User Reviews for Hushed: US Second Phone Number

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!

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.

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.

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?!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!
