Scam
I paid for a service to get a phone number for registering on Telegram. However, it turned out to be a complete scam. When I tried to register using the number they provided, I received a message from Telegram saying, "This phone number is banned.

This is a complete scam
This is a complete scam! I was very clear that I needed a number for Telegram, and I specifically chose countries based on what they told me would work. But after purchasing, they kept coming back with excuses-"Oh, this number doesn't work." Then, one of them had the audacity to claim I received a Gmail verification code, which is outright BS because I never even used their service for Gmail!
Apparently, they keep recycling the same numbers, causing endless confusion and failed verifications. I've lost $100, and after refunding me a pathetic $10, they ghosted me completely. I still haven't received a response.
This is a shady, incompetent, money-grabbing scam-stay far away!

Worked first time as intended
Never write reviews but saw this had a lot of negative ones, yes the free numbers may not worked as they're overused but I rented one which was completely fresh and it worked first time as intended. Good service imo

We really appreciate it, especially with all the mixed reviews out there.
Our rented numbers are always fresh and checked before delivery, so we’re glad to hear yours worked the first time.
If you ever need anything again, we’re always here to help!

Scam, don’t waste your money or time.
Paid for a service activation and the code never came. It’s an elaborate scam. Trying to get a refund and no response lol.

We sincerely apologize for the negative experience you’ve had with our numbers. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us via our support email or through our 24/7 chat service. We are here to assist you and will resolve your issue promptly.
Sham! Doesn't work.
I tried all 15 of their numbers for google verification. Not a single one ever received a SMS. Some of them I waited on for 20 minutes plus. None of the numbers work and are likely just stolen phone numbers of people.

We apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced with our service. Please note that our free numbers are indeed functional; however, due to the limitation that each platform can only be verified once per number, these numbers tend to be utilized quickly.
You can monitor the availability of our free numbers in real-time, and you will see that SMS messages are received almost every minute. If you are attempting to verify a platform and cannot find a free number that hasn't already been used, we recommend considering our rental numbers as an alternative.
Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate your patience. Feel free to let me know if you need any further adjustments!
Signed up assuming i could cancel…
Signed up assuming i could cancel before the next day as it's free trial, but now I can't cancel, only by emailing them. And they are not responding.. so will I be charged or will this be cancelled as I asked to cancel in time?? Seems fraudulent to me.

It’s important to note that we do not provide a free trial. Our services include either free numbers or paid numbers. If you are experiencing any issues, please email us again, and we will ensure your concerns are resolved.

Fraudulent site. Stay clear
Bought a private number, did not work.
Contacted their support and nothing. Then went on to try all of their free numbers - none of them received any text messages.
Also, if you take a good look at the 'received' messages, you will notice the pattern for the so-called received messages soon enough
Stay clear, and stay away!

99.9% of our private numbers work perfectly, but if there is something wrong with the number, we always exchange the number or refund.
Best,

Very nice.
Tried it for the first time today and the first number I've chosen didn't work but the second number worked perfectly.

I don't like the fact that it seems that I don't have an easy way to unsubscribe from this service. My trial is about to end up in a few hours and I have already sent an email to the company but they haven't replied yet. I'm worried that I will get charged for just trying to send 1 SMS. Maybe I didn't see that option but I believe it should be clearer for the users or that it should be useful to reply back fast.
