TextFree: Second Phone Number for Negative User Reviews
✓ MisleadingNot actually free!.Version: v12.61.1
✓ ChargeThey charge you for having a number to receive verification codes which if this is a free service you should not be held hostage at $12 a month.Version: v12.58.1
✓ BahI’m sorry to.Version: 11.37
✓ PriceI left because the price is just too much. Wow!.Version: v12.51
✓ I cannot have a standby numberHello pinger, i am a huge fan of your app, TextFree I used it the first time and it was okay, in less than 2 weeks I had about 200 call units. I logged out my account from my iPhone, trying to login back I cannot. The app says my number has expired and incorrect password, I tried to recover my password through my verified email address it didn’t work out. I have been using same number to call and text friends in the United states, I deleted the app loaded it again to my phone but each time I get a new number, when I logout our of the app the number disappears and changes to a new one, and this is a routine thing that happen anytime I logout of the app and try to log back in. Even when I don’t logout but close the app, when I try to open it again the number changes. Pls try and fix it as soon as possible. This is my email. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks.Version: 11.55
✓ False advertisingDoesn’t actually offer what is advertised. Gives you option to cancel and a link to apple to request a refund, which isn’t for apps..Version: v12.53
✓ MisleadingThis will not give you a number for free that you can use for sms verification. It conceals sms verification pin codes unless you subscribe for $12.99 per month..Version: v12.55
✓ False informationI downloaded this app to possibly use it to communicate with online buyers since there are so many scammers. I ended up not using the app and I’ve only had it downloaded on my phone for about eight hours. I decided to delete it within the 24 hour period so I won’t be charged for something I didn’t use. However … they already charged me $9.99. I went to cancel subscription and it doesn’t even give me that option. It just says when it’s about to expire. So at this point I’m confused. So even if you cancel within the 24 hours you still have to pay the $9.99. Also … I hate with apps don’t tell you a price or give you all the information up front. So you go in blindly not knowing exactly what’s going on until all is completed. I’m going to contact apple and hopefully they can reverse this. Pretty uncool. I get they want to make money. But if you state you can cancel within 24 hours, then give that option. Don’t charge someone automatically. I won’t use this app so they are getting free money. Kind of shady if you ask me..Version: v12.25
✓ SpammyRESPONSE TO DEVELOPER ADDITION: The spammy emails I referenced literally have NO “unsubscribe” button; there’s a link to contact “customer support” and then some social media logos-that’s it. I’m not going to waste my time sending you screenshots of what you all can easily figure out yourself. *Maybe* you can claim technically one can unsubscribe from the emails that no one signs up for to begin with, but one has to figure out HOW first. FIRST REVIEW: Yes, this app will give you a phone number with a range of payment-for-service options ranging from “free”(ad based and limited calling), to paid-by-actively-watching-more-ads, to paid-with-real-money (no ads). The catch? You will NEVER get off their customer retention mailing list if you stop using the service or use it less than someone in marketing wants you to. It’s a CONSTANT (at _least_ once a day) flow of emails trying to play cutesy with a selection of animal photos reminding you to use their service. Sure, there’s an “unsubscribe” button, but it’s not going to stop them from sending more spam..Version: v12.33.1
✓ False AdvertisingApp specifically said “bypass sms verification for $14” Not a single site this number works, it’s read as VoIP in 99% of sites..Version: v12.57
✓ Reads all your messages and blocks codesFree version blocks verifications codes... I don't like that the app is clearly reading my messages.Version: v12.49
✓ Can’t even sign upBruh.Version: v12.59
✓ Used to be greatI used to survive on this app, but the free version keeps degrading. The ads used to be just that: ads. Now they run the show, popping up full screen whenever you open the app...which, in consequence, makes opening it a 30 second process (even if you just had it open and had bopped out to check something else). It is also iPhone-friendly-ONLY now, in that it doesn’t offer the landscape view for us iPad users, which is a major sadness. Thirdly, at one point, they used to have it so that only part of the conversations loaded (making it a quicker loading process), but now alllll of your conversations, in their entirety, load...which just makes it run slowly. I don’t know if anything except the ads are fixed in the premium version, but...the slowness of the app and its inability to go into landscape make me hesitate to use it nowadays, which is a major bummer, because I used to absolutely love this app!.Version: 11.85
