Our take

This app’s whole reason to exist made more sense a few years ago, before RCS and generous native carrier plans closed the gap. It still works as a burner-number solution, but the pitch feels a little stuck in 2015.

What we like

Genuinely free US/Canada calling and texting with a real phone number is a real service
No calling-credit gimmick, unlike many "free" call apps that meter minutes
Useful as a secondary number without a second SIM

Watch out for

Free VoIP calling apps like this are typically funded by fairly aggressive ad loads
Concept feels dated next to RCS-native messaging now built into default phone apps
