Horrible Customer Service. I downloaded this app and paid for a year subscription to use as a business phone number. After one week, I was contacted by a customer who said they tried to call but kept receiving a busy signal. I sent a message to support and over 24 hours later received a message saying I violated their terms of service and my account was indefinitely suspended. The only thing this phone number was used for was legitimate business calls. I reviewed the terms of service, and nothing was listed that I violated. I sent them a message explaining this, but never received a response back. Do not use this app. They did not even notify me to let me know. The account was suspended or number was no longer active. It took me to contact them to find this out. There are many others that are much better.

Mixed emotions. The idea behind this app is great. It reminds me of my google voice number. Just a few differences. This one I have to pay for (but it is affordable) whereas google voice is free. All my messages and calls go through on google voice as far as I know and I’ve been using it for about 6 years. For some reason I have had several calls drop and text messages that never get delivered on this Hushed app. This is disappointing as I am using it for my personal business and have no idea how many prospective clients are attempting to call or text me and not getting through. I don’t want to lose clientele because I never heard from them and they think I just never got back with them. I plan to give the app another month and see if all my messages and calls are going through both ways. If so then I will keep it and I love the app but if I keep having undelivered messages and dropped calls then I will just add a second phone line to my plan and cancel the app. Not worth the money if I am losing clients due to the ineffectiveness of the app or if I’m making a user error.

Recurring Scam. UPDATE: Yesterday August 20th, I created a new account to test out if you guys are for real or scammers. 1 minute after creating the account, my account was blocked because it couldn’t make calls. I sent in an email and they told me my account has being in violation and my account suspended indefinitely. It is confirmed, you guys are scammers ======================= Hushed has scammed me in a big and recurring manner. I made a purchase for 1 number, it couldn’t make calls nor receive sms so I thought the problem was the originator of the calls or sms because I blindly trusted hushed. I kept buying new numbers to try out, bought about 7 number in total which I didn’t get to use any of them, so I decided to reach out to the support only for them to tell me I breached their terms and conditions so my account has been revoked. If my account has been revoked, why didn’t you tell me earlier? Why didn’t you block/deleted my account from your service? Why did you keep taking my money? I have regretted wasting so much time and money on them and when ever you try to reach out to them for explanation, they send you them same pre-written text. Goodbye

Excellent app!. Once everything was set up, everything has worked perfectly. I bought a yearlong subscription for three numbers (family, friends, and dating), and each number works well. My only complaint was that during the purchasing, after I bought the numbers, I had to contact customer service to get them to activate the numbers. It wasn’t an instantaneous process like I thought it would be. The customer service person was incredibly helpful and got my numbers set up quickly however. My only suggestion would be to state that it won’t be an instantaneous process, at least not always. Otherwise it’s a great app!

Stellar Pricing, Amazing Service. I’ve downloaded probably every single phone app on the App Store, and Hushed blows them all away not only in terms of pricing, but service as well. I had a service issue resolved within less than 5 minutes submitted via the in-app ticket submission service. No need for a call, no waiting forever, just done. I submitted the request at 9:00 PM ET too. Really just awesome service and the app itself works perfectly too. The package for 3 unlimited phone lines is a superb value. Nothing comes close to it— believe me I looked everywhere else first and because of that know definitively that Hushed is the best.

Love the idea, if only it worked right.. I’ve been a paid customer for a couple of years now. I have several side hustles and I like to keep them separated and organized by making a different phone number for each different hustle. I needed something that can send and receive picture messages as well. Bushes in theory does that, it just doesn’t do it well. Often I send a message just to find out later it never went through. And yes, this happens A LOT! Sometimes a customer will send me several photos but only 1 will come through. Or other times they’ll send me one but it’ll load for hours until I can actually view the photo. I’ve stuck with it for so long because their customer service department does seem to try hard to get things fixed and I was hoping they would get the kinks worked out eventually but my patience has run out. Love the idea, the execution is very lacking though.

Love it but needs improvements. I love hushed best app ever if you need a second phone number without needing to buy another phone. But it would be nice if they could add FaceTime or video call so it’s easier for us to have a conference call with business associate abroad, and it would be nice if we could view videos sent to us too whenever someone sends a video it never opens so it would be nice to view videos too. It would be nice if we could still receive messages despite our credits finishing. I’ve had an issue where I didn’t top up on my credits and I didn’t receive any texts despite being told by many that they tried to contact me. These improvement would be highly appreciated.

Great for maintaining multiple numbers. I use Hushed to have separate numbers to give out when I don’t what to give out my real phone number. By using a Hushed number, telemarketers and political robocalls can still reach me when I want to pick up, but I can just as easily change my Hushed number and be done with them. I can also give out a Hushed number to services that send me SMS updates and notifications and keep those separate from my personal texting.

It’s a scam run in the name of adhering to their terms of service. These guys are total scamsters. Their Customer Support is probably the WORST thing you'd ever experience. If anyone still wants to try Hushed - this will be their typical fun ride: 1. Sign up for a subscription 2. Send a few messages or make a few calls to your friends or colleagues - say just 10-odd messages. 3. Within a few hours you'll have your account de-activated. 4. When you reach out to their Customer Support, the front desk will forward your ticket to a so-called 'expert' who will say you violated their so-called terms of service and instruct you on how to cancel your subscription with the caveat that you will not receive a prorated refund for the remaining days of your subscription. Their customer support 'experts' won't even answer your questions, suggest ways to re-activate your account or even explain what exactly resulted in violation of terms of service - instead, they'll just tell you repeatedly to cancel the subscription to stop the recurring and non-refundable charges. And as you would notice on this review board, the customer support would shamelessly copy-paste the same 'we are sorry' message to all genuinely disgruntled subscribers. Our business is considering filing a lawsuit against these scamsters with the hope that more individuals and businesses won't experience the same pain and that Hushed will either cease to exist to stop scamming people.

Horrible customer service. I use Hushed as my work line this is absolutely vital for my work obviously. The past 2 days I have not been able to call out or receive calls in. I’ve left them multiple emails and it seems like the is no avail. You can’t even get in contact with a representative on the phone from another line they only contact you through email. My last issue was about a month ago and it took them 2 weeks to separate multiple lines where if you had a direct customer support line and NOT email only the problems would’ve been resolved much sooner! They are starting to force me to look at other options and drop their service completely!

Useless. 8 hours to log in and NO Numbers!. I signed up and prepaid because their software says they have New Hampshire numbers… they don’t! You won’t find out until you try to get one. Then you get another copy paste response that numbers constantly change so just keep trying. But, attempt a new signup and it says “Several numbers found for New Hampshire!” LIES! Again, after payment… no New Hampshire numbers. I have all the screen recordings to prove it. I felt I needed them because calling tech support… “call failed” call customer service about the charges… “call failed”. Multiple attempts and nothing. If I didn’t need a New Hampshire number I can get free service from several other sources, I don’t know why companies like this are allowed on this platform.

Kindly check. I felt bad though , but from the start I live in Dallas and work in Tyler . I have this app to text my intimate friend without my bf content . But suddenly I got kicked all of a sudden from my hushed in middle of vital communicate with my friend , my $4.99 wasn’t charged to my account though and honestly there were no charges to my account clear on that but they should work on getting innocent people kicked out of their paid account , when they tried to reopen a new one they won’t give you a 3 days trial anymore so you would be charged directly so watch out there , they maybe more extra charges . Hush should work on their staff and engineers . Cheers

Use to be good now it’s horrible!. Don’t know what happened as I’ve used this app for several years and thought it was great for my needs under the lifetime plan. Suddenly one day I open the app and find myself logged out and unable to login. I am unable to get an email with a password reset link despite trying many times to request one via the app and web browser with the “forgot my password” option. I’ve messaged customer support and was asked to provide proof of purchase??? I don’t keep receipts for things I bought years ago. It seems like they no longer honor the old lifetime plans that were purchased several years ago all of the sudden. I wished they would of sent a message to users if they decided they no longer want to provide us lifetime members this service anymore. This way I would of switched my service in a timely manner before getting kicked off. Now I’m having trouble logging into things for things I used my hushed number as a dedicated second line for.

