Accessibility Comments

this app is very accessible with VoiceOver. All the buttons in this app are labeled and it is very easy to navigate the app as their are no ads or confusing menus at all. This app does not say who sent messages while you are in a conversation. For example, in the native messages app, it would say your iMessage, followed by the message contents. It would then say the other person‘s message followed by the content that they sent. Other than that, I have not seen any other accessibility issues.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Usability

Other Comments

this app works amazing. It is great if you want to text someone without giving out your actual phone number. If you do not upgrade to the paid version, you get a free phone number which is completely random. You would have to have their phone number and text them first. because of this, you cannot use this if you don’t want to give out your actual phone number because most accounts would need a verification code to a phone number. You would have to use a different app for that.

I have questions

Does this work outside of the US? Is it a virtual number, or are these actual carrier numbers? When I looked on the app, they seemed to be carrier numbers and not virtual numbers, which is fine — but if that’s the case, then they probably won’t work outside the US.

I downloaded the app, selected a number, and signed up for the free trial on the App Store. I waited for over an hour for the number to be activated, but nothing happened. Yes, I did get a phone number, but it was a default virtual number and not the one I personally selected. It said “your number is active” and to give it an hour or so to start working — but still nothing.

So do I need to turn off my device, or is there a QR code that needs to be scanned for this to work? I’m looking for something like this, so please let me know. Thanks.

Would love to hear some feedback on this

Hi,

I too am interested in this. Waiting to hear on other users experiences. 🙂

Answers to your questions

I’m not sure about how exactly those phone number were because I do not pay for a phone number. I just use the randomly generated phone number that you get with the free plan. Also, you text through the app. You do not use the Messages app to text using this phone number.
