Easy fix!
First, make sure you are logged in to Textfree Voice + VM. (If you’re still logged in to the old version of Textfree, you won’t get your voicemail notifications.)
You’ll also want to make sure you have Notifications set to “ON” in Settings. Go to your Settings app (not in Textfree) then Notifications. Scroll down to Textfree and make sure Alert Style is set to either “Banners” or “Alerts”.
You’ll never miss another message again!
Don’t have Textfree Voice + VM? Get it free in the iTunes App Store.

I have a MAJOR QUESTION !!! I’m in Mexico and I wanna text my friends in the USA but I’m scared if I text them from the app that it will charge them as text messages from Mexico that are like 50 cent each ! Does it charge them as Mexico text messages or as if I was at home texting them frm the app ??????
Please answer ASAP !!
Thank you 🙂

Textfree only gives out US phone numbers, so you can use the app anywhere in the world and your friends in the US won’t be charged for international texting! Pretty cool, huh?

Make sure you verified your email address in the auto-reply from Support! Sometimes it gets stuck in people’s spam boxes D:

I was wondering if I text my friends with the Pinger provided number which is also the same area code as my friends will it charge them if they have textig in their data plans?
July 6, 2012 at 4:02 pm
well people have been leaving me voicemails and i haven’t been receiving them I’ve deleted the app and downloaded it again and i still dont get voicemails. What do i do?
July 24, 2012 at 7:07 pm
How do you check the voicemail on the updated Pinger? My friend said she left a message and I can’t see it. I just see a missed call. Do I need to have the textfree + voicemail on my ipod at the same time as Pinger?
July 25, 2012 at 9:51 am
No need for extra apps! Here are instructions on how to listen to voicemails in Pinger: http://pinger.zendesk.com/entries/21765497-how-do-i-check-my-voicemail
