Calls do not come through. People calling me never get an answer. the app never rings. We have tested this a couple of dozen times. I can call them, but they can't call me.
In addition, no sms messages will go through.
It's been going on for a month since I've subscribed, paying in advance for a year. If this isn't fixed, I want my money back.
Also, the 2fa doesn't work with anyone. This was a promising option that is not being delivered. It seems impossible to reach anyone for help.

NOT AS ADVERTISED.
I bought the line. Then I realized that the SMS is disabled, and to restore it, you must complete a form that you cannot complete unless you are a business.

Awful service! Don't buy it!
I was able to call from Curacao to the US but not much more. I can't get inbound or outbound SMS to work, so it is useless for 2FA. When I call the phone2 number from my home landline, I get the call. When I phone from my wife's mobile I consistently get a failed call.
I've tried help lines and went into orbit with a useless AI which repeated the same questions and gave the same incorrect solution. Their live help never called at the appointed time. Their online help is incomplete and incorrect, asking me to select options that I am never offered.
I certainly feel that I was ripped off by this company and urge people not to buy their product.

I feel completely scammed by this…
I feel completely scammed by this company. Its customer service. Its advertising claims. Its business ethics.
I have asked for a refund a half dozen times beginning the same day I purchased the 'lifetime' subscription. I was brushed off with lame excuses.
SMS is not possible with the pro package UNLESS you have a registered business that can be approved with a completed TCR form...whatever the hell that is. My application was rejected so i was out of luck. A fair amount of money down the drain. Hideous customer service. Please don't throw away your $150. like I did.

Hi Jose,
We’re really sorry to hear this. We'd love the chance to understand what went wrong and help make it right. Some early users, especially those who joined before February 2025, were impacted by issues with our previous network provider. That period also coincided with a wave of urgent port-ins from Skype, which delayed response times and led to frustrating experiences for some.
Since then, we've made big improvements—support response times are now under 24 hours, and the platform is far more stable. If you ran into trouble and never heard back from us, please email [email protected] so we can look into your case specifically. We don’t want to keep money from anyone who’s unhappy, and we appreciate your feedback.

Don't use this service
Don't use this service. 1) Many financial apps and institutions won't use the #. 2) When you ask for a refund and cancelation because of reason #1 they will give you the run around and stall tactics to try and make you give up.

Hi Patrick,
Thank you for the honest feedback. You’re not wrong—if you signed up prior to February 2025, your number may have been on our former carrier or even on a toll-free or improperly provisioned block, which sometimes failed with 2FA. We’ve since moved fully to a mobile SPID for SMS delivery, including banks and major apps.
As for refunds—we’re truly sorry if there was any delay. Our support team response time had reached 4–5 days during the February-April surge (driven by Skype users porting in), but we’ve since doubled our team and resolved our backlog. Response times are now back to under 24 hours.
We’re happy to issue you a full refund. Please email [email protected] and we’ll take care of it immediately. Again, we don’t want to keep any customer’s money if they didn’t get value.

STAY AWAY, FAR AWAY! DO NOT PURCHASE FROM PHONE2!
Have you read all the negative reviews that client's have left? Read, read, read and heed the warnings! Stay away! FAR AWAY! DO NOT purchase ANYTHING from this company. You will loose your money and get some piece of crap phone system that is hardly functional and they will refuse to refund you. It's been nearly a year since I purchased and I have had issues since Day 1. I'm currently fighting with them now about an array of issues that I am having with them! The review that Leo posted, I'm having the same issues. You can't make calls most of the time due to some system issues they are having. You can't receive text messages from various systems. The system freezes, glitches and out of service a lot of times. The SMS services will stop working most of the time and they will blame the issue on you. This company will not take ANY responsibility for their actions or their faulty, non-functional systems. I have had nothing but issue after issue with their web version of the phone AND the android app on my mobile phone. I have contacted support on multiple occasions and only to be forgotten about and being kept in the dark with stupid responses such as "What issue are you having?" after I just clearly put the issue into my initial support request. It's like the whole company is trying to be run by 1 person, masquerading as different 'agents' with extremely bad AI or something.
This is the most horrific company that anyone can do business with! DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THESE PEOPLE! I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR A REFUND SINCE DAY 1 ONLY TO BE REFUSED EVERY TIME I ASKED!
UPDATE: 4/14/25 - They mentioned they would be refunding me but they have NOT and immediately after they posted this on 4/7/25 I reached back out to them and it's now 4/14/25 and I have YET to receive a reply OR a refund from them! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT! THIS IS THE KIND OF CRAPPY ASS SERVICE THEY PROVIDE OR DON'T PROVIDE I SHOULD SAY!
UPDATE 5/14/25: After reporting to the FCC, filing this on TrustPilot and also having an attorney reach out to them, they have still YET to refund me or make things right with me. As you can see in their reply, they offered to refund me and said they would, but it was just an empty promise. Look at the reviews of others having the same issue! Stay away from this company! The company will NOT refund you and you will have to file a chargeback with you bank to get your funds back. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! FAR AWAY!

Hi Larry,
We're extremely sorry to hear about your experience. If you joined before February 2025, it’s likely your number was provisioned on our old network—which was a key cause of call failures, dropped texts, and SMS delivery issues. We’ve since transitioned fully to a new carrier with mobile SPID, resolved provisioning delays, and added automated port-out PINs for full transparency and control.
Regarding refunds: delays in February were real, but not intentional. We were overwhelmed by port-ins from Skype (which suddenly discontinued service), and our CX team struggled to keep up. We’ve since doubled our support team, reduced response times to 1 business day, and made refunds straightforward.
We’d like to fix this. Please email [email protected] and we’ll issue your refund immediately—no conditions. We truly do not want to keep money from anyone who isn’t satisfied.
For others reading: we are now stable, scaling, and you can preview updates at beta.phone2.io. We’re sorry for the early rough patches and remain committed to doing right by every user.

Terrible Experience – Lifetime Pro Number is a Scam!
I bought the Lifetime Pro Number and it has been a complete waste of money. Every time I try to call any US number, it fails—not even once has it worked. I even emailed their support asking for a refund and cancellation, but it's been over a week with no response at all.
To make it worse, I can't use the number for bank verifications or anything important. It's useless, and the customer support is completely unresponsive. Avoid this service at all costs—they take your money and disappear. I’m still waiting for my refund!

Hi Leo,
We’re really sorry to hear this. Most of the issues you described sound like they stem from the early version of Phone2, which used a previous underlying network provider. Users who signed up before February 2025 were disproportionately impacted by delays, missing features like US call connectivity, and slower response times. At the same time, we were overwhelmed by port requests from Skype, which slowed our CX team down to a 4–5 day response window—completely unacceptable.
Since then, we've made serious upgrades:
- Calls now connect reliably (US and abroad).
- All numbers are on a mobile SPID for better compatibility with 2FA.
Refund processing is faster, and support reply times are under 24 hours.
You can see the latest version at beta.phone2.io.
We never intend to take money from users who are unhappy with their experience. Please email us at [email protected] with your account email—we’ll make it right asap. Thank you!
