Send free and unlimited messages
TextMe is a free social and communication application developed by TextMe, Inc. With this handy call and messaging tool, you will be able to freely send unlimited text, voice calls, photos, and video messages to any mobile phone number within the United States and Canada. In the same region, voice and video calls are free-of-charge. If your friends are users of this app, too, then you can create a group chat and relay conversations there.
Is TextNow available for iPhone?
Published as Text Me – Phone Call + Texting, this social networking app is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod—although it requires iOS 12.0 or later. Over time, the speed and performance of the app have been enhanced, so you can expect an improved user experience. For instance, you can now receive a notification once your message is delivered and/or read by your friend. Just remember to enable the push your notifications setting for this to work.
Aside from the US and Canada, you can also make calls to over 200 countries in the world. However, this can cost you a bit depending on the international call rates. The app also offers a monthly subscription if you wish to enjoy their premium services, with additional numbers provided. Payment will be processed through your iTunes account. After your subscription ends, it will automatically renew unless you turned off auto-renew in your account settings.
For US and Canadian residents, bear in mind that in order for you to get a free call, you must earn free credits first within the app—which can be gained from watching tons of ads. On the other hand, this communication utility does not support emergency or 911 calls. Furthermore, the free calls to numbers in the US are still subject to some limitations—thus, US citizens are recommended to check the app’s terms and conditions.
A great find
TextMe is a great communication app to have—especially for US and Canadian residents who want to experience sending messages, calls, chats, photos, and videos at no cost. This messaging tool also offers an international service with low-cost rates offered. With improved speed and performance, this is definitely a catch. However, it still lacks some features that could be helpful and has some limitations that are important for you to take into consideration.