✓ The ads make it near uselessI’ve been using this app since it first launched and it was great. Now, I understand that products need to turn profit but GREED makes the product sink itself. The ads are WAAAY too many and invasive too so to be able to use it you have to buy a subscription. But the subscription is WAAAY overpriced for what it is. I mean there are eSIMs out there that cost the same if not less, you can get an actual service for that money. (Tello no data $8/mo.) So it comes to a full circle where you just lose the will to try and stick with the app any longer and go out to look for something else. They need to keep the ads in check and offer realistic subscription options and the app would actually start making money. I know it would take time but how long before the few people who actually signed up realize that they taken advantage of and cancel their subscription?.Version: v12.55
✓ NothingTo see here just another scam! Not free & doesn’t work!.Version: v12.61.1
✓ Why verify when I pay monthly?I had this app for years and have been paying to keep my number going and now it’s saying to verify account when I been using it. I don’t see why I’m paying for something and it’s not working anymore! Parting ways, it really sucks because a lot of people and businesses have this number.Version: v12.63
✓ Look elsewhereI have use this Textfree app by Pinger for over three years. I pay for the premium service which costs me something like $15 a month, which is not at all cheap. However, if you want to have your number, remain the same, and not be plagued by constant ads. This is what you have to do. I am OK with that. As long as the service is quality and the user interface is kept up with an updated regularly. This fall I have been forced to delete and re-load this app about 10 times. Each time I do this I am also forced to change my number. This makes me look like a real fly by night gypsy, instead of a solid AAA rated business with 20 years of local experience. I love sending out the fifth email to all my clients saying “I am sorry, but my number has changed,… Again…. “. At some point they just delete me from their system and that is that. I am convinced I have lost several $3000 jobs because of this nonsense. If Pinger would reimburse me for all of this, I’d be ecstatic and would delete this review and sing their praises. Pinger,… Please get your updates out before your app crashes! I need to be reimbursed for my premium service at least..Version: v12.35
✓ Not freeThe free trial is not free you have to pay to see the first message..Version: v12.61
✓ Glitching & keeps changing my phone numberHi, so I have had textfree for years. I do have an original phone # but I use this so that my actual phone # doesn’t get spammed. As of yesterday, I tried using it to get texts to sign up for quotes & I literally watched it as it changed my phone number several times as I would open the settings, to see my #, go back & then go back into settings & it would be a different number. I logged out & back in & now it’s saying my account is inactive change my #, so I did, sent a text, & it still keeps coming up the same error. The reason I’m irritated is that the # I have given to also a few relatives that I am not 100% close to so I don’t want them calling & sending texts when either 1. I don’t want them or 2. I can’t respond or 3. I don’t want to respond, so now I have to figure out how to achieve a number that will stay again & “give them my new #,” by means of contact that I did not want to do. Also my # did not go inactive, I just sent a text a few days ago because I opened the app & saw a message to a phone # that I did not recognize as if somebody else had sent a message. Maybe I didn’t send one in time & it gave the number to someone else & they were having conversations but I also feel like that is invasion of privacy as I can see their texts still for say if that number was no longer mine but belonged to someone else..Version: v12.46
✓ Two Months of texts and callsI use this app to shield my new number from spam and garbage and for that it does the job. But I switched over all possible non-personal calls to the text free number including the public library, businesses and retailers I have rewards with, and even potential financial advisors that I plugged my name and number online and the website “finds local matches”. The text part of it is acceptable, even with the annoying ads, but incoming and outgoing calls are unbearable. I paid $1.99 for some certain amount of outgoing call time and I hear clicks and constant bad service type interruptions (I hear only every other word) to the point where I have to call back on my regular number. This happens 100% of the time I use the app for incoming or outgoing calls. I’m going to have to say goodbye to this app because of it. But for text I would say this app is satisfactory especially if you are trying to avoid Google. But overall, as is, it’s gotta go..Version: v12.14
