2018/11/17 Trouser Slacksman I like this app. I like that you can get a real phone number. I HATE the ads they force on you. I also HATE that when you allow the Dingtone app to give you notifications (which you have to do if you want to be notified when someone is calling you) Dingtone will abuse that access and put notifications on your phone to buy credits. I hate looking down and seeing random notifications to buy stuff on my lock screen. Also, Dingtone provides users the option to earn free credits by signing up for promos, playing advertising games and subscribing to ad services. I understand some people can’t afford to buy credits outright and this gives them some options. This could come in very handy if you are abroad, lost all your cash and desperately need to make a phone call. Unfortunately, I have tried out some of these “free credits” options and there are many that just take your information and never give you the credits. For example, I was supposed to earn a handful of credits for signing up on some Burger King mailing list. I clicked the link and it took me to a long advertising survey that asked me endless amounts of personal questions. It didn’t even seem like it was for Burger King at all. In the end, the survey had literally asked me about 100 personal questions and I never received my free credits. I felt used and taken advantage of. It felt so shady and I hated it. I don’t trust those “earn free credit” gimmicks now. Dingtone has great potential but I wish I could just pay for a premium version that has 0 ADVERTISEMENTS and 0 PROMOTIONAL NOTIFICATIONS. When you give advertisers the freedom to operate inside your phone, if you give them an inch of space they will take a mile. Dingtone is a powerful and useful app that unfortunately, also gives advertisers a door into your system. Remember NOTHING IS FOR FREE. Facebook isn’t for free and Google services aren’t free. You are trading your identity for these services. And Dingtone is more brazen about this than I feel comfortable with.
