Talkatone

I have been with Talkatone for over 10 years. When they initially started, it was a reasonably good service and if you could use it free with limitations, it was very good. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case and if you look at the positive reviews, they are a decade or more old . Their customer service has been in free-fall the past few years with automated replies that blame every fault on fair-use or bad user connections. As a very experienced data systems and comms engineer, I have personally found their fault-finding processes and desire to resolve client issues frustrating if not laughable. At the moment, I have no call service (only text) and it is a struggle to get them to read and understand my emails before they reply. I would not trust Talkatone with any more of my time, sanity or money and, short of a miraculous turnaround, you'd be better off looking elsewhere.

I signed up with Talkatone/Ooma . Their basic service is free and then charge for add-ons. Talk quality was ok at best. I had an assigned VoIP number.
Had a major problem having to re-install app on phone. Received no response from customer service...they have no phone contact available..only email, which they ignore. i now have to find another service and notify everyone of my new number. Major headache.

I subscribed to their service, I paid them money. I posted my assigned phone number on many accounts and for advertising. And without warning they cancelled my number costing me many hours to find another company and go back and change all the phone numbers on all the accounts.
Never Trust or give TalkATone one penny.

This s a great app!! i use this as a backup but thinking about dropping my carrier and their monthly bill.

This app is a life saver! Im younger and i dont want to have to pay monthly just to text and call my friends and family. I have saved up to 168. 40 credits just by using talktone! This is the only thing i request, is to let talktone users send pics to anybody, not just talktone users.

This is a life saver for me, and I'm sure for others. It's an amazing way to stay connected to the people who are closest to me...a godsend

Overall my experience has been a great one and I do have a premium service (I want them to succeed so buying a premium is my part in helping even if it's not much). I have very few problems with this app. Again if it only had push notifications I would be pleased with everything! Now if google adds mms support then talkatone will be an all out mobile!
