This started as a cool app for backup. But now they've changed their plan. It was free wifi calling "for free." Now you have to watch videos to receive 1 or 2 minutes worth of free calls, it was unlimited initially. They had a free and a paid plan. Like I said, I wanted to use the app for backup when I don't have service, like now. Would have gladly paid for the plan in the future. Not so sure now. It was cool the way it was set up before.
Reviews for Text Free: Calling & Texting
← Back to Text Free: Calling & TextingWhen I got this app I was delighted because I had gotten an easy number to remember, no invoice which is great, and the calls were ok. I decide to subscribe to get more benefits, it was already dropping calls and I thought that the subscription the drop calls would stop but . . . No, they did not. I tried customer service and their suggestions but. . Still the drop calls are still problem has been resolved. At this point I would like to have them provide internet service to solve the problem.
I'm really disappointed with your updated App. I couldn't receive messages or voice mails since you modified the app with adding more restrictions. I couldn't even receive calls. If I try to sign up for a new account, it always shows an error. Being user of this app for a long time, I'm now leaving this app to find a better option. If you don't fix sign up error issues and restrictions, you will lose many of your users.
Unreliable garbage, do not expect to keep your number, even if you're diligent about keeping it active and live in one of their supported regions. I'd had a number for several years and made sure to keep it active. They randomly removed it from my account and support was useless. They told me I didn't live in the US or Canada, despite me having always been in the US, and when I asked for an explanation support gave no response. Use a different texting app, better choices are out there.
I use text free because I happened to get a great number that's easy to remember and as far as texting goes its a pretty decent app. It allows you to send videos up to 100 seconds long which is considerably longer than most messaging apps.. However, it might have the word "voice" on the end but you do not want to try to make or answer an actual phone call. In spite of my buying minutes the calls are always either disconnected or I can't hear the caller or they can't hear me.
Unless I'm very close to my router, my calls are pretty much intelligible. I also hate how I can't turn off the annoying tip texts, despite paying for a subscription. There's also not really any customization options. Leaving you kinda stuck with what they decided was best looking or best functioning. Besides all of this, it works pretty well for texting. Will be looking for a different app once my subscription ends.
Been using this app for almost a year and while there are some problems, I like it. The text works better than the calling. When you call people, sometimes they can't hear you clearly and when they call you, calls can get dropped. I like the fact that there is a voice mail feature and getting minutes is easy. I have not paid to keep my number, but people call and text me regularly so it stays.
I really like this app. I'm glad it will let you call and text people as much as you want with no worry about not being able to like a lot of other "free calling apps" as long as you aren't inactive with your free number for 30 days! It does have ads and they can be distracting when texting because it might make your keyboard glitch a little because the ad would pop up randomly. Overall, I reccomend 👍 .
It's great for texting, that's about all. The individual persons I was trying to talk to could hardly make out what I was saying. You can't send a few pictures at once.. only one at a time. And the picture quality goes way down, it absolutely ruins the pictures sending through sms. And you can't send a video, at all. Oh please integrate video calling into this app .. The whole app needs improving..
I've been using this app on an off foe awhile now. It's very easy to use an to sign up . It's nice it gives a lot of choices for phone numbers . The only thing is that if you use the app all the time it won't register to call or message . It also will drop calls . Very upsetting if calling an been on hold for 20 to 30 min . Then finally you talk to a real person an you hi my name is an the. The phone call drops . Then you get to start over an hope it works .. I gave it 3 stars hope you fixit.
Honestly I preferred this app over many other texting and calling applications. Although, the amount of ads that still pop up after sending a message, making a call, or even looking through out my message conversations is overwhelming for me and my Android. I am frustrated as I buy minutes so I can make calls and support you. I'd love to rate five stars but the ads are extremely irritating especially when it's urgent. I'm sure all of you have had urgent messages or calls received or and been trying to make urgent calls or messages. Imagine if you weren't able to make those calls or messages due to the ads slowing you down to the point the app will crash or freeze. Thank you for reading this, I hope you can do something about the ads. But everything else is cool I don't ask for much as a consumer dang it! Lol.
This is a pretty useful app that is especially great for texting or calling internationally. I would give it 4 to 5 stars, but the ads can be a bit much at times and it needs a really great connection to make calls, so often calls don't go through when you need them too. Texts are fairly reliable though- this is my go to "phone broke"/"out of service" texting app.
I was sad at the thought of losing my phone when I switched to another carrier. Then I discovered Text...free (is this text free I'm reviewing?) and now I can use my phone again as long as I have an internet connection! No really, it's cool, the only markdown is because of the overwhelming numbers of ads that sometimes you can't even seem to navigate out of. That irks me.
This free text and call app is my favorite. Its really free to use and it's cheap to pay for the upgraded version so that you can use it to verify accounts and things online. Plus I've had the same number on it for a while now and so that's really helpful because it's offered me a number that I can use when maybe I can't afford my phone bill and it doesn't make me change my number all the time so that's super important when trying to stay connected with people when your finances àre tight.
My phone almost never rings when I get a call on my number, then when it does ring, it's like a half second long before kicking into voicemail. As you can imagine, super annoying. Oh, and it doesn't let you port numbers out, kinda ridiculous. These fixes would definitely land 5 stars and me telling everyone about this app across all social media...
Pretty bad...tons of bugs. If you're another app calls out and this app is set as the default phone app it is 75 percent callout. If you need to call the same number back to back - the second time there will be no number on the keypad displayed. If you're using earbuds....good luck. Literally hit or miss if the other party will hear you, but you can hear them....support says to uninstall and reinstall - this does not work. Again, routing calls from apps to this app is atrocious at times.
This app does become a free to talk and text for free , as it states in the description of the app and all of the bells and whistles, also at the end of it describing everything that seems so fantastic and free. It also says to upgrade to the apps plus premium account for better use of this app. But after I opened it up to begin everything that you guys ask anyone to do for permission settings/ it says;( But wait there's more to do before you can use it, you can't skip the page that says that to
There's a ton of apps that claim they are free texting and calling over Wi-Fi, and I've tried most of them. This "Text Fee: Calling and Texting" app has no gimmicks, and is actually free. As long as you have an internet connection of some sort, you can make all the calls and send all the texts that you want to for free. There's no trial periods and you don't need any sort of payment method to start and use your account. Highly, highly recommended!!
all I have noticed is either the phone won't produce a sound when receiving a call, or it just won't work whatsoever when trying to call out. blasted with ads continuously. the time that it actually functions like it's supposed too, seems to be a very small window. it says better, faster, and more reliable now... when compared to back in like 2011 or so... I'd have to say NO WAY. basically just a disfunctunal ad machine now. the ads work every time, but the service...hardly
So I just tried to use the app and my account was blocked for 'violating terms of service' and when I looked at the three main reasons that could happen none of them applied to me. When I contacted customer support for it they wouldn't give me a reason for them blocking my account for 'security' reasons. I could barely get a number because every time I tried it kicked me out and tried to make me get a new one. Not very good. I'll probably use something else from now on. Customer service was nice