✓ CodesWhy should I upgrade to get a CODE? This app sucks all they want is your money.Version: 11.90
✓ Constant emails about expiring numberI downloaded this app for my daughter as a starter until I get her on my phone plan. It was to be a way for her to contact me while she’s at school or home while I’m out. It works fine, however we recently started getting constant emails about the number expiring in 30 days if we don’t use it. The problem is that we do use it. I constantly text message her and she messages me at least once a week. It’s not inactive. So I’m not entirely sure why we are getting emails saying that the number is inactive. I’m guessing it’s their way of trying to get us to upgrade since we’ve had this app now for a few years. I’m not doing that. We’re just going to go ahead and get her a full cell phone plan because no matter how much you use it, they’ll just randomly give your number to someone else anyway..Version: v12.31
✓ TextFree DOES NOT receive Google Verification CodesGuys, TextFree is falsely advertising that you if pay for the upgrade the app allows verification codes to be received. This is false. I paid for the upgrade only to find out that Google/gmail verification codes will not except the TextFree phone number..Version: v12.54
✓ Text plus is not working for phone(sms) verification!Be aware, users! Text plus is not working for phone(sms) verification! I paid one month subscription and it doesn’t work for phone verification! They seem to claim the real phone number will be provided but it is not true! I requested for refund at the next day so please refund for the first month as well!.Version: v12.56
✓ Stop the begging!They keep begging to allow the. To track me across apps. Hey Pinger, get lost! There is bo reason to track people. Not tracking people do not prevent you from displaying lousy apps. Which makes my old review still true to this day. I’ve been using this app for something like more than 10 years or so. I’ve seen it grow from a dumb little app to what it is today. Unfortunately with dumb full screen ads it has gone down the path of cheap junk apps. I used to pay to remove ads when it was only a few bucks per year, but once they went to the monthly fee I stopped subscribing and stopped using the app as much. Now with the full screen ads I am seriously considering deleing the app. Sad but if there is one thing I am not willing to put up with is full screen ads. I was a paramedic for ten years and now I’ve been a patrol officer for three years. In all those years I’ve recommended Textfree and Pringer to thousands of people, but now that will stop and I will wait one or two updates to see if one of the developers regain some sense of common decency stop with the greed for more and more money. The app as not advanced much, if any, in years to justify the move to full screen ads..Version: 11.93
✓ Works well.. For a few daysI was looking for an app that would let me use the number for Twitter verification, and found this app that one of my friends has used before. It’s simple and easy to set up. You get free messages, but to unlock any verification codes you need a subscription. It’s about $10 per month I believe? Anyway, I paid it, no problem. The number worked fine and I was able to verify my Twitter easily. However, after about a week I opened the app again to copy and paste my number.. Only to be logged out. I tried all three login methods, as well as the “Forgot Password” options, but none yielded any results towards getting my account back. I cancelled my subscription through the App Store immediately, but it’s incredibly frustrating (and scammy) that I was only able to use the app for a few days, despite paying the subscription fee, before being mysteriously logged out of my account. I’m assuming it’s now deleted, because providing the only email I use for recovery has only led to the app telling me they can’t find my account. Now, the app isn’t letting me create a new account. It just.. randomly freezes and closes whenever I try. That was even more frustrating, because I was legitimately considering paying for the subscription YET AGAIN. TLDR: Great app for the most part! It gets the job done. However, be careful that your account doesn’t mysteriously disappear with your money like mine did..Version: v12.28
✓ Doesn’t workFor some reason texts never actually come through when sent. I just got a text from a friend that was sent two days ago. This app is garbage please there are so many better texting apps out there.Version: v12.52.1
