Yessss Get this app if you have an iPod, iPad, or iPhone that has been shut off your provider. As for me, I have two iPods and an iPhone that has been shut off the provider. I linked all of them under the same account. I can text as (724) ***-**** and nobody knows that I don't actually have a phone!!! This app is perfect and has no flaws, unless you have absolutely no tolerances for ads. The ads only pop up at the bottom of your screen AFTER you send a message. It's not too bad. I usually can't stand ads, but this doesn't interfere with the quality of the app. You can also, if you double-text, click the little "x" in the corner of the ad to view the keyboard again. You get your notifications as always. Text free also can text you personally when you have updates or to remind you that if your phone number isn't used within a certain amount of time, it will be given to someone else. But anyone that uses this app usually uses it frequently and doesn't have the issue. It only happened to me a few years back when I only got the app to text my mom for a busy month, and right after that I didn't use it. I got a new number, with ease, and now I can use it any time I wish. You may also reserve your number for a small fee. For free you may record your own voicemail. You may also choose your own ringtone, and on Androids you can use your pre-installed ringtones on your device. I recommend this app to anyone. Please download this app if the above criteria relates to you.

TextFree app is an Awesome app that can save you lots money

By Studiorich

If you have cell phone service that is pay as you go where you pay ten cents per minute you can use your new phone number from this app as a WiFi phone and enjoy unlimited voice calling and not worry about racking up minutes on your prepaid or pay as you go cell phone plan also if you live in an area with poor cell phone service but have a strong WiFi signal then you don’t have to worry anymore about dropped calls using your cell phone as you are using WiFi to make and receive calls. Note No 911 Calls can be made with this service so you must use your cell phone or land line for 911 calls. This feature full phone line comes with voicemail, text, and so much more for $4.99 per month. Calls are clear using your speaker phone and uses less power using WiFi then using a cell phone tower. Plus if you own other cell phones or iPads with no cell service they too will all work using the same local phone number just download TextFree app on all your other devices and you have phones that you can use throughout your home even on locked phones and iPads. You will not be disappointed this is one truly amazing app well worth $4.99 per month and you can try it for free if you don’t mind ads but you risk losing your phone number after 30 days. But your subscription guarantees you can keep your new phone number and is ad free.

This app is really good. My only complaint is that i do not receive notifications from text messages and the ads are a bit ridiculous. One ad will constantly run and take up the bottom half of my screen. I understand the need for ads but it can just be too much at times and it slows down the app and freezes.

This is been a success story also a struggle story me as the reviewer have been using Textfree for over six years close to seven and when I had no way to have a phone service from my iPhone I was able to always have access to people calling me and having textWhich it being a American app I had no idea I’d be able to use it in Europe where I went and subsequently suffered a heart attack still having no phone service tax-free had allowed me to call and text my friends and family in the USA with no extra surcharge and really no problem this was a great thing now if this doesn’t come with the bells and whistles but it still was pretty forward thinking for time it came out it’s still one of the originals and one thing about it it’s stable sometime to glitches but it’s stable overall and I’ve still been able to use it we talking about six years of service that I use pretty much every day I am an original thank you tax-free you really helped me expand on so many things and yes I do have phone service now but I still use this as one of my secondaryNumbers one of the best apps ever invented because it works

I've used Text Free for years (ever since Pinger days) and my overall experience has been pretty good... HOWEVER, lately I've been having an issue with messages NOT SENDING despite the fact that, as far as what I SEE on MY END, the message went through just fine. I only realized it was happening because I failed to get a response. It happens seemingly at random but it's infuriating not being able to trust whether my message sent for real or not... ESPECIALLY when paying $10 a month

I guess at moments this app performs well . But I currently, probably have had issues where I am not receiving response from people who is texting me. I literally told someone to send me a screenshot of their response and they did and I didn’t even received the previous messages. I will recommend to keep your important communication with certain individuals off this app. Because you may believe a reply wasn’t sent back to you or someone is ignoring you, when in actuality they have send a message back and it is lost in a virtual collages of missing Texts .

Great free App
May 27, 2019

By Mmcvey98

Best free app for texting for when you need another number. I hope that none of you ever have to have another number for the reasons that I have had to. The only complaint I have is the fact that you have to buy minutes and the cost but on the same token with that; If someone tries to call the number you have the option to have a call go directly to voicemail, so if the Caller leaves a voicemail you can still get the communication, along with the ability of an automatic text response to let them know that you cannot receive telephone calls on that number and make them aware of that fact. So I still give it five stars despite the downfall of having to buy minutes. They give you some free minutes to start, and methods/other ways to gain free minutes IF you want to take the time to go through all of the surveys and marketing etc. When I have used the actual calling function of the app, the quality has been great. So overall for being a free app I give it five thumbs up :-)

