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 real, 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 everyday 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 personal 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 real 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.

Messages not sending... Been using this app for years. The ads have gotten worse. Used to just be the ones at the bottom. Now you get the pop ups every time you wanna change who you talk to. Also, messages are not being received by people. Full bars, 5g, no reason for the issue on my end, but multiple people are not getting the messages...

DO NOT USE. If you plan on making phone calls more than 2 minutes long (even with perfect connection on high speed internet) you will cut out and so will they. EVERY. OTHER. WORD. Phone calls are impossible to make. It's so laggy to answer calls you miss them, and if you have anything playing in the background before the call it will keep playing. This whole app is trash. Only usable for texts.

it's a great app, but the amount of ads is way overdone! I can understand making money through advertising, but putting an ad up every few seconds or every single time you switch screens or text someone is way overboard! yes I understand there is a paid version via subscription. the price of the subscription is actually the same price as you can get a real cell phone with one of the low price carriers!

Hey John, 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.