✓ VPN block prevents usage/ no prorated amount if you want to cancel serviceI’ve been using this service casually for many years and finally decided to upgrade from the free version to the paid premium version last year. Aside from the occasional hiccup everything was fine until recently when my reserved number was automatically changing every time I logged into the app. I figured it was a temporary bug. Contacted customer service a few weeks after the problem began ( a few days after my 6 mo. Plan auto renewed) and was told the problem was with the use of a VPN. Problem persisted even once I turned the vpn off. Several emails later customer service removed the block that was causing the problem. I was advised not to launch app with VPN on. I explained that I hadn’t been able to use the service for X amount of time and asked for a refund. No refund was given. A week later I accidentally opened the app while on VPN and problem arises again. I tried to cancel my subscription but because I paid 6 months in advance for “premium service “ all I can do is change my subscription level to month to month which will only go into effect after the 6 months is up..Version: v12.31
✓ Not working for 2-step authenticationEven subscribing to plus plan did not help!.Version: v12.48
✓ MehIt’s good for texting but have to purchase minutes for calling. It’s not all free..Version: 11.39.1
✓ Can’t do telegramWasted 12$ only for them to tell me they don’t support telegram codes..Version: v12.56
✓ ScammedAfter 7 years of using this app and buying the yearly subscription no problems. I use it as a back up service and business line. Actually I rarely make calls from it unless I am somewhere that only has internet calling available . Never had any issues. Well after my last payment was made then the system logs me out. I tried several times to get back in. Finally I reached out sent and email and was contacted saying they shut my account down for abuse purposes and they cannot tell me what the abuse was and there is nothing they can do. I want to know how did I have abuse from a number that is meant more for these stores that always want a phone number. This was that number for me . Now if they checked the logs ,which I am told they can’t share what abuse was done , they would see I rarely talk on this service and mainly receive coupon codes and updates on the number. Of course no one can tell me how to get my refund, if my account was hacked. Someone some where should at least have sent an email or alert stating something suspicious was going on . Not just locking me out and still taking my money. So if there was a lower score than 1 star I would give it.Version: v12.44
✓ Not freeThe title is VERY misleading. its not free..Version: 11.75
✓ Great but a couple of things (PLEASE READThis app is good and i enjoy the unlimited texting. a couple of things though: 1) app is glitchy/slow. i’m trying to navigate to the home screen and i have to tap it a couple of times. also when i new message comes in, it takes a while to load. 2) time limit on calls is VERY annoying!! i’m trying to talk with my friends and family over the phone, and i have to say “i gotta go” because i am going to RUN OUT OF TIME. i’m trying to have an important conversation that you shouldn’t have to pay for! 3) PLEASE ADD A DARK MODE! please, please, PLEASE add a dark mode to the app! it will be so much for efficient and appealing! the light mode is not very good (my opinion and i’m sure others agree) 4) the ads get very annoying, it would be recommend to lower the ad amount, even though it might be out of your control. 5) random numbers keep calling me: make it stop!! every day, i’m constantly getting random calls, and it’s annoying cause i have to block and remove each one! other than that, i enjoy that you can change the pic for the home screen/convo screen and that you have your own phone number. i will love the app more if you listen to my requests, thanks for reading this! 😊😊.Version: v12.18
✓ What a pain this app isI download this app as a backup in case my phone dies, bad signal, or I’m using my iPad. The problem is the ads ( yes, I know they are there to keep the app free) but busy they pop up when you’re trying to answer a call, respond to a text or call some? When they appear it causes the app to crash. Either on my phone data or Wi-Fi the app is just so slow. I can’t even call someone because the “ connection “ is bad and the call disconnects. I get these random calls from all over the place from people that are calling for someone else, or spammers. The worst thing about about this app is that they say it’s “ Free” but it’s not. You have to watch videos for minutes and when those run out ( I think you get 3) and that’s it, you either have to buy minutes that run out so fast or complete offers that takes you to every different spammer website. Yes this app is horrible. Goodbye.Version: v12.18
✓ Not how it used to beThis app has some good features, but now days it’s really annoying. I get emails daily. I get random calls when only a few people have the number, and they didn’t give it out. When you go into the area to view your calling minutes, there’s ways to earn minutes that don’t even work. I’ve done 3 things recently that were supposed to give me a lot of minutes, and they never changed. I only have 12 and should have about 200. This is very frustrating for me, because their programs don’t work. Also, you used to be about to watch videos and get 2 minutes, now you only receive one. That’s a lot of long videos to watch to only receive 1 minute. 2 wasn’t ideal either, but it was way better than 1. I’ve been using Pinger/TextFree off and on for years and years. It’s just going downhill and is less reliable. My old account had 500 calling minutes cause it would actually work.Version: 11.38.3
