> 
> **Pros**: It's free like its name. It's easy to use.
> 
> **Cons**: The advertisements. It could be invasive or inappropriate.

-----

### "Privacy nightmare" — 1.0/5

> **Nicolas** | *18 March 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Free, but not deserving of payment since it is spyware.
> 
> **Cons**: The company monitors texts, and probably calls, so no privacy.
> 
> Lack of privacy is unacceptable. Why use spyware?

-----

### "Textfree essential" — 4.0/5

> **Eric** | *18 February 2025* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It allowed me to freely communicate and text even without cell service.
> 
> **Cons**: Had a bit of katency issues when connecting calls.
> 
> This was my go to texting app for years . There is a lack of stable cellular service where i live, and being able to still call and text via wifi has been outstanding

### "Text free is a life saver" — 4.0/5

> **Nicholas** | *10 January 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I don’t know how many times I’ve been without reliable cell service provider or just been plain broke and TextFree is the most hassle free way to get a dependable phone phone number that’s available practically anywhere and it’s free.
> 
> **Cons**: The option to get a verification text was kind of a let down so I couldn’t use it to verify emails or log ins however now with the premium version that amenity is provided
> 
> Excellent\! I’ve had to use this app multiple times over the years. Easy as signing up with your email and picking a number. Sometimes a previous number I’ve used will be an option and my old messages are actually still saved so that’s kind of neat.
