said by PX Eliezer0:said by wideglide36:I signed up for a Telos account through the Google play store and purchased a number from them.
Lo and behold, I must have missed the part where I had to pay $9.99/mo. to keep it. I swear I didn't see that little tid bit anywhere or I wouldn't have purchased it in the first place.
Are you sure?
Their website is admittedly confusing, which I suspect is half done on purpose and half out of ignorance.

www.telosapp.com/But AFAICT the numbers are free, and the incoming calls and texts are free.
If you want to make outbound calls and texts, then you have to pay money. This could range from 2.99/month for a plan where you listen to ads, up to 9.99/month for a plan with unlimited.
You can also earn credits in various ways.
Again, I might be wrong about this but it does appear to me that the money is only needed for outbound. If not, they are really messing with people.
PS: They are too cute by half. Any company that is too cute is someone I stay away from.
Hey PX,
I had signed up for an account months ago and did in fact receive a free number and for some reason just uninstalled the app and let that free number lapse.
Just recently I re-installed the app and apparently the second time around you are charged for a new number. I didn't see that mentioned anywhere either until later on. I had to purchase $3.99 in credits in order to get the latest number.
Now, only after purchasing the number, do I see that it's gonna cost me $9.99/mo. to keep it. They really don't make things too clear on their site.
I emailed support and they told me I should only have to pay $3.99/mo. because that is what I paid for the number, but that's not what it says on my phone. I guess I'll keep it for a month just to see what they actually charge.
Their plans are also confusing as well. I have the pay as you go plan and can't figure out how many credits I would use in making calls or sending and receiving texts. I'll have to experiment.
Anyhow, thanks for your input.....
