Talkatone

  This used to be great to have as a backup line, but now, I can't send any text or make any calls. I still receive texts, which is odd, but can't make calls which is primarily why I have it. I tried on a different phone, with the same result. Nothing has changed on the old phone on which I have been using it for years via wifi-only. It's a Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH-L710 with android 4.4.2, and talkatone worked fine on it about 3 weeks ago, but now does not make calls or send texts at all. I try to make a call, but the dialing screen doesn't even come up, it just immediately adds an entry into the call log with 0 seconds of call time. I tried it on another one of my phones, just to see if it would work, and had the same result. I have tried all the usual troubleshooting options (clearing cache, uninstall/reinstall, etc.), cetificate is fine. Another similar program works fine on this phone, so I've isolated it to being a talkatone problem, not a problem with my phone or setup. I hope they get it fixed very soon, this is the first time I've really had a problem, but it's been ongoing for days now. At least 3 - 4 days.

  Paid for Plus, paid for ads to go away, only to have ads replaced with a Talkatone ad that offers to make the ads go away. Then my messages were throttled because Talkatone deemed that I was sending too many outgoing messages too fast. Gee, thanks, Dad! (I was throttled by the time I tapped "send" for the third message!) I'm only keeping the app until my main phone is fixed, then I'm cancelling everything and uninstalling. Great work, team.

  I always recommend to my friends to use Talkatone. I do let them know that it has quite a few bugs but for a free phone, What can you say? Now I do wish that they would fix these bugs: Sound does seem like the call pauses but the majority of the time it does well if you have a good WiFi connection. Lately on the iPhone 11 the ads seem to just jump up in the middle of typing then you have to hit back about 2-3 times. Sounds like your being recorded sometimes. I usually just have to restart the app. I have an old Samsung 4 tablet that I used this on forever. Good product just needs some tweaks.

  Life saver in my time of need. When my phone broke and I was trying to get a new phone, I went through a month period with no working number. I was using an outdated phone, and talkatone was an easy fix to be able to get calls and texts for work. The only thing I didn't like was that I did have to pay to remove ads and receive verification codes for emails and apps, but it was $1.99, so I can't complain too much, however, in earlier versions of this app, this feature was free.

  Iinstalled this app. I tried to sign up after verify a robot got a message saying this "Your version of Talkone is unable to connect. Please upgrade and try again." I am using the new version. How to fix this? Thanks

  This app WAS great because unlike others, it didn't require me to have service and a phone number to set up and use in the first place, and one of the ONLY that didn't. But now, it not notifying me half the time when I get calls or texts. And my ability to make outgoing calls had completely stopped! it just says "unable to complete call currently" or something like that. It could totally be this cheap, POS Android phone somehow. I don't recall this problem on my up phone. My advice: Worth a try.
