We’ve heard this question a few times, and thought there may be others who are wondering “What’s so great about phone numbers in Textfree?”
A texting number in Textfree is a HUGE leap forward:
- The obvious one: you get a real texting number! Textfree is the ONLY app that offers a real number.
- Because you get a real number, Textfree is themost reliable texting app in the store.
- Real numbers means your texting is as fast as REAL SMS.
- Textfree is the ONLY app where texts DON’T come from a weird number or email address.
- Textfree is the ONLY app that supports ALL US CARRIERS! (Yes, even the small local ones no one’s heard of.)
- Finally you can get a texting number without even having a contract with a carrier!
- We just announced that soon you’ll be able to make and receive ad-supported voice calls with your Textfree number. No carrier, no contracts! We’re still working out the details, but it’s coming this summer.
A phone number in Textfree is very exciting!

What’s so great about having a phone number is if your friend asks you “Do you have a phone?” and you say “No, but i have an ipod touch!” and they say “Oh well can I have your number?” you say “Sure.” Thats why having a phone number is so great.

Hey pinger Inc. I have a complaint for you guys why don’t you guys have a free calling app I think you guys should get one thanks e-mail me on the email I used

Guys,
Stop sending SMS on my real number notifying me that I will loose my number with pinger if I don’t use pinger (textfree) soon.
I am no longer using an iPhone and you guys don’t have an Android app yet. So I can’t use it.
I don’t want to pay for the unnecessary reminder SMSs you guys are sending.
Stop it now.
Thanks

I agree. I get some strange texts from Pinger on my real phone about people calling my Textfree number. This time, I had no warning before my number became inactive, just an SMS that it was. So now I have to send a new one out to everyone again.
How about an option to display the message as coming from my email address on other people’s phones? That way if I don’t use it within 30 days, I don’t have to start from scratch?

I love this app for my ipod touch, and I am sure I will love it all over again, when I can dump the other VOIP app I have to use the one from Pinger. Now if I could just get a pinger app for my blackberry… hint hint, nudge nudge. 😛

I love my pinger Text Free app. I use it for texting, but I also use it for people or places that I don’t want to have my “real” cell number to. If it could finally text and receive text’s to non-numbers. Other than that, it so super rocks. Thanks for a great app.