✓ Scam and lieYou can’t use the number for free to receive a verification code you have to subscribe for it so basically a scam app.Version: v12.50
✓ Do not useNot free can’t even call or text for free why have the name free if there is a paywall for use why even make the app free just charge for the app and stop lying?.Version: v12.50
✓ Adds prevent the app from workingThe adds are so excessive that they stop the app from being usable. The adds cover the whole screen and won’t go away. Having a basic conversation is impossible. There are better free texting apps available that just post adds at the bottom of the screen..Version: v12.49
✓ Loyal customer for 7 years…then this happened 🤬I loved this app…it was my go to for a US number while traveling internationally. Then one day after 7 years using the same number my number stopped working. I was really confused. I looked at my account - I was a paid premium member and my number had changed. Not only that, when I looked at my new number it would change to another number everytime I logged into my account. I assumed the app got hacked. So I texted my old number and it came back saying that number was no longer in service. I replied Why? Another text came back saying STOP. I again asked Why via text. Another text came back saying #leave. I was furious. Not only had this app discontinued my number without warning, they were now telling me to leave while I was a paid customer. I contacted support which was hard to find their contact info and then took them days to get back. Finally after two weeks and a couple of email exchange they told me because I was abroad they didn’t have service there and it was a violation of the terms and agreements…but I had been using the app and number for 7 years without one problem. It’s has been very frustrating especially because that number is attached to all my personal accounts. I moved to Google Voice.Version: v12.30
✓ Not A Good App AnymoreI’ve seen countless people complaining about their issues with this app. Mostly that they’re able to send text messages but not receive them. And I’ve also seen that through my own efforts their response team for help is completely unresponsive. In a lot of places on the website you’ll see that they take a short time to respond, but in reality they take upwards of weeks, it’s been several weeks since I submitted my first request and I still have no response. Most other people cannot find responses, or solutions to their problems. They seem unwilling to respond anyone that is not buying credits. This was once a good app, really great for people who possibly lived in bad areas were their Wi-Fi was stronger than their cell phone signal. And were unable for whatever reason to use their actual cell phone services to contact other people. It used to be really great especially when you were trying to do multiple things at once, or you were unsure of someone having your real number. Now it’s not worth the amount of time it takes to download..Version: 11.4
✓ Lame business modelObnoxious advertising. Forced commercials. Stupid way to make money if you want people to give you good reviews..Version: v12.61.1
✓ I thought it’s freeIt’s not free.Version: v12.63
✓ Used to workI used this app quite a bit. The old version worked beautifully. There were ads, but they weren't intrusive. For some reason I couldn't transfer my old number to my new iPad so i downloaded this new abomination. I was hit by 2 ads immediately. I also cant find Where to re-add ANY contacts. The intuitive usage is hidden. I have an update to add to this review. Now that i have used it for a few weeks there is one HUGE NUISANCE that has been included in the update. The ads now replace some of your contacts, crowding out your numbers. How did the EVER allow this? Also, there are ZERO ways to delete them. Someone left me a voicemail in error and i am unable to get their erroneous call out of my contacts. There used to be an "erase conversation" button, which because you now must scroll through ads, has completely disappeared. Ive been using the new updates for some time now. I’m convinced the numbers have been sold, as i now receive a robocall every 30 minutes and obscene messages daily. I’m looking for a better app. I would never recommend anyone download this. They offer no way to block or erase incoming calls, causing your contacts to be lost far down the list. Its truly awful. The 2021 update turned the app sideways so now you can’t use it in the normal landscape position, causing you to be forced to use the keypad which is now half as large. It keeps getting worse..Version: 11.87