Tech support best in biz. Hushed is 5 stars with me and has been 5 stars for the year or more ice used it. A month ago I noticed when using my iPad I coukd not bring up my photo gallery to send a picture. I made a support request and it took a month to fix this. That's excellent, not a bad thing. Reproducing the issue was tough. The issue has to be upgraded to the developer level. Never did support Hushed insinuate the issue was my fault or I was imagining it. Rhianna and Chris made sure to ask questions and keep me informed. Two days ago the solution came in the form of a an update, I tested it and Voilaâ! Works perfectly. Hushed devoted a lot of time and resources to solve this. Then there was another short delay waiting for Apple to greenlight the uodate, Such tenacity truly impresses me. I am moving Hushed from Excellent to Perfect.

Epic flop. Hushed was good. I spent probably 500 bucks a year on 7 different phone numbers. Every one of them failed. Quit working for 2.5 weeks. You submit ticket and you don’t get support. You get a chat bot canned answer. They do not have phone support. No email support. No support at all If their head wasn’t up their rear they would have started taking phone support while they went through an outage. But they could care less. It’s a really bummer. I cancelled 7 phone lines with them tonight after waiting 2.5 weeks with zero service and zero support. And on top of all that they kept charging me! Crazy. Epic flop. Well it’s been 1.5 months now and the numbers still don’t work. Call routing doesn’t work which is supposed to be their work around. I have had a call work a couple times but the quality is so bad you can’t use it. Emailed customer support like 15 times. They just don’t care.

WARNING: DO NOT PAY FOR THE SERVICE. They will delete your account even after paying for lifetime number. Out of the blue they have deleted my account with them stating I violated something in section 10 of the agreement. I have hardly used the number, had it as a back up so I didn’t have to give my personal phone number out. I keep asking why this happened and it’s the same copy and paste answer. This app should be removed from the App Store and Groupon offers as well. Rhianna (Hushed Support) Feb 11, 15:35 EST Hello, After further investigation, this account has been found to be in violation of the Hushed Terms of Service that was agreed to upon sign up of the service.

The account mentioned has been suspended indefinitely to prevent further risks towards burdening our network, service, and its users.

We apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused. Thank you,

Great tool. I’ve only had one issue and that’s replying to one of those funky business 5 digit code/numbers that my banks and AT&T use. I thought it might be a big, but I found it is an acknowledged limitation of apps in this category. And the message was a marketing thing I had some interest in and used hide my email and my hushed number to protect my anonymity. So shushed has been most helpful now that every website out there wants an email address and often a phone number before even getting to see their products!

DO NOT USE FOR BUSINESS CALLS!!. Working for a start up looking to hire 400 people in Ohio. I have to make a lot of calls, and found that I receive better responses when using a local number. That’s why I used Hushed. At about two days after about 30-40 phone calls hand dialed I received a TOS violation notice. I contacted the help desk and explained to them what I was doing and everything was fine. A couple more days go by I had made no calls because I was working on something else. When I returned to making the hiring calls, and texts after a morning of probably a dozen text messages and maybe two dozen calls, I was no longer able to login. Did they inform me of the TOS violation? No, they just completely deleted my account all together keeping my $25 mind you. I could have responses to texts sent to help people who need work get work. These guys are idiots. Most people use these types of things to send prank phone calls to their ex wives I’m trying to use it for legitimate purposes paid my money and they screw me and about 40 people trying to find a job in Cleveland.

Fraud as far as am concerned.. STAY AWAY. I Paid for a one year subscription, my account was deactivated in less than a week… asked for a reason why and they said i violated some of their policy without been specific, I barely made any calls and sent only few sms. I asked for a refund because i have only enjoyed 4 out of 365 days of service, so far i’v been ignored. With regards their service it was very poor for me, calls barely connected with less than 20% success rate, only sms worked ok…revenue is not earned until service is provided; a one year Subcription fee should be recorded as unearned revenue on the liability side of a balance sheet…Hushed attempt not to issue a refund without providing service is fraud as far as am concerned… you can’t withhold customer funds at your sole discretion if you are no longer able to provide service. … they can do this to anyone… apart from the fact that the call service is also very poor. I will advise customers to stay away…

Very basic, multiple glitches…. Overall it’s a decent app, it does what it says it’s going to do. My issues with it is that it doesn’t have multi texting, so you can only text one person at a time, you can’t do group texts. Second issue that is that it’s glitchy with connecting to Bluetooth, if you have a headset and someone calls you, they can hear you but you can’t hear them. You basically have to hang up on them and call them back. My third issue is that it’s very difficult to cancel subscription, they make it impossible that you have to go into your Google or your iTunes account, they don’t allow you to cancel just directly from the app… That shouldn’t be a bother except it took me quite a while to hunt down how to cancel the subscription.

Still needs work. Apparently, the only way they have worked out for me to be able to receive phone calls to this number on my iPhone is to eliminate using Bluetooth on the iPhone. Of course, this is quite a negative issue. Outgoing calls are working fine. I do appreciate support working with me though I wish I could talk to a person. The other issue I have is I cannot assign my name or any kind of identity to my outgoing calls. Therefore every call is shown to be a Spam Risk call. This is unfortunate for those of us who don’t have a SECRET purpose but who simply want an extra line for good reasons. And sometimes there is a little latency in the call connecting (especially incoming). There may be some usefulness to this, but the negatives make that difficult to determine. I am hopeful they will continue to work to make this more like a true additional line. But, for now, still needs work.

Excellent Excellent Second Phone App. This has been one of my best purchases. The number works so well that I use it as my preferred business line. Integration with iPhone is seamless; I’m able to take/make calls and texts through my phone and Bluetooth devices without a lot of extra button pushing overhead. Only 2 things preventing 5 stars... 1. Very infrequently, I’m logged out of my account and miss calls and texts. Not sure why this happens. Suspect it is due to updates but hasn’t happened during the last 2 updates. 2. Some apps, accounts, etc do not accept this as a ‘legitimate’ phone number. When I first got this app I didn’t have this problem. Maybe I just got lucky and chose a number that was previously tied to a land line or ‘real’ cell. In any case, it is stupid for people to delegitimize Hushed numbers —- Hello people...it’s 2019 already! This make so much more sense than carrying multiple cellphones!!

Can’t verify phone number. I ran into a problem when signing up for text notifications with Sam’s Club. When I respond to their text I get an error message saying I cannot text using an international phone number. I don’t know how Sam’s Club is considered an international phone number. I bought this service so that I could use it with companies instead of giving out my regular phone number. In addition to that the number I am using was previously used by Christine. She is very popular amongst headhunters and I get several calls and texts daily trying to recruit her services. In addition to that I can find no way to contact tech-support. The quality of the audio leaves a bit to be desired as well. Other than that, the service works as advertised.

Great Customer Care!. I’m very pleased to use this useful app. Though it could not be used for what’s app or Viber, it operates well in regular SMS/calls. And the best part is their prompt and very helpful customer service. They fix any issues you raise promptly and graciously! Thankful for this app! Keep up the good work! Updated: Less 1 star because even you got three more days left, the “extend your number” is already blocking the view of your SMS remaining balance. So you got no idea how many SMS left in your account. I hope they put that notification blocking my view only a day before expiration. In addition, sometimes you get unwanted, random calls to your entirely new number which you have only used for someone who never calls. And those random calls are being deducted from your balance too.

Trouble free, until it’s not. Great service right up until there is a problem. Then all you hear from them is: “that is our policy,” or “we have no control over that.” I have been checking two to three times a day for 65 days now waiting for a Washington State number to become available… “That’s out of our control, suggest you just keep checking.” For how long? A decade??? 50 years?? Sheesh! Developer whined about this review, which was my response to their “keep checking” after 45 days of no Washington numbers. SURPRISE, multiple Washington numbers just popped up. If they had taken action in the first place, I would have not been forced to leave a bad review. One year later: I am so done with this company. After a recent update the app just erased all of it’s data off my phone. If you need a second phone number that is off the radar, just go with another service provider. Be sure that you select a provider with a different frequency/type of service. i.e., GRS vice CDME.

