The service was not usable because I cancelled my service after 2 months of not having an activated number to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unfortunately, I share the same sentiment as the other reviewers on here and many other review websites.
Customer service is toxic and useless. I had signed up with the intention to start using the product within a reasonable timeframe. Once I paid and went through the profile setup, a small disclaimer appeared that said it will take 4-6 weeks or longer to get your phone number activated for use.
I had found out that countless new users were waiting even longer than this. I immediately reached out to customer service within days of signing up and requested clarification. They confirmed the extended time frames and said I must pay the monthly subscription fee regardless of their product not being usable and refused my request for a refund. They were very unapologetic and had the audacity to ask me to prove that I got another company to get me activated the same day.
I had signed up with another provider that has the same technology/features and had a phone number before the end of day. I have also investigated all their competitors, and all provide a working number on the same day.
I contacted Twilio who provides the phone service for Bonzo, and they quoted their KYC (Know Your Customer) that says, "With our advanced vetting process with industry leading accuracy rates, Twilio promises to authorize customers within 72 hours of submitting their profile."
I think Bonzo needs serious accountability. I find their business practices questionable at best and would NOT RECOMMEND anyone investing their valuable time and money into them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