✓ Pretty bad.The ads are crazy! I would really like it to be a one time payment to get rid of ads, not a subscription. And I do NOT like the whole minutes thing. Also PLEASE make it so you can leave group chats! Sure you can delete the chat but then next time someone texts to it it just pops up again. I really think it could be a lot better. And it’s super glitchy and sometimes doesn’t send notifications so I miss messages. UPDATE: um so I had headphones in and went in the app, after listening to music so know my headphones weren’t the problem, and I heard a sound like a bunch of flies buzzing just while I was in the app though like what the heck that’s kinda creepy I want a explanation or I’ll delete this app Note: I’m getting tired of the purple, could you make the colors customizable? SPAM: y’all I have been getting calls from a bunch of random number idk. How the heck are they getting my number? Hmm? I’d like an answer please..Version: 11.96
✓ Not enough infoDoesn’t tell u how many minutes I have it how the adds work and it cost more than other apps..Version: v12.49
✓ It was better a while backThere are good things and bad about TextFree, but things are getting out of hand to destroy a fine app. I got this app back in the day to avoid extra charges from Verizon, when they were counting messages on the ios built-in texting app. The free app was never great. It would defeat the purpose to pay monthly to TextFree. I might as well pay Verizon. The fact that the app doesn’t screen rotate landscape is a huge setback, but I dealt with that. That’s on me. The entry block now goes off the page to the left, which requires a rotation to vertical to find it. Each update added more and more ads. The ads used to be contained in a single line on the bottom of the screen, now they totally obliterate the screen. This last update — that I did, I don’t always update — added full featured videos with loud sound! Developers—you’ve made a monster out of a mainly functional app. I’ve waited for the app to improve for years. To gain rotation at the very least. It’s so much worse now than it was a year ago, and fathoms more annoying than it was in the very beginning. Actively seeking an alternative. After all these years, I finally give up..Version: v12.53
✓ ProblemsDidn’t get a verification code yet really need I for WhatsApp Can u get back to me. Plz.Version: v12.57
✓ Was great, now I can’t use itI’ve been using this app on and off for years when budgeting down on phone bills temporarily, and I’ve never had any issues with it. I even had TextFree Plus. However, today I’ve realized that none of my outgoing/incoming calls are going through. I realized this while trying to make an outgoing call, so I contacted a friend to try to call my number to see if it would go through, alas, nothing. I turned my phone on and off again, same with Wifi. I have a full stable internet connection and am having no other issues with connectivity through other apps or internet access. I tried to call the number again on another line, and it wouldn’t even ring. I’m not sure how long this hasn’t been working, as the reason I was trying to make an outgoing call today was because I had been expecting a call back from a doctor’s office since last Thursday (it’s Tuesday). I went to go uninstall/reinstall the app because I’m all about troubleshooting. I went to go confirm that I knew my password by changing it before uninstall because I didn’t want to risk being locked out of my account, however, I can’t change it because it’s showing up as a server error/no connection if I select that or forgot password, so I’m at a loss of what else to try. I’d love to continue using this app and keep TextFree Plus, but if it doesn’t work I obviously can’t justify doing so..Version: v12.37
✓ Used to be great, now it’s just intrusive ads.As the title states, this app used to be great, but they did an update that slows it all down by displaying a huge ad everytime you go to the app to respond to a message . The old version had ads, a banner across the bottom and ads that would look like texts, but now it freezes the whole screen for a full page, intrusive ad that ruins the whole experience. Look elsewhere there are hundreds of other apps that have less ads and work better. UPDATE: after reading similar canned responses from this company regarding why they choose to continue intrusive ads, I strongly recommend ANY other texting app available. They will be FAR better. AND THEY SELL YOUR INFO TO SCAMMERS, THUS THE THOUSANDS OF ROBO CALLS. They give the typical greedy response “ it’s free ads are how we make money” they make plenty with the ads they had before, now introduced huge intrusive ones to “coerce” you into paying for their premium service...at that cost, just go to metro pcs. UPDATE 2: after more canned responses from them most seem very catty and pretty condescending rather than actually admitting mistakes of the company they also toss out “pandemic” excuses. Everyone seems to have the same issue, they made plenty of money from the non intrusive ads, before they had even less users...so I don’t buy that excuse for a second. With the latest update they also blocked texted verification for specific sites..Version: 11.76.1