Scammers Scammers Scammer. Hush is a scam they run a scam ring and this app need to be investigated and shut down, they take your money and don’t refund you back, and they provide you with just 1 week service for a full month charged then you can’t receive text, can’t send text and calls when you complain they close your account without a refund, sometimes when you try to buy a number they charge you directly to your itune and they never assist a number to you without a refund they are a scam ring and they have been doing this for long, they need to be investigated and shut down out of business because they are thieves and scammers operating under a legitimate license. SCAMMERS SCAMMERS SCAMMERS BEWARE. FBI you need to look into them.

Seriously. I have been using this app for years and it does have some nice features but it is really primitive because there is no capability to track if you texts have been read or not and it has some problems opening certain types of attachments, however, for the past few months it’s became even worse by skipping receiving some texts or receiving them in the wrong order or receiving them very late, for example a friend of mine texting me 4 texts: I received text number three and four and after 50 minutes I receive text number one and after a few minutes I received text number two.

More than an App - A Great Product!!!. I’ve had a Hushed number for over a year and love the features. It’s a great way to add a line to you mobile phone without a high monthly cost. The quality of the calls are SUPERB!!! I have never had a disconnected/dropped call or the sound of being under water that you sometimes get from other 2nd line providers. Text messages use the same technology that your service provider does so you can register your Hushed number as a verification number that needs round trip SMS (forgot the official name of it but banks use it). I’m so confident and pleased with Hushed that I purchased an additional line for business use. Both of my numbers are lifetime numbers which means as long as I use them once every 180 days I won’t lose them. Some of their vendors have discounts on lifetime numbers like Groupon. Hushed was one of my best purchases from the App Store. I highly recommend using HUSHED!

Be careful they over charge. So when I signed up they were offering a free trial period for new users. I’m new so I’m like great. The service was actually good. No complaints at all in that area (which is why I gave 2 stars)however once I checked my bank statement I was not only charged when I was suppose to have a free trial period but the plan I picked was there unlimited plan for $4.99 they charged me way more then that. When I messaged customer support they told me I didn’t pick the free trial which I know I did but whatever when I asked about the over charge they disregarded that by saying if their is a problem with your service then we can help you out if not you can unsubscribe from our services. So I unsubscribe from their services and I filed a fraud affidavit at my bank. The customer service department is horrible you don’t deal with the same person you filed a ticket with. I got multiple reps who really didn’t care that this company just ripped me off. It’s other apps out there that will not rip you off but offer the same services and you speak to a live person.

Great 2nd Line👍🎖🏆. Works well. Still learning the app but basics shows it it great. Is there a dark more setting? This is a 2022 update to my original review. This app works great. Can’t say enough about the trouble free service. Thank you! What could make it better is to allow the app to either mirror the phone display settings or facilitate a Dark Mode. When using at night, I get blinded momentarily when I check messages as I come into the app from a dark screen to the blazing white background. A utility that allows HUSHED to go dark would be fantastic! Also, the settings is a bit confusing as there are two sections that hold different aspects of that utility. Contracting all settings into one folder or place would be helpful. As I use this as a undisclosed 2nd line, having an ability to blank the screen from prying eyes by exiting the app when the phone is turned face down would be another wish-list item. Thank you Hushed for a good experience.

Solid Offering - Questionable Privacy. Hushed is definitely a contender for the best 2nd number or “Burner” application. The app itself has a nice UI/UX and is updated frequently. I’ve never used support but they seem quick to respond to other folks. The pricing is fair and cheaper than most. I haven’t seen them ever raise the rates. My only gripe and concern is the app’s privacy report. Not stellar. People use this app to maintain privacy, and it seems hypocritical that it keeps so many tabs on you to what I (assume) is to make additional revenue selling to advertisers. Lame business model if this is the case. TL;DR: 4/5. Would be perfect if privacy report was better.

Best phone app yet!!!. I have been using hushed for a few years now I love it .... gets rid of telemarketers and annoying calls you just block that number and That’s it their gone! You also have the option to go back and unblock if you change your mind! Having a voicemail too makes it that much greater for missed calls I really enjoy not having to give my personal number to businesses but using hushed instead if I don’t want the calls I just close the app when I’m ready for those calls I open and they never get my identifying or personal info thank you to the hushed team !!!! 😍😍😍👍🏼

Missing Texts. Update: It took a few days, but Hushed was able to figure out what was going on and fixed the issue. Eventually I was receiving no texts at all, then I could receive texts from my wife but no one else. I’m now receiving all texts, which is a relief. It’s still a disappointment, because I have no way to know how many texts I missed. We used Hushed thinking it would give us more reliability than our cell network. That being said, I’m upping the rating to 3 stars, because the costumer service is quite good in that they were in contact with me about this the entire time. They’re courteous and attentive. This could have been some kind of fluke that happened during the porting process. I’m not sure. Previous Review: This number is for work, but I’m missing texts. I can’t send texts either. I send them, but no one receives them. The only texts I receive are spam texts. To make matters worse, the texting was working I still wasn’t receiving group texts. I don’t care if the group text shows up as a group text, but I should at least get the text message. There’s no telling how many people have tried to reach me. What an awful mistake this was?!

Disdain for paying customer. I had a problem renewing one of my lines because the payment method I had been using failed to work and I couldn’t fix it in time before the line expired. I restored the hushed line within an hour or two of expiration after I reestablished payment. I had paid for this line for years and so had a lot of minutes and texts banked on it. I made a request to customer service to restore my minutes, and explained what had happened. They agreed to reestablish my account but they didn’t restore all of my minutes/texts - essentially they restored 66%. When I tried to bring the discrepancy to their attention, they never acknowledged it. They simply obfuscated and ignored. I sent countless messages over WEEKS trying to reason with a company that was clearly not interested in reason or respect. It’s not the way to treat a paying customer of years. Just beware: if you ever have a problem, you will be belittled, ignored, and receive a lot of automated pre-scripted responses that do NOT resolve anything... I will not reward this type of shameful conduct with any more of my money. I regret supporting them from the start.

Support Is Severely Lacking. I have use this app now for just over one year. After reporting one support problem it took over a week to get the support issue elevated to get a relevant response. But in the middle of that another problem arose. Instead of answering that problem they merged the two support reports into one which was only the second problem and waited three days to give me a response to that one which was just another question indicating they did not read my support question. After one week I am trying to get them to separate that to support questions and give me an answer on each one. If you get this application just assume it’s going to take a week or two to get any relevant responses to your questions.

Exactly what you want it to be. This app is awesome, very worth the subscription. I am newly back on the dating scene and wanting to keep a little bit of distance meeting new people. I used the free trial and got hooked more or less immediately - text notifications are fast, inbound and outbound call quality are great. My only minor complaint is that messages received after you hit the cap of 20 (sent AND received) in the trial are lost, for good. Was hoping they’d be held and then released once I subscribed. It would be super awesome to have a grace period to subscribe within before they’re deleted for good. Since subscribing though everything comes through great! Really love it!

DO NOT USE if selling things. I have an out of state number for my cell that much of my network uses. I live in a different state and wanted a number that folks could call if they were interested in buying items I have for sale. Call does not ring through to my phone and will not even ring through the app with the app open. AVOID. This app cannot be trusted if others are trying to reach you. I found out through a local friend and business owner that buyers were calling the number listed and it was just busy. Who knows how many potential buyers had this same thing happen. I am BEYOND IRRITATED. This app had ONE JOB. It fails. Edit: developer response mentioned an "account problem" Nope. Paid in full by month via iOS app store. 4.99/month for a phone app that has one job and failed. DO NOT rely on this app for critical communications.

Great purchase, well worth the money. Very reliable. Very user-friendly. I want to head and purchased a yearly subscription. It is cheaper than any other second phone line application out there. You can’t be $30 a year. The main feature I like about this app is the fact that it has call forwarding. And a call that goes to my normal phone number reroute to this phone number. I’ve also been giving people this phone number to call me on so I can keep my personal phone for my family and emergencies. You also have the ability to change your number if you need to. I’m very happy with my purchase. I’ve been researching a good call forwarding application all day and have decided on this one. I made a perfect choice, don’t hesitate just go ahead and buy this and try it. Thanks to the team who made this application, it is extremely useful and well-made. Thank you.

