TravelNomad added Hushed as alternative to esim ahora!- revolver reviewed Hushed
I purchased a lifetime plan expecting to keep my phone number for the long term. Unfortunately, my number eventually expired, and I was informed that I would need to subscribe to a monthly plan to continue using the service. As a result, I lost both the money I had spent on the lifetime plan and the phone number I had been relying on.

What is Hushed?
Hushed is a mobile app that allows users to buy a phone number for privacy on a temporary or permanent basis. It also includes an Encrypted Messenger for secure communications. Users can get local numbers from over 60 countries, enabling private calls, anonymous texts, and caller ID masking. The app allows management of multiple lines for personal and business use.
Hushed is easy to use and prioritizes privacy, with no contracts or complex sign-up procedures. Its main feature is the option to 'burn' numbers after use, leaving no trace. It's useful for online dating, local classifieds transactions, and business professionals who want an extra number on their device without needing a second phone or SIM card.
Hushed also caters to international users and travelers, offering local numbers to avoid long-distance or roaming charges. It provides subscription plans for unlimited calling and texting within North America, with numbers from the US or Canada.
Comments and Reviews
I purchased a lifetime plan expecting to keep my phone number for the long term. Unfortunately, my number eventually expired, and I was informed that I would need to subscribe to a monthly plan to continue using the service. As a result, I lost both the money I had spent on the lifetime plan and the phone number I had been relying on.
What disappointed me most was the customer support. The representative I dealt with was dismissive and unhelpful. I received no meaningful assistance, explanation, or alternative solution only a brief response informing me that my number had expired.
Because of this experience, I personally cannot recommend this company. I strongly encourage anyone considering their services to be very cautious.
In the end, after losing my number and receiving no meaningful support or resolution, I decided to delete my account entirely.
Overall, this was an extremely disappointing experience.
I signed up for an account almost a year ago and paid with a credit card. I went to renew and it kept giving me an error ("Something went wrong with your credit card payment") despite using the exact same card as before. I reached out to customer support and they said, "direct credit card purchases are no longer available and your purchase is not being accepted by our payment processors. To make purchases, you can keep using Google or iTunes via in-app purchases."
They never notified me of any change in their terms and (as of writing this review) both their website and app still show the ability to pay with credit card. Unacceptable.
