Text Free Unlimited: Probably The Best Free Texting App For The iPhone/iPod Touch

Okay, let me start out by saying Text Free Unlimited isn’t actually free, the app itself cost. There is a free version (text free: lite), but I have to say, after trying them both, the paid version is by far the better and worthy choice. If you don’t mind ads, and the occasional bump in the road, go for the free (lite) version. If you want to avoid AT&T’s highway robbery texting cost, or text with confidence on your iPod Touch, then get the paid version of this great app. For $5.99 (renewable yearly), Text Free Unlimited offers sms texting that actually gets to the person you are texting. Better and more importantly, your iPhone or iPod Touch will alert you when you receive a text, a claim that many free App Store sms apps promise, but few if any deliver.

You may have noticed that I used the word (probably) in the title. I say probably because I happen to think that GV dialer and Google Voice Mobile are the best, but you must have a Google Voice subscription to take advantage of them, and GV Dialer was crushed by Apple. Text Free Unlimited is in my findings the next best thing when it comes to sending and receiving text for free on your (i) device. You will have to set up a text free account that gives you an email address. This address is then used as your account, allowing you to send and receive as though it is email.

I have been using the app for about a month now and have been very happy with it. The addition of push alerts since 3.0 came on the scene, puts Text Free over the rest. The app, even though you have an email address, acts just like your normal sms application. Same restrictions apply, but without the cost, which for iPod Touch users, is heaven sent, and for iPhone users, deserves a mention in your nightly prayers.

    Well your girl prob doesn’t get them probably because she may have asked her cell phone company to block text from email or for short numbers, just tell her to call her cell phone provider and see if she may have that service blocked

    I have two questions. I’m thinking about getting an iPhone, but only if I don’t have to pay the outrageous prices on texting. I already have this TextFree app on my iPod touch. I was wondering if I get this app on an iPhone, will the number for the app be the number for my actual cell phone, or do I need to pick a different number? And also, do I need wi-fi to use this app even on the iphone? And if you do, can someone suggest an app that doesn’t need wifi?