Great product great customer service. Anytime submitting an issue to Hush customer service the turnaround time has been Within 15 to 30 minutes tops and their response also includes a Solution to the current issue that was reported. The only thing I would ask to be changed is text message alerts with self-destruct timers. 1- timer cannot be based on the sender a) it but must be based on the receiver opening the message then the timer should initiate. b). The current process initiates based on when sender sets the timeframe 1) the sender must then call the end-user and let them know there’s a self-destruct time frame read it before it’s gone. 2) otherwise the receiver would have no knowledge of the actual message being sent because it probably has disappeared if not read it within the time frame configured by sender. Ie: sender sets the time for 1 minute to self-destruct and the receiver, received the notice 2 minutes later thus there will not be a message any longer within the receivers inbox but a badge indicator will still be shown. (what badge indicator goes to message is completely unknown)

Big Sucker. The app itself isn’t bad but the people behind it are not honest. At least twice I bought a phone number through the credit I purchased then I receive notice that due to issues with the phone company my number would have been suppressed but I would receive a some sort of credit to repurchase another number. This happened at least twice and during the process I always got less than what I originally purchased. Furthermore, there is the annoyance I can no longer provide a phone number to anyone because it can be taken away anytime. I had an exchange of emails regarding the issue and I did not find the staff friendly, cooperative or customer service oriented in any regard. On the contrary they were very defensive. A fraud and totally unreliable. NOT RECOMMENDED. LOOK ELSEWHERE.

DECEPTIVE. yes, I know writing a title in all caps is obnoxious but I think this needs to be seen. Quite simply, Hished offers a certain amount of minutes but they actually charge you by the call, not by the minute. So when I got somebody’s voicemail and hung up immediately – which was a 3 second call - I was charged a full minute. when I brought this to their attention I was told that this is how it’s done, which is not only poor customer service but completely untrue – I worked in TelCo for many years and I know that billing is done in 6 second increments. They attempted to rectify this by adding 75 minutes and specified that this was a one time thing. That’s not even close to good enough with regard to the number of additional minutes or the fact that their offering is deceptive.

This App WAS good until the last update.. I have using this app for over a year and it was pretty reliable for me until the last major update. After the update I lost a few contacts, couldn’t save new contacts, and in the text message the name of the contact does not show on the telephone number. This makes it hard to know who you are texting or responding too when you receive a message. I emailed support several time about this issue on to get generic responses stating “we are working on it” or the support ticket gets closed out as if it was completed. Smdh Until the update this app was solid but needed a few updates but it has gotten worse in my opinion. I am considering moving to another app but some many have my hushed number it will take a while to convert numbers.

Nice. Got this app not long ago with unlimited talk/text has to be about a week or 2 now. Tried changing/updating a contact picture to something new..but for some reason wont let me. Every time I change it, after clicking save the spring load appears making it seem it’s working but reverts back to the old pic. Also had a call drop in the middle of a conversation. Was no biggie was able to explain to the person on the other phone through text. But just a heads up. Also I’ve thought about deleting & reinstalling the app but don’t want to lose the phone number I have or contacts, that would just be more frustrating. Other than that good job! Seems to work just as I was hoping.

Very Handy App with Good Support. Have been using Hushed for a few months now, primarily for privacy purposes. I use my Hushed number when asked by someone or organizations that I’m not sure I want to have my real number knowing that if I start to receive too many unwanted calls or texts I can just delete my number and start over with a new number. I recently contacted Hushed’s email support with a fairly complicated question about using Hushed when traveling overseas and using a VPN. I was quite pleased with the quality and speed of the response particularly in light of it being a holiday weekend. That said, when one has an urgent problem even the best email support can be frustratingly slow. A chat support option would be helpful.

I should have listened to bad reviews. I read the bad reviews of this app but thought “oh, that won’t happen to me!” Wrong. It started out with me texting people and not realizing they weren’t receiving my texts. I could receive texts, though. Then I found I couldn’t dial out. The same thing happened to me a couple times, but I did get customer service to eventually fix it. Now, after not using the app for a few months, I had a couple phone calls, sent out about a half a dozen (identical) text messages and received some text messages and the same thing happened to me again. I really didn’t think 6 messages would trigger their “this is a spammer” filter, and I’m not spamming people. This time, when contacting CS about it I got the “ We reserve the right to change, suspend, remove, or disable access to our services at any time without notice “ message along with “ The account mentioned has been suspended indefinitely to prevent further risks towards burdening our network, service, and its users.” I was not using the service in a burdensome way, unless just using it at all is “burdensome”. I paid for a year of service and got less than half that. It’s very disappointing. I don’t want everyone I talk to having my main number, but Hushed seems like a very poor solution for that. Don’t make my mistake, find a different app or service.

awesome app!! Still works wonderfully for me. - Also I want to know what. was said in response to my review hahaha I made a review saying so far it’s been great but it appears to have disappeared when I attempted to give the app a 5 star rating again. I made a super brief review saying I recently started using it and so far it is great. I got a notification saying the developers responded to my review so I was like - sweet! That’s what’s up! What could they have said!? I gotta know! Hahaha but I couldn’t find it anywhere… But now after trying to locate it a little too proactively I can’t even find my original 5-star review that the developers responded to… Is there any way I could still see what the developers said. I’m still very curious. Either way - awesome app!! Still works wonderfully for me.

Mixed Feelings. I have used this app for about two years and used to really love it - it is the perfect way to organize communication with my students’ parents in a way that’s from my phone but also a helps me keep that communication a little more private and organized. The texts and contacts work well, and you can even attach pictures. Sometimes calls seem to go straight to voicemail, but outgoing calls are easy to place. I unfortunately had a really bad experience where, for a month, I was logged out of my app (even though it was during a year I’d paid for already). 3 emails to customer service were ignored for weeks, and during that time I missed calls and texts for work. When I tried to submit a help request through the App Store, it said that my account had been blocked. After one more email, a really helpful tech person finally responded and was able to help me log back in. All my contacts were still there, luckily! The tech person was able to extend my number to make up for the inconvenience and check on the security based on where the app was used - that was an awesome response! I’m really grateful that I eventually received help and can use the app again! In general, it has worked well for the past two years. I hope this past month (and the long delay in getting help) were just an exception - I hope to keep using this app in the future!

FOLLOW UP REVIEW CUSTOM SERVICE. I wrote a 1 star review for this company due to the support service not having a 1-800 number or a chat line for issue. They only have email contact and my issues was that I forgot my login information. After numerous emails and a bad review on here within minutes I received an email with the information I needed and this allowed me to get back to selling cars. Name of the person was Hanna so thank you. Also make sure you keep a record of your bill and if there is an issue just send them a screenshot so they know your the account holder and they will fix it. Thank you. Also their privacy policy is much better then others. Some of the other voip numbers track everything. I believe hushed so far as one of the best policy for privacy

Terrible app, privacy issues, locks your paying account out arbitrarily. I had to send a text to a group of contacts but since hushed doesn’t have a group text feature I was forced send the same message individually. They said it’s burdening their network and spam so they locked me out. I also suspect they read and record all your text messages and that’s how they categorized it as spam so don’t send any private info through their network. Also don’t pay for one year subscription because they will lock you out arbitrarily without even telling you why and they will not refund you. They will just attribute it to their terms and conditions which basically allows them to do anything they want. I tried this app and definitely will not recommend to anyone that wants privacy, consistency, and actually getting what you pay for.

Used for 2+ years. I used this for two plus years, it was really great for separating work (I run my own strictly-platonic cuddle business), giving number to tinder dates when I was still unsure about them, and also for when I meet new people and I don’t want them to have my long time cell#. I also use it when I travelled, it helped having a local number for Uber when I was abroad. Recently, my account was blocked and customer service has not responded with a reason why. I really did enjoy this app, it made me feel safer in my dating life as well as made traveling really convenient as well. Before being blocked, I recently began to receive calls from Spanish speaking telemarketers although I never used this number when signing up for sites. I’m giving 3 stars because it really is a great service, but removing 2 because the inconvenience of losing important numbers there. It’s my fault for not saving the numbers, I just really didn’t see my account being blocked coming. I wish there was a way to retrieve my call/text logs at the very least. Edit: THEY SAY TO SPEAK WITH SUPPORT SND THEN SUPPORT DOESNT RESPOND TO THE EMAIL. BACK TO ONE STAR.

