Want more awesome features plus CALLING?
Check out our new Pinger Android app!
 You can even log in with your Textfree account!

 

With Textfree Android, we give you the option to show your native texts (texts that come to your Android phone number from your carrier) in Textfree! This is totally optional and can be turned off if you prefer.

Not sure if you're texting with your native number or your Textfree number?

  • If you're texting with your native number, in your conversation view there will be a warning.
