don't appreciate that. I've also noticed that unless you let it be the default, then you have to keep the app open all the time in order to get calls and messages to come thru... Having apps open like that bogs down the system. Super Irritating.

I run a business from the 2nd line I subscribed to and I am a paid subscriber. Last night I got locked out of signing in. I contacted support and they told me that I violated their terms of use, which I never have. The developer can't fix the bug and is lying in their responses to others over violating TOU. Just check the recent negative reviews. They can't fix the issue, so they are choosing to lie to their customers instead. Deplorable.

One of the best free call/text services I've used so have kept it. You don't have to deal with earning "credits" for non-international calls/texts. Doesn't have those extra loud, full screen video ads with 30 countdowns. If you don't have a connection, you get a missed call notification once the connection is back. I also love the security options with the pin, etc. There are occasional issues (for example; speech/call delays), but it's free so I can't complain.

Update: This used to be the go to app for a "2nd line". I have been a paid customer for a few years and things have been great. Now all of a sudden I have to have 'credits' to make certain calls INSIDE the US. This is why I relied on this app where I didn't have to buy a second line. Can't contact anyone. Still to this day, no remedy has been sought for the problems I've had since first contact. Deleting off my phone.😖

The app used to be pretty good, but something has gone wrong. Two weeks ago it took my number away even though I had made a call in the last month. I'd had that number for years without issue before that. Today it took the new number away, one I'd only had two weeks and received a call on a few days ago. It seems clear that the devs only want paid customers now. Avoid the app like the plague.
