TextFree Reviews
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.
Seemed like a great service and the concept of a text number to use for business marketing is appealing.
Pretty easy user friendly user application to use for texting/calling.
Texting and everything else is excellent. You can set up notifications as well.
Cons
I tried all the trouble shooting possible on my end and nothing works.
When I stopped using it for a month or so, I lost the number.
After your allowed time then you have to pay for minutes.
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.

Vendor Response
"Convenient wifi texting "
Overall: 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.
"No support & Big Unresolved Bug in App"
Overall: TextFree App keeps, during calls forcing the speakerphone on and I have been trying to reach out to them for a year now and they never respond. I tried all the trouble shooting possible on my end and nothing works. I can lay my phone on the table with out even touching it and the speaker phone turns on and off causing my ears to burst with pain. Contacting Samsung next but I really think it has to do with the developer of the app and maybe google....
Pros: Makes calls just fine but sometimes I do not hear it ring on incoming calls.
