The app's functionality hinges on its free ad-supported model. Users can text and call other textPlus users without limits, and call standard North American numbers using earned or purchased credits. For receiving automated SMS codes—a critical need for online verifications—the service generally works reliably. However, user reviews indicate occasional frustrations with account suspensions, which can disrupt access to that assigned number. The interface includes standard messaging features like group chats and media sharing. While the free tier is functional, consistent calling to non-app users or seeking an ad-free experience requires navigating in-app purchases. For a cost-free solution to manage online footprints, textPlus offers a practical, if sometimes inconsistent, tool.
Key Features
I've always used this service for my cell phone calls and text with all the bells and whistles and it's great. I use the number it gave me for all my app sign-ups so I don't get spam on my real phone.
