App not appearing on Play Store....

It seems Belgian telecom company Proximus Group purchased majority stake in Route Mobile. Alas, Route Mobile's parent is a Belgian company. Sad!

Very nice❤

22:22 Company is very good but customer executives are the worst one.
Bought Bulk SMS reseller with them.
Made agreements, legal formalities.
Interested for other products also but ruin my experience.
After deal is completed they dont even bother to give demo, how to use it, avoided consulting..
Really scary behaviour of Mrs.Vanmali.
We stopped using their services without using single sms credit.
I hope team will note this point to improve services for low end customers as well.
