Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


Talk Now offers the ability to obtain virtual numbers for making calls, or sending texts, or both, in scenarios where it may not be appropriate to use your personal number. Once obtained, you can use the number provided within the app for incoming calls and SMS.

About Credit Balance


1. What are the Credits?

Credits are a virtual currency that you can use within the app. When you purchase a subscription, you receive a specific number of credits. You will receive the same number of credits each time your subscription is renewed. You can use credits to make calls and send text messages. You can view your credit balance either on the Number page or at the bottom of the Keypad screen.

2. Why are my credits negative?

In situations where a refund is issued, your credits may have a negative balance. This is to prevent a bug where people subscribe to receive free credits, and then refund their subscription. To prevent this, your credits will be deducted for the subscription after a refund is issued. Your balance will become negative if you do not have enough credits to cover this deduction. You can contact us via support_textmaster@atlasv.com if there are any mistakes in your account balance.

3. How can I get more credits?

4. What happens if the subscription expires?

An active subscription is what enables the number to function. Once a subscription expires, a certain associated number will be disabled. Although your credits and the history of that number will remain, you will be unable to use that number to make or receive calls and send or receive messages. When your subscription expires, you will no longer be able to:

However, certain features will still be available even with an expired subscription. You will be able to:

It's important to note that your assigned number will belong to someone else if you don't renew the associated subscription within 2 days of its expiration. After that, the number will no longer be available to you.

5. How can I restore my expired number?

In order to prevent the number from expiring due to forgotten renewal, we provide an additional 2 days grace period for subscribers at no charge. During the grace period, users can reactivate their expired numbers by resubscribing.

You are also welcome to contact us for supporting via support_textmaster@atlasv.com.

6. How can I buy a new number if I can only restore a old number now?

In order to prevent the number from expiring due to forgotten renewal, we will provide an additional 2 days grace period for subscribers at no charge. During the grace period, users can activate their expired numbers during the grace period by resubscribing.

As required by Apple policy, developers must guarantee that users' paid entitlements are met on any device, so we associate numbers with their paid accounts (via privacy-secure compliant method), which allows for automatic restoration of those numbers if the paid account is detected as having associated numbers within the grace period when paid.

If you wish to purchase a new number, please pay for it with a different account or cancel your subscription and subscribe it after 2 days of the subscription expiration date. If you still have any questions, please contact us via support_textmaster@atlasv.com.
