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.

I keto getting an error when just trying to set up the account, and then when I try to look up the reasons for the error number, and how to fix it, it shows a few reasons that it could be (none of them apply in this case) and then it basically says if it's not one of those reasons, there's nothing that can be done. I've tried on a second device and got the same error.

used to love this app, but the ads are ridiculous!!!. They are playing All through the call. The person on the other end can't hear you, or you sound robotic. I have to end the call and continue on Facebook messenger. if I have to use Facebook to call someone, what's the point of having the app. ZERO STARS FROM 4 STARS IN 2019.

Hey Antoinette, these ads are the main way we keep our service free. However, these ads should in no way interfere with your ability to call properly. If this continues, please reach out to us with any additional information at reviews@pinger.com. We'll investigate this further from there.

The paid subscription might be worth it but the ads for the free version are random & intrusive, forcing calls to drop & the app to crash when it can't handle ad processing. In other words, the ads interrupt basic functionality. Furthermore, the app is slow, glitchy & sometimes unresponsive. I've used this app on 3 separate phones & the experience has been steadily subpar. I suggest only using the app if you absolutely must. Otherwise, there are better options, just search & read the reviews.

Hey Andrew, we're sorry to hear about this. These ads are the main way we can keep our service free. However, they should never cause any calls to drop or become intrusive when properly using TextFree. If they do in any way, please reach out to us at reviews@pinger.com.
