This is an update to the review I originally wrote below. The app is NOT reliable!! I have wasted more time emailing back and forth with support because the phone stopped ringing, and calls stopped going to voicemail. It is my only source for a phone. Three emails were wasted as they kept sending me instructions how to force quit the program! I kept saying I had but got the same instructions again. Then they said my wifi router (time capsule) could be blocking their connection so I called Apple Care. They asked if the phone EVER worked. Yes. Then its not the wifi or it would have never worked. Then the lasts time I called (Friday2/6/) I explained everything to the person on the other end who then told me he was just customer support and transferred me to technical support, where I was on hold a long time. I repeated the issue to tech support and then he said he will have to let the programmers know...who of course were not in because they are east coast and I am west coast and they had gone home. I had major frustration and wasted time and they didnt even offer to give my account credit. I called again the next morning and was told they were having a problem where users werent getting calls and it had been fixed. Quit the program and restart it!! GOD!!! Thats what I kept saying and I went four days without calls or messages!! I guess they had to wait for others to complain before they believed me! I would no longer recommend them to anyone and told them if I have more issues I will pay for a Skype or Google Talk number or buy a track phone. So there is my updated review and now here is my original review so you can compare:
Got rid of my cell phone through Verizon (a smart phone) and kept a 2 Gig data package for my Ipad. My bill just went from $103 a month to $30 a month AND I purchased originally $20 of Millitalk minutes just to test it out and now that I use it full time due to no cell I have tons of minute credits left and Ive talked a LOT using the app!! I am pretty satisfied except for three issues:
1) You cannot text multiple people in a group at once--not good, especially when you are giving out your new number.
2) When I open the App it says I am Offline which makes calls go to voice mail. It should ring and be online without having to have the app open all the time.
3) Very important....when updating contact info such as on Paypal or any other place that will send a "confirmation" code via text..you dont get the text which means its not supported..that is a serious flaw!!
Just continue with fixing issues and improving the program and Ill stay with it. Otherwise there is Google Talk or Skype.
