Pinger

Pinger offers a service app called TextFree available for androids or iPhone. Upon registration, you can pick or be assigned a phone number in whatever area code you choose. The app can then be used for text or phone calls. The free version has ads, and gives 60 minutes of talk time with unlimited texting (you still have to pay for SMS service). You can also earn additional free minutes by clicking on the ads.

This service is cool if you want to mask your phone number & don't want anyone to know your real number, because the recipient can only see the textfree number. You still need cellular or wireless service to use it.

This app was totally fine until it stopped sending my messages and I could no longer receive messages either,I tried redownloading it multiple times and it keeps telling me to get a new number but right after I do it still won't send and it says the same thing.

I have used the app for 10 years but on 10/11 it completely stopped sending or receiving texts. I can open the app and see old threads, but that's it. It is happening on the phone app and when I sign in on the web. When I sent an inquiry to pinger.com, I received a reply that I am not authorized to use the app outside the U.S., but I am well within the U.S. Huge mess.

This website is crazy and classy
I love the fact that even if your in UK and you want to text your friends in U. S for free you can easily use this website to make an account and send unlimited messages... really KOOL

Textfree wont let me text or call anyone it wont let me take text or calls from anyone everytime i try to use it it stops so i did what you said and tried to uninstall it and reinstall it but its still doing it so fix it

I can't have the access to requires 14.0 on my iPhone 6 so this bring to review the problem I am having