Fantastic. Absolutely love this app. It has everything I need and more Highly recommended

Unreliable and abysmal service. My Hushed number stopped working for a couple of weeks due to some technical issue at their end. Was not given any warning. Extremely disappointing.

Amazing. I love how you get to talk to people that your inspired by😊❤️

Address Verification??. Can't make a call with a German number despite verifying address multiple times.. Sad!!

Would wide app. I live in Australia and the app looks great but I am not able to use it as it's limited and australia is out

4/5. I love hushed but sometimes my entries don't come through but yeah :)

Highly disappointed. This app was working fine until this morning I got logout and can no longer access my account. Are you refunding my money back or your going to fix my account?

Not accepted by social media. The won’t accept this number for social media. This is bs and a scam I want my money back

Burner. Was using Burner app in Australia to get FB. Just found out it’s not a phone anymore but a text app. Hushed is def a phone app I can use

Doesn’t work in Australia. Claims 60+ countries, only works in the US and Canada

Inaccurate Description. Downloaded it to try “Free for 7 days” as described but there is no option for a free trial unless you supply payment details

Use “Cover Me” instead - it actually works. Hushed is by far the biggest joke in the world of Apps - not one mobile number with sms in Australia for over a Year!!! Just a total SCAM ... if there was a negative scale it would be -5 stars

Never win. I never win the janoskians hushed events and when I get entires it takes for ever to receive them but a part from that it's a good app

Hushed. I loved the app hushed as it allowes celebs to get in contact with there faves

Amateur app. The only app I have ever rated. Terrible. Took my money twice without giving me my purchases. Didn't allowed me to extend a number but still used my 5$ credits. Support takes 3days to get back to you.

All incoming calls go to voicemail. Any incoming call is directly forwarded to voicemail. What’s the use of having a phone number if it can’t receive calls?

Needs work. It doesn't give me any entries when I download an app😡

Great. Customer service is great, responds immediately. Although there's still room for improvement in the app, but it's very useful. I do hope they can extend expired numbers.

Doesn't work that well. Tried the app. Caller ID works, but unfortunately, the microphone does not work, which means the person you call cannot hear you at all. Disappointing.

Caution!. They cancelled a number I paid for in advance prior to the term ending. I was running a business off the number with significant advertising investment that was wasted. They also claim you can port the number out, but they don’t provide customer ID numbers that every service provider requires to port the number. Customer service did not help.

Great app!. Awesome app, easy to use and very affordable!

great!. what more to say! awesome!

DID NOT RECEIVE THE NUMBER I PAID FOR. I paid for a number that lasts 7 days and the purchase went through on my end but I still have not received the number and it’s upsetting as I have used the app before and it worked perfectly. I would like to get a new number or a refund back in full.

A-M-A--ZINGO!!. Delivers what all it promises!

Hush. It's a good opportunity to talk to stars

Only covers four countries. Did not see the supposed 60 available countries...

love. This app is amazing and you get a chance to talk to people you look up too!

HUSH ... 👍🏽. Tell everyone how good this is and don't be told to 'hush' about that ‼

Love it. This app is amazing. I can receive a phone call and other prizes from my favourite celebrities. It's amazing.

Great App. It seems like a really really great app but I'm still not sure if it's a scam or not yet since I only just got it then.

Great service — makes work easier…. Great to separate work from personal. Hushed makes it easier. Good voice quality and functionality. Just wished they still offered numbers outside US, Canada and UK.

Earning points. I can't get the entries I've earned and it's really annoying

Very helpful. And quick to resolve any issues and concerns

Excellent app. Hushed is brilliant. It's so easy to set up and use. And it is incredibly useful for setting up phone numbers around the world. I love it and highly recommend it!

FIX IT.. It won't let me get entries unless I watch a video?! Please FIX IT!

Great. It is a great app if u like to prank call people

Misleading. They advertise a free 3 day trial period, but don’t mention that the trial period is only available in North America....

Fantastic app. 5 star customer support!

Do not trust they take your money. I downloaded this app and paid for use of a phone number for 7 days. I turned off automatic top ups but after 7 days they still deducted money from my account and the phone number was cancelled and I received no credits. Total scam do not download!

Over rated and over priced. If you are anywhere other than USA or Canada, the pricing doesn't make any sense. To extend the number is US$11 Which is almost AU$16.5/month. All you get is $1 credit! That's not the worst bit. I got a number 2 days. Haven't given it out to anyone at all. But, 2 calls from unknown numbers already. When I call back- numbers are not in service. The hallmarks of a call centre cold call. This is the very thing you want to avoid with a 'burner' number. Pointless!!

What a gyp!. Up front cost + pay by the minute = SMS NOT SUPPORTED?...!

Fails to deliver. Upon registering, I'm told I've failed to authenticate, as with logging in, changing passwords or even navigating through this app. This app costs nothing... And guess what...? You get what you've paid for it... Absolutely nothing... Thank you for the complete and utter waste of time of downloading your binary ballast...

😍💕. where has this been all my life

Requested a refund. Requested a refund, will update the outcome

Very pleased. Great for what I need.. Got Hushed because I needed a US number while traveling to get text messages. By far the best deal I could find at the time. With the exception of some sites not accepting a virtual number which they clearly state in their welcome message and terms and conditions, I’m ver pleased. It’s doing exactly what I need for it to do for me. Would be great if they started offering Australian numbers.

Did not get my number. Paid for 18 bucks for the 7days nation wide number. Did not get anything at all. Is this a scam ?

The best. This app is the best way to connect to your favourite celebs. I've used this for 3 of my favourite ppl. Damon, Justin and tyde❤️

Scam. It’s a scam, I paid for a week number and lost the money but did not receive a number and still waiting, please the developer send me the number or give me back my money and I need compensation aswell

hushed. great app but won't in Australia sorry me.

Hushed is the James Bond of phone services!. Hushed is a top class act. It has more than exceeded my expectations. Prices are exceptionally superior to the competition. The interface and App presentation are a pleasure to use, cool and sophisticated with many features others haven't a clue about, eg Call forwarding, Dropbox, alternate message responses, plan options etc. Like 007 its secrecy is dependable. It's brilliant, effective and so much cheaper to change numbers around; like having an unlimited number of Miss Moneypennys at Your Service instead of just one. Hushed is the "Dr Yes" of Bond experiences. I know, cos I'm a doctor and I have been using phones since the 1st Bond film, "Dr No". Enjoy the sounds of discretion.

Great app. Enjoying using, convenient and cost effective

Great App. Has had its issues but I will say that their support response is rapid and efficient!

Can’t log in. They logged me out and I can’t even log in again even after putting the right login credentials. Contacted support countlessly and not response yet. Meanwhile I have an active subscription. This is beyond insane. That is my business line and customers can’t even reach me

Unreliable. I never know what messages are getting through and which aren’t being received. Save your money.

Read the one star reviews. They delete the negative new reviews. If you go unlimited they will claim in a month or less that you've broken the tos by burdening their service from over use and terminate your account. Never had an issue till I tried to save money and didn't overuse my account. Don't waste your money.

« Ok » en forfaits, pas adapté pour payer à la minute. Ok si vous voulez des forfaits, terrible si vous voulez payer à la minute. Vous pouvez pas convertir les crédits en forfaits, donc n’achetez pas de crédits si c’est pour utiliser l’app moins de 20 minutes dans les 2 prochaines semaines.

Does it work. I like the look but wanted a quick question can it work on iPod ? And if it does it doesn’t require a internet connection right ?

#1 Communication. Five Star reviews

Amazing app. I’ve been using my hushed number for over a year now! Amazing app and very convenient

Great app. Love this app helps me keep my number anonymous when I don't really want to give it out but have trouble saying no

👍🏽. Hushed is awesome. My friend in jail can call me real cheap!!!

BIG SCAM. Please don't use any services from hushed. It’s big SCAM and you waste your money and time. I have purchased 1 month subscription and taken second phone number. After using fews days they suspended my service without any reason and showing me as violating sone terms and conditions but not providing me exact reason. Now, I don't get any response and money back from them. Please stay away from this SCAM.

can’t text back usa numbers though i have a usa number. on latest software on iphone 13 if i try to text back i get “error. this number plan doesn’t support international texting” i bought the groupon lifetime plan now i’m getting cheated.

