Been using TextMe Up Calling & Texts for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you get a new phone number to use for calls and texts, all for free. Pretty solid if you’re into that kind of thing.
Here’s what you do: you can sign up and get a new number, then use it to make calls and send real SMS texts to people. There’s also the option to add multiple numbers and switch between them, which is pretty cool. And you can make HD voice and video calls to other TextMe Up users – took me a while to figure that out but it’s useful.
Look, if you’re into communication apps or need a second number, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the ads can be annoying if you don’t pay – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.
