Report an issueFREE CALLING + TEXTING APP for both the US and Canada. Choose your own local number for FREE. Others force some random number on you and make you pay for it!
REAL PHONE NUMBER INCLUDED Get your own real phone number that you can use to call and text any phone number, including landlines, in the US and Canada, even if you don’t have a calling plan. Your friends don’t need Textfree to receive -- they don’t even need to have a smartphone.
TEXTING IS UNLIMITED; EARN MINUTES FOR FREE OUTBOUND CALLS As always, texting is totally free and unlimited. Incoming calls are free. You get 10 free minutes to start, and then you earn minutes for additional free outbound calls. And if you run out of minutes, it's easy to buy super cheap minutes.
TURN YOUR IPHONE, IPAD OR IPOD TOUCH INTO A FREE PHONE Textfree turns your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch into a free phone with unlimited FREE texting to the US and 35 other countries. Incoming calls, and Pinger-to-Pinger calls are always free. Whoever said nothing in life is free hasn’t tried Textfree.
CUSTOMIZATION WITH UNIQUE WALLPAPER FOR EVERY CONTACT Customize your text conversations with unique wallpapers for every person in your phone. You pick the picture, and we turn it into the background for your conversations.
GREAT WHEN YOU’RE TRAVELING ABROAD Download Textfree and send free texts from anywhere in the world as long as you have a data connection. Find free WiFi at your hotel, a restaurant, even on a train.

MORE THAN A MESSENGER When your friends have Textfree talking and texting gets even better. The calls are in HD, so they sound great. And you and your friends get unlimited free calls (talk as long as you like) and unlimited free texts (goodbye 160 character limit!) to and from one another, anywhere in the world.
PACKED WITH ADDITIONAL FEATURES • Call or text for free back to the US and Canada from anywhere in the world when you have a data connection or WiFi • Facebook contact photo sync • One simple view for texts, calls and voicemails • Know the instant your texts are read • Customized voicemail • Block numbers, if needed • Log in securely from any device • Group addressing • Send hi-res pics • Choose from zillions of ringtones and text tones • Connect via Bluetooth if you’re on an iPhone

8 of 15I've been using this for 5 years now... great app... never any problems .
This used to be the best texting app. Now it doesn't notify for any texts ever and the ads are more obnoxious then EVER. Worst of all though is they don’t allow verification codes to be sent to it anymore. The whole point of an app like this is to get verification codes sent to it instead of your main phone number. Now they’re trying to squeeze every drop of money from you by forcing you to buy a subscription. Avoid this app at all costs. It’s just a mess. It’s golden days was way behind it.
Good connection. work just like a regular phone
Now it constantly crashes. I hope they fix it.
I LOVE all the stickers and unlike text now if you don't use your phone number for 2 weeks they take It away and here it's a month that's allot so this is the BEST TEXTING APP EVER😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Love it
Evertime you open the program it chang the number automatically
I love the app. Easy to use and great for keeping in touch with my family and friends. Had a minor glitch though recently. Notifications, badges banners alerts stopped working. Had to delete and re download app. All working well again. It's great I didn't lose my minutes. Still love the app.
