Textfree

Overall it's cool to use you get a free local number to reach out

PROS

If I cant afford to pay my phone bill that month. That I have an option to use this app and call and text anyone for free

CONS

That you have to play games or watch videos just to get credit once you run out of free minutes. I dont always have time

Text ME on TextFree!

PROS

One of my most favorite features is simply the sign-in process because once I create my account I can officially use that log in information to use on pretty much every single one of my devices. It's definitely less stress trying to find numbers and zero hassle with trying to find contacts that I use for TextFree itself; just give the app access to what it needs to fully operate and VOILA!

CONS

The ads are NO JOKE; I feel like it creates a bit of a buffer when trying to open and close TextFree and while texting and receiving texts.

Reason for choosing TextFree

It's "new" as far as I'm concerned.

Reasons for switching to TextFree

I had to pay for this app after 7 days; while still having to view ads in order to use the service plus getting occasional suggestions for survey's as to the quality of the service. I wouldn't mind doing the any of the above IF the service was FREE in exchange for all of our (the customer's) efforts.

No support & Big Unresolved Bug in App

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.

TEXT FREE APP

I LOVE IT. IT IS HELPFUL IN MANY WAYS. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD YOUR CELL BILL FOR THE MONTH IT ALLOWS YOU TO STILL COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHEN NEEDED. IF YOUR BOYFRIEND TURNS PHONE OFF BECAUSE OF JEALOUSY PROBLEMS, AND IT JUST HELPS IF YOU NEED TO TEXT IN DISCUISE.

PROS

WELL I LOVE THIS APP SO MUCH WHEN MY BOYFRIEND WOULD GET INTO MY PHONE SERVICE AND TURN MY CELL PHONE OFF AND HE WOULD NOT TURN IT BACK ON. WELL HE DID NOT KNOW I HAD TEXT FREE AND STILL WAS ABLE TO GET AHOLD OF EVERYONE I NEEDED TO TALK TO,

CONS

WELL THE QUALITY OF AN ACTUAL VOICE CALL IS NOT SO GOOD ON THIS APP. AND YOU HAVE TO PLAY GAMES AND DOWNLOAD OTHER THINGS THAT ALLOW THIRD PARTY COMPANIES ON YOUR EMAIL AND PHONE.

Reason for choosing TextFree

I DID NOT CHOOSE TEXT FREE OVER ANYTHING ELSE I USE IT FOR WHEN I AM IN NEED OF ANOTHER WAY TO TEXT OR USE MY PHONE.

Vendor Response