Worst app ever. Basically just took my money for a subscription and I was never able to make a call or text because it says I have insufficient funds

Garbage app. I’ve sent 2 messages and was flagged and subsequently had my account removed for a violation of spamming? Save your $ and get a different/better app.

DOESN’T WORK!. App doesn’t work. Text messages appeared to be sent but was not received by recipient. Call also doesn’t work. Waste of money. Called support but no reply. DO NOT BUY!

Very good service. I find hushed to be great as a second secure number! Works well with iphone integrates well! Only complaint is the incoming txt mssgs the font is hard to read as its not contrasted with white backround.. would be better if the bubble was a good contrast colour..

Faulty interface. The app stopped working a few days ago to place phone calls with no way to get support to find out what the issue is - just error #20103. Waste of time and money.

Lost business number. Bought a business number - lost it now. No calls are being received. Forget password does not work.

Issues with incoming calls. I am unable to hear anything when I attend an incoming call. Connected with support team multiple times but no use. T won’t recommend this app to anyone!

Amazing. We got hushed through a business transaction and then ended up buying a personal phone number as well. We are digital nomads, so move around a ton! Having a phone number we can use anytime anywhere has been absolutely incredible! Would highly recommend. It solves so many problems and is so cheap!

Warning warning they check your messages. Big warning This app is not anonymous and they check your messages . I bought one month and within one week my account got banned . Ask yourself this how can it be banned unless they see your messages or phone calls . They said i got banned for terms of services now how the heck can I break their terms if they don’t check into your messages . Not that I was doing anything wrong but for sure they check your messages . On my kids life this app is not anonymous stay away

SCAM. Never buy this it’s an absolute scam. I almost spent 80 $ on this scam and I’m regretting it big time. Logs you off without any notice and then you can never log in

Don’t do it!!!!. Paid for a year wasted money !! One call worked right after that any number I call says , the destination number u called is out of reach !!! It’s not u made call from another phone

App privacy. Guys, I will pay you to use the app, just please make a better App privacy. Just don’t collect all this info, unnecessary.

Hushed. Great function, but needs email included

An ok app. Still don’t like the app as it lack proper notifications and iPad app while it’s full screen it doesn’t work landscape mode While I don’t recommend this service for iPad. If your on iPhone. You should be fine but don’t rely only on notifications as they are bugged as of writing this review

Scam - Be aware. After a few uses, they'll shut down your account saying you're a spammer (which I'm not) and steal your credits. I shifted to TextMagic.

Don't use!. Everyone, please be cautious as your account may get suspended without reason, and you won't be able to log in！

Lifetime number can be expired.. Scam

Doesn’t work with verification codes. Doesn’t work with verification codes.

Horrible customer service. Deleted account randomly on two seperate occasions. Basically stole my money and wouldn't even let me get my contacts back after they deleted my account without notice.

Pretty Good MultiUse App.. Can’t find much to complain about for a VoIP service. It’s fully anonymous and easy to sign up and use right away.

iPad version doesn’t even work in the normal landscape mode. Most people use their iPads in landscape mode, whether it’s for watching movies for typing with a keyboard. At first, I was glad to see that Hushed has an iPad app, only to be disappointed after I learned that it’s useless because it forces your iPad into portrait mode and doesn’t allow you to rotate it.

Great! The best one out there. My number was reinstated. Thanks! Helps with a lot of my calls as I’m a digital nomad now.

No good. I paid all the time and I was using it fine. Then one day the app just stopped working and I couldn’t even log in to my account. It wouldn’t even send me a new password so I had to start all over. My monthly payments went to waste.

nice. good app

It’s the best phone app I’ve used. I’ve used a variety of different phone apps over the years and Hushed is hands down the best one. Sure there are technical glitches from time to time with reception but overall, it’s a great communication tool (I use it as a business line), it works consistently well and the customer service support is excellent.

Another Stack Social Dud. Lifetime subscription purchased through Stack Social. SMS didn’t work and the number expired. Wasted time and money. 0 stars

Scam. Doesn’t work, they’ll block you out after you pay.

Most Excellent Tech Support!. I had an issue with access to my number for a bit so I contacted tech support and they had the problem resolved within a few hours. It’s comforting to know that they are there for me if I need them, without delay. Impressive!!

Not happy. I use this app all the time on my iPod touch and the last update broke it. It closes right after opening it. Tried redownloading and restoring my device but doesn’t work, pls fix or I’ll have to cancel, worked great up until now. UPDATE i’ve tried to contact you Mike like 10 times but there’s something wrong with your mailbox and it’s not letting emails go through, it’s pretty bad when you tell me to contact you and there’s no way to

Doesn't always recieve SMS. For 2fa codes it's best to call your hushed number since hushed doesn't always get texts

nicely done. a weebhook api will be perfect for receiving sms

They canceled my subscription. Like title said . They canceled my lifetime subscription without noticed. I can’t even contact them for help. Terrible experience with Hushed. Unreliable

Solid app. Recommend.. Solid app. Recommend.

Customer Tech Support. Once again I must applaud Hushed C/S Tech Support in their quick effective attention to addressing the issues I have encountered, highly recommended! Thx Hushed!

Truly great service!. This soft phone service is really excellent. Meets all my business needs and is affordable even for a Canadian.

The best. Tha k you

Great. Used for a while, great independent phone number for call and text

A Quality Service That Delivers What They Promise. HUSHED was exceptional in its immediacy and clarity in texting, voice mail and actual secured calling. I had a technical question and their email response was within the hour, so Support surpasses my regular carrier. Attachments send easily. I wish they supported videos in text msgs. Occasionally a long text will have a missing segment but I’m satisfied with what the currently provide. I can recommend this service to a colleague or friend without reservation.

Find another Service. I do not recommend this company and here’s why you shouldn’t use it. First of all, you cannot get texts from companies sending authorization codes so don’t use this number for Facebook, Twitter, instagram, your bank, etc.. They don’t tell you this until you ask and then they tell you. Secondly, it takes 10 rings before your voice mail takes the call. Many people drop off by this time. There is no way to change this. Third, the service went down this month completely for many numbers. They were not proactive and did not tell their customers. I didn’t know until I realized I hadn’t received calls for a few days for my business. I contacted them and they told me it could be up to 10 days before the number could be restored. There was NO way to forward my number to another number. They offered me a new number but if my customers didn’t know it, it was futile. So I canceled and have had to spend quite a few times changing things over — including Google to get this number, deleted. Use another service.

Need Help Accessing my Account.. Hello there, I purchased the 30 days worldwide plan and subscribed for 60 days, it was working fine until a couple of days ago I realize that I can’t have access into signing in my account. Every time I try to sign into my account, it keeps saying request failed, unauthorized: 401.. I don’t know what it means but I’ll really need help accessing my account. It’s frustrating...

Completely Unreliable. Phone numbers from this app are completely unreliable as voice numbers. In 6 months I have had maybe 3 calls be clear and audible. The rest have been crackly and robotic, and I've to call the person back from my main line--completely defeating the purpose of paying for a second line. These calls have been made in many areas, in 3 different states, from a new iphone, so it's not just my connection. Also, I noticed in a recent updates Hushed removed the call quality indicator from the upper right corner, probably because they don't want to alert you to how bad it is. Stay away unlesss you only need text messaging!

Doesn’t work consistently, poor tech support. When the app works it’s great but it keeps going to voicemail automatically unless the app is open. Tech support is terrible. They make no attempt to understand the issue. Instead they give you standard suggestions about basic settings. The favourite response is to blame the issue on network latency. This is a good one because they know most people don’t understand what that is so they just accept it. But I checked my network latency and it is fine. I’m about to ditch this app if they can’t fix this problem.

It works for what I need.. Me and my girl are real friendly people who like meeting new friends. But not everyone we meet are friendly at all and some even like to cause issues. So until we get to know these new friends we give them this number to communicate with us. It really takes a little of the stress out of it all. Now if we were meeting people like crazy and has to communicate allot with a bunch of new friends I would probably try a free one, but this one works good for what we need it for.

I need help. I’ve been using the app for months now and it’s been awesome I create accounts for business purposes and recently precisely over two weeks now I’ve been stuck. I don’t get any free trial again even after using a different email to signup nothing. I had subscribed already to a number, now I logged in with my second work email to get a new free trial to claim and subscribe yet nothing. I’m constantly been asked to subscribe I used my wife’s phone and there’s no free trial anywhere despite she has never used the app before. I just want to completely cancel my subscription.

