Receive SMS Customer Insights

1. 😔The VIP numbers are the only ones that are any good, the regular numbers are already signed up to everywhere you could think of, I wish there was an option to pay a small fee rather than watch multiple painful 30 second ads every time you need to refresh the numberMight not have personal numbers, but it's vip (watch big ad) numbers didnt count as virtual for what I used them for, so it still has a good use.

2. I have to rate this app with only one star for the moment as there are a lot of countries with no numbers to choose from!!! For Example: Belgium, India, Ireland, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, Turkey to name a few.

3. I would definitely recommend this app to all my friends that need a disposable number they only need for receiving one or a few quick messages.Some numbers not work.

4. No SMS message even after 10 mins!!! Google needs to delete such waste apps from the playstore.So easy to use! Getting started takes almost no time and that's because this app requires no registration.

5. If you can get working numbers for more countries, especially the ones mentioned above, I would certainly rate this application higher, but for now, it's completely useless to me.

6. (Some sites block virtual numbers) protip: if you don't receive your message, don't just refresh page, resend the message, I always got it after a resend for some reason.Trash App.

7. I couldn't receive it from anywhere else but this app ACUALLY works!! Okay, there might be too many ads but it's worth the cause.This app works for sms codes which I haven't seen any other sms apps do, impressed by the app.

8. Have a nice day.After trying numerous such apps and websites, I started to believe that this kind of services are nothing but fake, but to my surprise, that very moment I received my OTP.

9. There are not show any Malaysian number & some other country's numbers.

10. Because they give us to this service totally free.(only normal "we must pay for private number).Also you must have stable internet connection.

11. But most of the numbers are working.
