Roamer-Goodbye Roaming &Cheap international calls App Reviews

This app is a complete rip-off. There are three different ways you will have your money stolen. First, Apple takes 30% of all in-app purchases straight off the top, so your $10.99 top-up is immediatly reduced to $7.69. Second, they will quote you a per minutes rate before your call and then charge you more. The 1min 55sec call I just made was quoted at a rate of 9.2c/min but I was charged 25.5 cents for a call that should have been less than 18. Third, when they actually subtract the amount from your remaining balance they will again charge you more. The 18 cent call, that turned into a 25.5 cent call, ended up costing 85 cents, as that was the actual amount subtracted from my account.

This app had started to earn my trust. Yes, it is pricey. However, the perks somewhat outweighed the costs. However, the tech behind the app has declined SIGNIFICANTLY in recent months. Im afraid to ever update the app, because now all of my calls consistently drop (even if I have enough balance) and thats even if I ever get a call-back from Roamer when trying to make an outgoing call. What has happened to the reliability? Unbelievably disappointing. I have to restart my phone and/or the app at least 5-10 times to get a call-back now. Frustrating beyond belief for a businessman who used to put trust in the app.

I used to love this but I found its quality declined and became unusable for me

If you travel arround the World it will help you to save money, i test it from India (Tamil Nadu) and it works very fine

I had a lot of fun with this small nice proggy, and have saved aLOOOT of BUUUCKS Recommend to use while travel around the globe

I am traveling for business 200 days out of a year and this app is great as it allows me to get business call from my desk to cell phone abroad wherever I am regardless if I have hi speed access or not. Saves me a bunch, but more importantly clients can reach me even in countries where there is no such thing as hi speed internet. Love it!

This app sounds helpful but I cant get past the first screen...it crashes...every time!!!

Pros: works as advertised. Allows to save money with local sim cards without losing phone number. Interesting concept, and a lot of effort has been put to make app user friendly. Cons: 50% of the reason of keeping your number is calls, the other 50% is text. Texts dont work, even though Roamer say that is not their fault, its still a limitation. There must be a way. Maybe the key is not in text forwarding directly to the phone but rerouting? Text goes to you, and then you resend it to new phone number? Another big problem is it Requires data connection to make a call through the service. What if the local SIM card bought doesnt have a data connection and theres no wifi available? Finally Wifi call rates are too high. Tons of programs exist using wifi calls and theyre FREE. I understand and accept the charges when using network, but I shouldnt have to pay when using Roamer through wifi (and I dont. I just switch to another free app). You want me to use your app and include into my daily routine as much as possible. Therefore, remove the wifi calling fees, and you spread your brand that way.

Unless you read Arabic, dont bother installing this ap. It installs in Arabic and has no instructions on how to change it to English. Very poor attempt at language detection.

When I tried to verify a sim card it displays a message: "local sim required: sim: cs, location: rs", obiviously a bug, cs is old iso code for serbia and montenegro, rs is iso code for serbia, I cant use the app because of that problem.

This app had so many promises and as a frequent traveler I tried to use it three times in the last week. Too many bugs. It doesnt work. Such a terrible disappointment. Failures on various stages at every attempt....

Works exactly as advertised!!! Great app

Not good. Problem with "parking" my number. Grey, not official number for "parking". Not working as result.

No need to write stories, how beatiful and bla bla bla... Just these words: saves money, easy to use, doesnt overload ur phone. But bedore you try urself - u wont feel it.

I couldnt figure out everything. Plus call forwarding is actually a paid feature for your home operator, thus youll have to pay additionally for every minute forwarded!!!

Worling a treat now in my trip to Vietnam. Highly recommended!

Tried it in on my trips to UK and France. Myself - from Ukraine. Both times worked splendidly. Saved lots of coin on calls. Recommend!

Highly recommended application for travelers. Spending vast time abroad I can respectively say that GSM is the cheapest and most reliable tech to reach people trough distance. Most of data plans cant provide a decent Skype or Google Talk connection, "Travel Sim" isnt cheap and only helps you to call somebody but not to be called. To me roamer is a good implementation of a brilliant idea. In appreciation for saving my and my callers money Ill spend time and recommend it online.

Interesting, but missing my parking country ( Moldova ) :((

Работает отлично. Рекомендую всем. Особенно когда звонишь из-за границы и у людей светится мой местный номер - это что-то! Цена вполне приемлема. Качество звука - на высоте. Recommend to everybody! Great service! Great quality! Easy to understand! When abroad - stay with your own cell number using local, much cheaper. Great pricing!
