Excellent! I’ve had to use this app multiple times over the years. Easy as signing up with your email and picking a number. Sometimes a previous number I’ve used will be an option and my old messages are actually still saved so that’s kind of neat.
Pros
I don’t know how many times I’ve been without reliable cell service provider or just been plain broke and TextFree is the most hassle free way to get a dependable phone phone number that’s available practically anywhere and it’s free.
Cons
The option to get a verification text was kind of a let down so I couldn’t use it to verify emails or log ins however now with the premium version that amenity is provided

Overall, TextNow was a really nice experience and I do recommend.
Pros
What I liked about TextFree was before I had a job so I could pay for phone service, TextFree gave me the perks of being able to text and call as long as I was connected to wifi. I know that they now offer actual service plans with sim cards as well.
Cons
What I liked the least about TextNow was,back when I used it, the fact that to use it I had to be connected to wifi.

I will use this application only if I really need to
Pros
I really like that this app will give you a personalized number that only you could use. that way other people will not have your number. you can text back and forth and since its a number people will actually reply to your texts
Cons
I didn't like that is not too user-friendly and that it has too many apps. sometimes my text would get confused by commercial texts or get lost between the apps.

I love using this app, if my phone ever is cut off, I always use this software as a backup number just in case, it’s free & easy to use, very beginner friendly, you can’t go wrong with it honestly
Pros
I love how it’s a free mobile number to use at any time, the minutes are cheap to purchase or they might let you watch free ads for free minutes
Cons
I don’t like how the number expires from inactivity, if it were a lifetime number I can keep then it’d be perfect but you still get a free mobile number which is still a plus

Text ME on TextFree!
Reviewed on 2023/05/15
Pros
One of my most favorite features is simply the sign-in process because once I create my account I can officially use that log in information to use on pretty much every single one of my devices. It's definitely less stress trying to find numbers and zero hassle with trying to find contacts that I use for TextFree itself; just give the app access to what it needs to fully operate and VOILA!
Cons
The ads are NO JOKE; I feel like it creates a bit of a buffer when trying to open and close TextFree and while texting and receiving texts.
Alternatives Considered
TextUsReasons for Choosing TextFree
I had to pay for this app after 7 days; while still having to view ads in order to use the service plus getting occasional suggestions for survey's as to the quality of the service. I wouldn't mind doing the any of the above IF the service was FREE in exchange for all of our (the customer's) efforts.Reasons for Switching to TextFree

TextFree is a scam
Reviewed on 2023/07/23
My impression it's a scam.
My impression it's a scam.
Pros
Seemed like a great service and the concept of a text number to use for business marketing is appealing.
Cons
As soon as I installed TextFree demanded a recurring payment of $9.99 per month. That contradicts the marketing presentation of this product. I would have considered a subscription if the product were useful and reliable, but the claim of free service and lack of any kind of free trial to use the product is a huge turn-off. Uninstalled.

I LOVE IT. IT IS HELPFUL IN MANY WAYS. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD YOUR CELL BILL FOR THE MONTH IT ALLOWS YOU TO STILL COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHEN NEEDED. IF YOUR BOYFRIEND TURNS PHONE OFF BECAUSE OF JEALOUSY PROBLEMS, AND IT JUST HELPS IF YOU NEED TO TEXT IN DISCUISE.
Pros
WELL I LOVE THIS APP SO MUCH WHEN MY BOYFRIEND WOULD GET INTO MY PHONE SERVICE AND TURN MY CELL PHONE OFF AND HE WOULD NOT TURN IT BACK ON. WELL HE DID NOT KNOW I HAD TEXT FREE AND STILL WAS ABLE TO GET AHOLD OF EVERYONE I NEEDED TO TALK TO,
Cons
WELL THE QUALITY OF AN ACTUAL VOICE CALL IS NOT SO GOOD ON THIS APP. AND YOU HAVE TO PLAY GAMES AND DOWNLOAD OTHER THINGS THAT ALLOW THIRD PARTY COMPANIES ON YOUR EMAIL AND PHONE.

This was a useful software experience, until it went unused, and I lost the number.
Pros
I like that it is free text messaging software, and that it lets me create a personal phone number (unlike web based texting that does not let you keep a number). I sometimes used this number to mask my personal phone number, for security reasons.
Cons
When I stopped using it for a month or so, I lost the number.

I enjoy using it to connect with others. It’s quick and easy to send a text message or make a call to solve a problem.
Pros
This is the easiest product/app to use. You can call or text and get your own number. The quality of the calls is okay and could be better. Texting and everything else is excellent! You can set up notifications as well.
Cons
One thing I would change is the call/audio quality. It can use some improvement. It’s hard to complain when it’s a free app. After your allowed time then you have to pay for minutes.