5 years, 5 stars
Jun 1, 2018

By cobalionandzelda43210

I have had this app for 5 years (yes, 5 years) so it is imperative that I write a review! I got this app when I started college and did not have phone service yet, and I used it for over a year constantly. I've kept it ever since, and I still have the phone number that I started with. I moved to a rural area, where getting cell service is nearly impossible, and this app came in handy for actually being able to talk on the phone without needing to be in specific corner of the house or outside. This is the best free texting and calling app I've ever found. There are, of course, things that annoy me (like the amount of ads, not being able to make calls for free and only receive them, and the phone number going away if you haven't used it in a while). This is a completely free app, though, so I couldn't be happier. If you want more capabilities, you could either pay for the app or pay for phone service. For everything that this app does, I can't help but to give it 5 stars.

unlimited talk+text to any phone number regardless if they are a text now user or not
Apr 9, 2020

By Graceland kelly

okay so i’ve tried talkatone and almost every free calling and texting app out there but i always come back to this one.. one thing i love about talkatone that this app lacks is that talkatone you only need the calling “ credits “ for international calling... on that app you can send unlimited texts and calls to anyone without calling minutes... regardless if they have the app or not and i LOVE this app but i do think that dark mode should come to this app it would be BEAUTIFUL i’d suggest also “ read receipts “ and i think we should have unlimited text and calls... the calling credits should just be for international calling..so basically we just have unlimited texting and calling to any number regardless if they have this app or not with ads to keep it free just like the talkatone app does!!! other than the whole calling minutes thing that’s the ONLY thing i don’t like other than that this app is amazing and the best of the best but please give us dark mode and give us unlimited free calling i’d appreciate it! and so would do many other people!!!

Love it! But needs changes......
Apr 28, 2021

By 💘🍪😆😄

Okay, I need this app. Because I don’t have a phone, and my Apple iPad only texts to other Apple products. With this app I can text my mom and dad who have Samsung phones. Also some of my older cousins. (The younger ones don’t have phones.) The changes that you should make is that you get a lot more calling time. Because my mom and dad are going to be working a lot over the summer, and I’m gonna be home alone with my older twin, and little sister. And they are gonna be gone a lot! (My Mom has to go in for training for a new job, and my dad is a truck driver, hauling stuff and farming.) And 10 minutes of calling time. AWWW HECK NO. Okay... I know you can also earn calling time, but I’m too young to make any purchases, or subscribe, or start a free trial for anything. If you wanna know how young it’s younger then 14 but older then 10. And there is no way I’m BUYING CALLING MINUTES. So that’s part is stupid. But I love how you can customize the background colors of the text and stuff. That cool. Welp that’s all I have to say. PLEASE CHANGE THE CALLING MINUTES! Bye!

It's alright. Lots of annoying ads. On two cellphones, it was nearly IMPOSSIBLE to answer a call!. I missed call after call! Bad for cheap phones! It sucks that you have to PAY to call out! Others don't charge as long as you keep using their app. It would be nice be given an option to watch a video in exchange for minutes or premium features. Lots of other apps have that feature now. They'd still get money!

Best free texting app ever! Only app of it's kind that's let me keep the same number for over a year without having to pay for anything. There is an option to get unlimited minutes n no ads for $9.99 a month which isn't too bad but I'm happy with the free service. Only complaint is that it will crash from time to time or I'll get my texts later than the timestamp on it says it came through. Besides the delay in receiving texts its great!

Needed a secondary text app for my business contacts, so that I didn't have to carry an entire second phone. Text Free has been awesome! Use it both on my phone & desktop at the office. Just wish you could change the contacts on your mobile app to names instead of just the phone number, like you can on the desktop version.

App often doesn't notify me of messages, or ring when there's an incoming call. I use this number as my work number, and I lose clients when I'm not knowing to respond.Also, there's a glitch where I touch the text input bar area and no keyboard pops up...for several minutes sometimes, which is extremely frustrating when the promptness of my reply is everything. I have been a text free user for 4 or 5 years, and I just keep hoping you'll get it together.

Constant notifications telling me "I haven't set up my number" when I choose to log out manually every time I'm done with the app. Annoying, but manageable. The ads aren't intrusive, either. I would highly recommend against sending any private information or pictures at all(your privates included, you wierdos) over a free text app like this. Use Snapchat or your actual number for that. Their privacy policy is sketchy at best.

great but a couple of things (PLEASE READ
May 18, 2022

By Jazzy_Jazz :)

this app is good and i enjoy the unlimited texting. a couple of things though: 1) app is glitchy/slow. i’m trying to navigate to the home screen and i have to tap it a couple of times. also when i new message comes in, it takes a while to load. 2) time limit on calls is VERY annoying!! i’m trying to talk with my friends and family over the phone, and i have to say “i gotta go” because i am going to RUN OUT OF TIME. i’m trying to have an important conversation that you shouldn’t have to pay for! 3) PLEASE ADD A DARK MODE! please, please, PLEASE add a dark mode to the app! it will be so much for efficient and appealing! the light mode is not very good (my opinion and i’m sure others agree) 4) the ads get very annoying, it would be recommend to lower the ad amount, even though it might be out of your control. 5) random numbers keep calling me: make it stop!! every day, i’m constantly getting random calls, and it’s annoying cause i have to block and remove each one! other than that, i enjoy that you can change the pic for the home screen/convo screen and that you have your own phone number. i will love the app more if you listen to my requests, thanks for reading this! 😊😊
