What is Text Free: Call & Text Now?

Text Free is a free, WiFi based app that allows users to text and call other mobile numbers.


This app is available in the App Store and the Google Play Store for download and is rated for users 12 years of age and older. This features both in-app purchases and advertisements.


This WiFi calling and texting app allows users to participate in all of the cellular interactions you would expect from a cell phone, without requiring a phone or mobile network.


Users are able to select a custom phone number, choosing from available numbers they can pick something memorable like numbers that spell out their name. Text Free allows users to call, text, participate in group chats and even send photos all through the app as long as the device is connected to WiFi.


In- app purchase range in price from $1.99 to $18.99 for certain features and more calling minutes.


Several reviewers rave about this app and how simple it is to use. Additionally, they note that unlike many other apps you are able to use Text Free in a significant manner without being charged, and you can watch ads to get additional free calling minutes. This app was developed by Pinger Inc. which has created over 120 million phone numbers, allowed over 100 billion free texts to be sent and has seen over 3 billion free calling minutes get used.

Is Text Free: Call & Text Now safe for my kids?

Text Free is a WiFi calling and messaging app that allows users to have cell phone capabilities while connected to WiFi. This app is safe for older kids and is best for children ages 12 and older with some parental supervision. 

Text Free allows users to obtain a free phone number to text, call and group chat using only WiFi. There is no age verification required when downloading Text Free or when setting up a phone number. Text Free is similar to several other apps that allow users to call and text via WiFi, such as WhatsApp and HeyWire.

Issues with this app can be reported to the developer by emailing support@pinger.com.  This app is safe for older kids to use, however parents should be aware that kids can contact whomever they like and can share photos with other users and in-app purchases can also be very costly.

Although this app is not very different from many other messaging and WiFi calling apps available, parents should take into consideration the various ways that children and other users can put this app into practice.
