I bumped up against Hush's TOS and it took some effort on everyone's part to straighten it out, but their service department is exceptional. I recommend them 100%! And the service itself is clear and reliable. (Oh, and some time ago I had a technical glitch which their IT specialists solved without a hitch.)

I got my account blocked without any reason or violation. I purchased the package with unlimited calls and texts but I couldn't even send just 2 or 3 messages as I tried to test it on my other number (I never received them).

The service is misleading and doesnt answer all questions before you sign up and then they simply block you. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!

Canadian company not using home currency

This is a Canadian company out of Ottawa and does not offer services in Canadian dollars - just USD! I may give it a try if ever they use Canadian dollars. However, the reviews are not too flattering.

Hi Paolo! We are indeed based in Ottawa, but you're correct that we currently use USD. Our sister app, aloSIM, has a wide range of currencies (including CAD) and we plan to add that feature to Hushed, too. Please reach out anytime (heather@hushed.com) if you have questions about either product. --Heather

NEVER TRUST HUSHED - Serious Trust Issues – Took My Money, Then Blocked My Access Without Explanation

I signed up for a Hushed number and subscription less than a week ago. Within a day or two, the service stopped working — I couldn’t make or receive calls or texts. I had barely used the number, not even 10 calls total.

When I contacted customer support, they said there was a "violation," but refused to explain what I had supposedly done wrong. They just told me to “go read the terms and conditions.” Then, without any warning, my account was deleted, and I can no longer log in.

This is unacceptable. They took my money for a service I can’t even use, gave no clear reason, and offered no solution. This kind of behavior shows a serious lack of transparency and raises major trust concerns.

Taran, I apologize if you were not able to use the service. We do occasionally have to restrict access because of TOS issues.

When this happens, we always encourage customers to cancel any active subscriptions immediately in iTunes or Google Play to ensure they are not longer charged.

Because subscriptions are tied to iTunes or Google Play accounts, we have no way to cancel them on your behalf on our end. But our team is available to describe exactly where to find this setting if you need assistance.

Great service at Hushed

The customer support at Hushed is really great. 5/5! They are attentive, responsive, and very eager to find solutions.

The app itself is very useful however, it doesn’t receive confirmation text from banks which I was hoping it would. That’s not a limitation of hushed. It’s a limitation of VOIP phone services.

Thank you for the kind review, Alyssa.

We are always glad for our customers when they're able to receive codes on our numbers, and it happens quite often thankfully.

But sometimes (especially in the case of banks), VoIP numbers are sadly not accepted.

We appreciate the four stars, and we thank you for choosing Hushed! --Heather

Suspended All My Numbers Without Warning – Still Charging Me!

I used Hushed for over three months with no issues, but suddenly all of my phone numbers were suspended without any reason, explanation, or warning. No email, no notification — just shut off.

What’s worse? They’re still charging my card for those suspended numbers. I’m paying for a service I can’t even use, and I have no idea why this happened.

I haven’t contacted support yet, but honestly, this kind of silent suspension is unacceptable. If they can turn everything off without notice, how can anyone trust this service for important communication?

Avoid Hushed. It’s unreliable, and they’ll take your money even when they cut off your access.

Very sorry to hear this. Please contact support (support@hushed.com) because this sounds odd, and it's possible there is simply a log-in issue occurring.

If you are not able to use our service, please go into your iCloud settings or Google Play Store settings to cancel any active subscriptions for Hushed so you are not charged again.

Unjustified Suspension and Account Blocked

I’ve been using Hushed for quite a while now, but my recent experience has left me extremely frustrated and disappointed. My account was suddenly suspended due to "outbound policy violations," which is something I find completely confusing, as I haven’t done anything that would violate any of Hushed's terms.

To provide some context, I have six numbers on my account—three UK and three Canadian numbers—and the only activity I’ve engaged in is texting myself occasionally to keep the numbers active. I have not made any calls or sent texts to anyone outside of my own set of numbers. Everything I’ve done has been personal and within what I understood to be acceptable usage.

When I reached out to live support, I was told that my account had been flagged for these violations, but no clear explanation was provided as to what I actually did wrong. It feels like there’s been a mistake, as I can’t see any way that I could have violated the policies with the activities I’ve been doing. I’m still waiting for a proper response from their support team, but so far, the lack of clarity is incredibly frustrating.

If you’re considering Hushed, be cautious. While the service itself is generally decent, their handling of issues like this is far from ideal. The lack of transparency, poor communication, and unclear reasons for account suspensions make me question how reliable this service really is. If you value your account stability and need clear answers from customer support, you might want to think twice.

I hope my account can be reinstated soon, but at this point, it feels like I’m being penalized for something I didn’t even do.

Recommended!

I've been a loyal Hushed customer for several years now, and I can't recommend their service highly enough. From day one, Hushed has delivered exactly what I needed - reliable, flexible, and incredibly convenient phone service. Whether it's for personal privacy, business use, or travel, Hushed has always performed flawlessly.

What really sets them apart, though, is their outstanding customer support. In every interaction I've had, their support team has gone above and beyond to ensure I’m satisfied. They’re responsive, friendly, and genuinely committed to solving any issue - even the rare, minor ones I’ve encountered over the years. It’s clear they care deeply about their users and take pride in providing top-tier service.

It’s rare to find a service that remains consistently excellent year after year, but Hushed manages to do just that. If you’re looking for a dependable and user-friendly phone solution, look no further. This is one service I’ll continue to use and recommend without hesitation.

Practically a fraud

Practically a fraud. I got a number and immediately tried to use it to receive SMS. I got a response the number is not a valid US number. I contacted their support and I was informed that most of their numbers won't work on third party apps. How the hell are you marketing such numbers? I just bought a number that is practically useless.

I can tell you for free you have the worst customer service i've ever come across. The way you dismissed the query without showing any concern when i had a chat with your agent is appalling.

By the way, i had to buy a new virtual line with Número after you dismissed my complaints. It also did not work initially. They assigned an agent with me and we tried three other numbers until it worked. They showed genuine interest at resolution.

Ship Doctor, was the text you tried to receive a 2FA or account creation text? We do clearly state in the Terms of Service that not every third-party company will accept a VoIP (internet) phone number. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, but I can assure you the phone number will work well for regular phone calls and texts. Reach out anytime if you have questions (support@hushed.com).

Number port was good, and good value for unlimited calls/sms.

So, I ported my Skype # over to hushed. Their service in performing the port was good. Good followup communication from them. So far, the service has been good . I like the ability to have unlimited sms/MMS messages as well. App may need some work or me just getting used to it.