✓ Glitchy, freezes, auto directs to safari/appstoreWhen I click the message it will often freeze up and I will have to close out the app, double click home, swipe up, and then restart the app literally 4-5 times before I can click one of the messages and it'll take me to the message. When I type it will often freeze up so I can type or mid typing it'll freeze and unfreeze so I'll type one part of a word and finish the last half of a word or two later and then I'll have to use auto correct and rewrite the couple words it froze for. Sometimes it will take me to the message and the box to text won't even be on the messaging screen and I'll have to close out and reload the app for it to go back to normal but then the when I do it freezes up and I have to close and reload it a couple more times to get it to unfreeze. Sometimes it'll take me to safari or the app store even if I didn't click the ads, and no my finger doesn't slip and accidentally click the ads, it just does it by itself sometimes. I'll sometimes have the text box glitched out at the very top of the screen so I can't see the other person's message, or the text bar will just be frozen 3/4s from the bottom inbetween the ad that's covering up half the screen and the top. Paying to get rid of the ads may help with the ad related glitches, but it won't help with the rest of the glitchyness with the app, my advice would be to GET ANY OTHER TEXTING APP!.Version: 11.50
✓ Was charged day after subscription canceled and deleted.I contacted your help desk, although I’m skeptical after this stunt,To request a refund. I usually use Google Voice and was locked out of my account. I reserved the phone number through text free and hadn’t even used it. That was about 4 days ago and yesterday when I regained access to my Google Voice the first thing I did was cancel my subscription in Settings in my iPhone and all look to be successful it was no longer there. Then today I get notified through my bank that I was charged by you to reserve the number and it is showing back up active in my subscriptions. And I know that I canceled the subscription correctly and it was gone. It’s only $4.99 and that isn’t the issue. The issue is I was charged after cancelling. If you were to charge me it should have been at sign up. Very fishy. And the transaction is pending. It’s not as though you charged days ago and now it hit. Please rectify this situation because it is wrong and bad business..Version: 11.69

✓ Do not Download. Terrible service.I am writing this review to tell you to choose a different texting app. I opted for the paid version for a while to reserve my number, et cetera and when I cancelled my paid membership and reverted back to the free version due to time off work due to surgery, I found that Text Free decided to actively SLOW DOWN the app because I wasn’t paying anymore. This company actively slowed down my phone at all times when this app was running, on purpose, because I stopped paying them money. This slow down affect did NOT exist before I stopped paying them money! It lasted for a few weeks and then miraculously disappeared! Do NOT do business with this company! Apple should NOT support terrible developers like this, but then again, apple has been sued before for doing the VERY same shenanigans with slowing down the phone in order to get you to buy a newer iPhone! Look it up! The Truth will set you free! Do NOT use Text Free! Thank you for taking the time to read this review, I hope you take it seriously. We have to stop supporting these terrible apps that cheat us like this!.Version: v12.23

✓ Not working for meI have used this app mostly for verification codes and being able to send images to classmates. I am a foreigner living in US and I dont need a sim that much because of my short stay as a student, I use WiFi mostly. If it wasnt that most of classmates uses app like telegram andthat app ask for phone numbers, I really dislike I have to pay for a month to be able to see verification codes. I dont wanna risk money and the service doesnt work after paying it, I dont make calls and I think it is unfair you have limitations with texting. If you wanna charge for codes, I think you would let us watch ads or charge for a week or something similar for verification codes. I suggest to give trial period of the monthly plan to be able to see if it really works because not everyone has a good WiFi and devices. I also dislike the images I send to classmates cant be seen in their phones and this one a feature I liked of this app. Not everyone needs a monthly plan for codes if they dont use unlimited calls and lots of students dont have too much money so we choose this kind of apps for needs that USA asks to verification or keep in touch with close people to us..Version: v12.5
✓ AwfulThought I loved it. Had it for 2 months, my friend just found out because she doesn't have international texting and we are in Canada and it's a US number, that she's been charged for each text... and $7 per picture message! Awful.Version: 11.30