Excellent service & value. Hushed offers excellent service & value as a second line on your existing mobile platform, choose your location to customize appearance, set up voicemail and receive/send text. Only issue: does not support “international texting” for which I still am not clear of the meaning, as I was responding to my local doctor’s office...otherwise seamless service.

Having problem with my subscription. I’ve make one year unlimited calling and texting and I’ve used the service for barely two months and now my text and calls are not going through. My call keeps bouncing back and my recipient don’t receive my messages. What’s really happening?? I need help

Worst texting App. I was logged out of my account for no reason and I have been trying to log in with the information I use to sign up which as been unsuccessful. I emailed support for number of times they keep sending me link that’s not working . If you guys can’t log me back into my account then I will need a refund

FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE/TECH SUPPORT. I have used HUSHED to log and record text exchanges for almost 3 years now. Being able to integrate and download these text logs is crucial to providing documentation to support claims/accusations made in an ongoing, horrible child custody battle. I recently had a huge issue and reached out to the support team to help me. They were able to resolve it very quickly and saved me hours of stress! I highly recommend this APP! A+++++

THIS IS SCAM APP. DONT USE IT!!!. I don’t know why I wasn’t able to get into my account anymore. I set up an account with hushed some hours back which I was tryna use the number to Communicate with my family and friends to organize my text. Suddenly I was logged out after some hours of set up with a monthly unlimited subscription thou It’s was a mistake and I create a new account trying to restore my previous subscription to my new account but they’re telling me I don’t have subscription available to be restored. This is scam app don’t use it. The support won’t reply to you even not tryna help you.

Great Support Experience. Initially, I thought I was going to have to try and get a refund on an offers I purchased through a Mashable ad. I contacted support, expecting days of waiting and/o back and forth to get the issue resolved. To my surprise, support responded quickly and resolved my issues with setting up account. As a result, I purchased a second number I probably don’t even need. We will see how things go from here.

Updates keep making worse. You know I’ve had this app a couple years and every update seems to make it worse. Now, I can’t have a picture next to the list of texts. Only when I click a specific text to I see the pic which defeats the purpose of having a pic to match the list of text instead of just a number. Also, the send receive pics take sooooooo long to load. Up and video almost never had sound. Honestly I’m not sure if I’m keeping this app anymore. It was good, but progressively gotten worse over time.

Perfect for business. I have been using hushed for a few months now and it's worked great for my line of business. The functionality is superior to the other 3 apps I use. The only issue I have is the text is broken up into segments when it gets too long. I don't know if it shows up on the receivers phone that way though. I hope it doesn't because it doesn't look as professional. The app is great though and I absolutely love it!!

Does what I need plus world-class customer service. In a world of mobile telephony Hushed provides me with a land line number. I found that when traveling to certain countries the application wasn't working. Upon contacting Customer Service via the app I was quickly informed that the app was being blocked, something that I never would have figured out on my own. By turning on my VPN, Hushed was back in action. I was impressed by the speed of the response and the quick diagnosis.

Notification Issues. I’ve liked the app so far, but am starting to run into issues. I do not receive notifications when someone texts even though my settings are all correct. Sometimes it will show a number on the app icon which lets me know a new message is there, but doesn’t make an actual tone. In another instance, there wasn’t a number on the icon until I opened the app, then saw 2 texts from the previous day that I missed. This is frustrating and I won’t renew my subscription unless things are fixed.

works well so far. Very happy with this app so far. It is working just as described. I was able to select an alternate local number and send texts without using my regular phone number. Incoming calls are routed to my cell phone with a clear banner that it is being forwarded by Hush. The only minor issue is that missed calls count as 1 min. against your allotment (even when the call does not go to voicemail).

Hushed stole from me. I was actually on hushed when I paid for a one year subscription unlimited.. Then two days later I was locked out of my account when I try to login and it says I have no account with them.. Up till now my problems which with hushed haven’t been solved and my money is gone!! Sure it’s for a short term use don’t try to pay a year

Does what it says it will. The best thing about Hushed is it gives you a ton of choices about how much time you need and how much you want to spend. Right now I’m only going to need it for a couple of months, so I didn’t buy a lot of time. I’m a teacher, so when I call patents in the evening I don’t want them seeing my personal number. Next school year I’ll probably still use Hushed, but I would have to look at their payment plans. Like I said, they offer A LOT of different, flexible plans. Its like having one of those old prepaid “burner” phones.

LIVID with this service. I’m in social work, and attempted to use this as my work phone number. I’ve had this number and app about 3 weeks and for about the last week haven’t been able to send or receive texts or phone calls. I contacted customer service and was told someone would get back to me within 48 hours, which means I’ll go another 48 hours possibly missing contact from clients, police, schools, child protection workers, attorneys, guardians etc. Diagnostics are all fine, subscription is paid and up to date. There is no reason for this, and going another 48 hours potentially missing these communications is very concerning.

Refer AffinityClick to your state’s attorney general. AffinityClick operates Hushed and is domiciled in Ontario, Canada. Hushed provides 2nd numbers for calling and texting, until it does not. Hushed is not a social media platform. Difficult question: How can Hushed claim you have violated its policy, when it can only be used for private calls and messages? The only answer is Hushed is actively monitoring your calls and text messages and deleting users based on the content of private messages. Think about it, there is simply no other way. So, a foreign company is engaged in espionage against private U.S. citizens. This is a major issue. Please file a complaint with your state’s attorney general to have the application banned from your state. I will be doing this. Texas and Florida’s AG will be very happy to do so to protect their citizens and those are 2 very large markets. I will be contacting both. If you have a reasonable AG, please do the same and let’s eliminate this menace.

App issues. Hello what going on , I paid 1 years subscription and now they just logged me out without me being able to go into the app with my password and when I try to reset the password, they are not sending me any link into my account So what going on? Because I need my account back , why will I just being logged out for nothing smh

Always there for OTP codes. One of the terrific uses of this app is to receive without condition anywhere in the world when you have access to the Internet is the ability to receive OTP codes from your bank or other services. It means you don’t have to have your home SIM card on/installed incurring international roaming charges.

This app is totally worth it!. So I purchased 4 numbers from Hushed and everything was totally okay. Then a problem arose where I was unable to receive or send messages and I contacted the customer support. Instead of solving my problem, they deleted my account without giving me any prior notice deeming it a violation of policy or whatever. Edit: I reached out to Heather@Hushed and she was amazing! She helped me get my account back in a day! Amazing customer support! Totally would recommend Hushed!

Fraud. I purchased a “lifetime” subscription for this app years ago from groupon. I would use the app when I wanted over the years and it was average at best. Then when I went to log in this last time they cancelled my account because I had not used it in 6 months. They changed the terms of use without giving me notice now that they can afford to cancel subscriptions. They did not give me a new number or refund. Groupon did not even give me some measly groupon bucks. Nothing worse than a company turning their back on who help them succeed. How does a lifetime subscription expire?

Awesome service. I have tried a few different VoIP phone services. Hushed is one of the best and the only I still used. They even ported in a number I didn’t want to lose when I closed down my Cox phone service. It took less than a week and was in my hushed account without n issue. I highly recommend hushed for all your phone needs.

Great pricing and service. Definitely have to give this app a 5 start. The service and pricing is great. Their app wasn’t working for a few weeks, but I always had the confidence that they would eventually get it back to working. Now it does!! When it wasn’t working, it was VERY easy to use call routing. So using this app/number was never an issue since I was still able to utilize this app/number. I would rather pay for the year than monthly. A million thanks!!

