FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is TextFree really free?
Yes—your number, texting, and calling are all free. TextFree is ad-supported, which is how we're able to offer it at no cost, but if you'd rather go ad-free (and get more features), TextFree Plus has you covered.

Does TextFree give you a real phone number?
A TextFree number is a dialable U.S. or Canadian phone number with its own area code. It runs over Wi-Fi or data rather than a traditional carrier plan, but works just like one for texting and calling.

Does TextFree work without a phone plan?
Yes. TextFree runs on Wi-Fi or mobile data—no carrier required. As long as you have an internet connection, you're good to go.

Is TextFree private and secure?
TextFree doesn't sell or share your information with third parties, and we never use your messages to train AI models. For full details, see our privacy policy.

Who is TextFree for?
TextFree is for anyone who needs a phone number without the cost or commitment of a carrier plan—and anyone who wants a second number for side hustles, online marketplaces, or anywhere they'd rather not share their real digits.

Do I need to provide a government-issued ID to create a TextFree account?
No. You do not need to submit a government-issued ID to sign up for TextFree. To create an account, you'll need to verify your email address or sign in using a supported Google or Apple account.

talk about dishonest! the app, puts up a full screen ad, that looks like your phone found photos that were previously deleted. since when does a texting app search for and recover photos? it doesn't, this is completely dishonest and misleading. full page advertising in the middle of your texting that is unacceptable. the fact that it's an ad pretending to be a service from your phone, is completely unreal! do not install, check out other apps like text now they work so much better!

If you have any questions about this, please let us know at reviews@pinger.com.

Installed it, paid for a month of "premium" and then the next day it refused to open. No updates available. In fact, when I came on the play store it says it can't be downloaded onto my phone. So because I'm not able to afford a brand new phone I can kick rocks, but you'll take my almost $20 and not even offer a refund or anything - not just textfree but google too. I explained it to them and they couldn't care less. So, I guess y'all needed my money more than I did. Thanks for nothing.

Hey John, we're sorry to hear about this. We understand how frustrating this can be to deal with. If you could please reach out to us with a screenshot of a receipt for one of these charges at reviews@pinger.com. We'll investigate this further from there.

I like it at first.... but now the ads are becoming unbearable and invasive. Every single action is an ad (sometimes multiple). they are short ads but too many. You also can't search a phone number unless you put brackets [ex: (647)]... and the phone calls are terrible quality. I can barely hear the other person, the call always drops or it just doesn't dial at all.

Hey there, we understand larger ads can be frustrating. They're the main way we make money off of TextFree, and allow us to be able to keep the app free. They should never affect your ability to use the app, and if they do, email us at reviews@pinger.com with a screenshot. We'll look into it right away.
