About this app

TextFree is the free texting and free calling app that gives you free text plus a real US phone number so you can text anyone, even if they don’t have the app. You can text now with features such as free SMS messaging, group messaging, free MMS picture messaging, international texting & calling, voicemail and more—all for free.

CUSTOM NUMBER SELECTOR

Unlike Text Me, Text Now, Text Plus, or other apps, TextFree lets you choose your area code and search memorable phone numbers like, “(555) 414-SARA,” simple sequences like “(555) 500-2525,” or combinations that are, “JUST4U.”

đź’¬ UNLIMITED TEXTS & PICTURES

Text now with unlimited SMS and MMS picture messages for free.

FREE CALLING

App-to-App calling and any incoming calls are always free. Outbound calling minutes are easy to earn or super cheap to buy. Say, “Hola!” because calls to Mexico are now supported as well.

REAL PHONE NUMBER

Having a real US number means you can call your grandma’s landline, order a pizza, and text now to anyone with a cellphone. It also means free MMS and SMS will work with all your friends.

GROUP CHATTING

TextFree is perfect for free group text plus MMS with all your friends. You can create groups, leave groups, add participants and let everyone be part of the conversation with real SMS messages (or free MMS).

TURN ANY DEVICE INTO A PHONE

No text plus calling service with a carrier? No Problem. TextFree can turn your desktop, tablet or other Android devices into a phone that can send text plus phone call for free. Free texting on all these devices.

THE ORIGINAL

Don’t settle for apps like textPlus, TextMe, Talkatone, and TextNow when TextFree is the original and best free texting app available.

I have used this app for over a year but rarely for calls as various people have told me I sound choppy or very far away when speaking. I mainly text with this service which is good, but you can't receive short code verifications unless you pay. The ads aren't long, so that does not bother me since the service doesn't charge for just texting. I wish that I could save names with the numbers without having to save them to my actual phone contacts list first.

When you receive a call, the high pitch ring tone blasts at full volume on both your ear buds blowing your ears out & your phone. it's incredibly loud & unbearable. There is no way to change this, even if you turn the ring sound function off in the app settings, it still rings & full volume & you can't change anything about it.. can't lower the volume or change the ring sound, or turn it off. absolutely horrible. can't stand this. horrible app. they need to change this.

It's a great app. But, every person I talk to says they can't hear me very well and they say it always sounds like static when I talk. I've tried it on Android and iPhone and it's the same. Both phones get hot when calling out or receiving a call. Sometimes during a call, the audio cuts out at intervals, on, off, on, off, on. I can hear parts of what they're saying. that also happens on both Android and iPhone.