Worst App Ever. I have been using them for over a year now and all of a sudden I was blocked from accessing my account. I sent them an email trying to find out why I was told my number was indefinitely suspended. All my accounts, bank that I had used to connect to the number all gone. I sent them another email trying to figure out why because I don’t use my number for anything illegal. Just to receive codes to log into my account till today I have received no reply. I would honestly advise you to stay away. If you can use another app or go to the US networks and try to get a pay as you go plan. Never again will I use them. I’ve really been let down by them

Why my hushed account was blocked. Hello have been using hushed for two days now I really enjoyed the service and all but today someone said he texted me but I didn’t get the text so I thought maybe it’s internet issue, to my surprise I was logged out and I haven’t been able to log in back to the account since. Pls what can I do to get my account back

Simple and Works as Advertised. I’ve used Hushed for several weeks now and I’m delighted with it! I enjoy the simple interface, good call quality, texting capability, and the fact that it can access my contacts. I work for a non-profit and I’m in the field much of the time. Using Hushed, I don’t have to expose my personal phone number when I make and receive calls for work. And, unlike my boss, I don’t have to carry around a second phone!

Excellent Service & Great Pricing. I’ve use Hushed for years now. I’ve tried other services, but Hushed is by far my favorite. Easy to purchase new numbers, navigate and use. Customer service has always been very friendly, fast at responding, and accommodating. I’ve used one of my Hushed numbers as my business number for over 6 years now without any issues. Definitely worth trying if you haven’t yet.

Can’t Burn Numbers. Get Burner Instead. As one might guess, these apps are only good if you can burn the number. If not then you’re stuck with just another fixed number that you can get harassed on once it’s exposed and so what was even the point? Looked all over this app and will have to come to one of two conclusions. 1) There is actually no way to burn a number once it’s been over exposed and you’re getting spammed (which makes this thing pointless) OR 2) You can actually burn your number but that critical feature is so hopelessly buried inside the app that you need to consult engineering to find it. Either way, deal breaker. Cancelling.

Bad app and bad customer support.. This is not a good app. Been using them for months now going to a year for work and keeping in touch with my fiancé. Thought they were good but it seems they can just suspend and remove your account for no reason. My account still login but then logout automatically. And then shows an error message which I screenshot and sent via email to their customer service but seems like they have a bot answering their email. There’s was no technical explanation as to why. I really hope they would be different but i think they are the worst I have seen so far. So beware!

Unreliable - Interrupted Service All the time. Hushed seem like a great option, it offer unbeatable pricing and service for a number of a countries. However in the last two weeks, my account has been “restricted” for no reason. I emailed support and both times they said it was a mistake and it was fixed but don’t explain what the issue was. Another time my account was temporarily deactivated for a violation of terms of Service with no explanation. I don’t spam call or message anyone. I don’t use hushed for cold calls either. It has potential but I think they are going through a lot of growing pains. I’m going to stick to burner app

Great service, fantastic customer service. I am a big supporter of Hushed. I recently tried it out and loved the features and performance. In fact, I ported two phone numbers from a different VoIP service into Hushed. Not only does Hushed work as advertised, but their customer service is amongst the best I’ve encountered using ANY app. Quick, friendly, and knowledgeable, the support staff answered my questions perfectly.

New update and features! WOOOOWWW!!. With the newest update, this app is everything and anything we want or need it to be. If we could change the name it would be great. But in all actuality it’s good enough. Being able to reuse old numbers is also a bonus!! It used to be a pain to let a number expire without remembering. But now, it’s all good and working. Gotta admit, I’m a fan and the only reason this isn’t a five star app, is the inability to change to name of the app, or perhaps having an alternative use such as a calculator, etc. for discreetness. But other than that, great update!!

Garbage. Horrible. After a month I still can not receive inbound calls. The phone does not ring and the calls go straight into voicemail. (Yes, I’ve checked the settings.) For outbound calls I have to use a moronic call forwarding work around. Texting is the only thing that is acceptable. Customer “support” and technical “service” has been a joke. I exchange dozens of emails with Hushed reps who admit there is a problem and they are working on it. Meanwhile they charge me full cost of the “service”. I need to hang on to this number for now unfortunately. But I’m going to dump Hushed as soon as possible and my complaint to the Better Business Bureau is forthcoming.

Hushed has the best customer support I have ever dealt with period!. I had been using the app for over a year and I never logged out of it. When I accidentally logged myself out I discovered the email i had used was deleted and I had no Idea what my password was. My whole life had been conducted in through hushed that year and I was panicking but customer support for me back in to the app in no time.

Choppy connection. I’ve been using hushed for about 2 years now for my business. Sometimes my clients can hear me but most of the time they say they can’t understand me. It gets really frustrating when you can’t do anything and are on a sales call. I’ve had to switch to my person phone service numerous times to be able to talk and it’s really unprofessional when I have to conduct business that way. Unfortunately I’ve printed business cards using my hushed number before actually trying out the app and went solely on the stars and reviews.

Its a greattt plataform. I used it for work and it absolutely works and comes very handy, both my team and I can see the messages and its overall great. I wish it was uodated more often with bugs and everything cause it dies crash from time to time and also, id love if you could mark messages as unread. Besides that, i love it. Voice messages would be ideal too

Service down for several days. I have been using this app for my small business and didn’t realize the service was down for two days. Never got any email or notification that the calls and texts were not working. Tried to contact support multiple times but the only way to contact support is via email. I have missed several important calls and texts during the six days so far that I have not been able to use the service. Tried contacting support to try to port my number to another company and they did not respond to my request. Very poor customer service and I do not recommend anyone use this for small business.

This App make me sad through the day. This app make me lose a lot of clients, I think it will good more than Google Voice and some other texting numbers. This hushed is so worst. Thou in the first place when I sign up it work perfectly. Now it doesn’t work out all. I can’t make call o can’t text my client I can’t receive messages 😔😭💔

Not reliable. Used before, no problem. This time, ordered and paid for two phone numbers. Keep receiving error message when trying to make calls. Also, can’t receive calls. Second day this has been ongoing. Ordered and paid for the two numbers for two time sensitive audits out of state. Requested refund, and unfortunately never heard back. Deleting app and going to use Burner app instead. Waste of money this time around....2 stars because no issues in past. App hasn’t worked for two days, if refund was provided or support helpful, would’ve been 3 Star.

Good quality but inconsistent. For 7 months I’ve been utilizing this app for business. Some days you can’t call out, like right now. Other days it flawless. They seem to be having a big problem with routing calls, we constantly need to change setting to use the app, two weeks later change it back. This is for the last 3 months. When it works it’s great, wish it worked all the time since I’m paying for a monthly service.

Functionality. Huge upgrade. The app functions very good so far. Highly recommend. I think a nod goes to Apple also for opening up its API and very cool that this app takes advantage of it. Video sharing for me still doesn’t seem to work or if it does what’s the limitations ? Is it on the other end? Androids? Google phone numbers? I think you guys should be really clear what works for what platform. Otherwise huge upgrades here. Love it.

Can’t access my account anymore. This is very frustrating. This isn’t the first time this thing is happening. First I ignored it cause I didn’t had much contact on but this time around on my new account I have many contact which I don’t want to miss. All of a sudden I was lost out from my account after subscribing to 1 month and trying to log on back into my account it keeps saying I should try again later for straight 2 days so I had no option than to hit the FORGET PASSWORD in order to request for a new password. And I was sent a new password but still the problem persist. Saying account can’t be access or whatever.. this doesn’t make sense at all.. can someone HELP ME OUT HERE cause am going crazy with this sudden development..

Great app but needs a couple of improvements. Hushed is great as a second “virtual” line for some customers who tend to call anytime, day or night. I can keep my regular number for my friends and family and filter the rest through the app. However, it would be really awesome if it could sync the contacts from my regular phone directory, including the company field. Some of my contacts are companies only and they appear as “unknown contact” when I have an incoming call. Thanks for taking this into consideration for a future release!!

Block accounts for no reason. I have been using this app and it’s been great. Making calls and texting is top notch. But i don’t understand why I cannot log into my accounts after I made a new purchase. For no reason they sent me emails about putting traffic on their network and there had to suspend my account. Just when i just made a purchase. Now i’m starting to think it’s a scam. Because i don’t know why they will suspended my account when i’m trying to make calls or texts, that is the service they provide so why suspend my account. 🤬🤬🤬

Very Useful App with excellent technical support. I have been using this app for over two years and I found it extremely useful in separating personal from professional communications. With the latest update, I encountered connectivity issues. The tech support staff worked with me for a week to resolve the issue. They were fantastic. Apparently the latest upgrade, unlike prior versions, does not connect while utilizing a VPN connection. Once this was identified, the app works perfectly. The convenience of this app is more than worth the nominal cost.
