There's no trial option to test it out, and you have to pay for a full year subscription just to use it. As soon as I paid—before even using Ghost —I received a message from the developer asking for a positive review, which immediately raised red flags. Now I see why there are so many negative reviews. Ghost is awful.
**Texting feature:**
- First, I tried sending a text to my own number—nothing was received.
- Then, I tested sending a text to the burner number and got a message saying, "Free Msg: Unable to send message—Message Blocking is active."
- In another test, I texted a friend. They received the message, and I got a reply back, so at least that worked.
**Calling feature:**
- I asked my friend to call me, but they kept getting a busy signal.
- When I tried calling out, I kept getting a message saying I needed to verify my number. Which number? My personal number or the burner? I’ve tried both, and neither works.
At this point, I’m contacting Apple for a refund.
