Please fix this ### 1/5 — It’s not free *2026-02-23* They say it’s free but it not it’s all bs. I’m curious how many people did you pay to give you five stars no real people will. **Developer response:** We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience. We would be really grateful if you could send out the details using the “Contact Support” option from the side menu within the app and we’ll connect. ### 1/5 — Not at all free *2026-02-09, version 1.99.3* I just signed up and the only way I was able to choose a phone number would be to do a free trial then 14.99 per week. Nope nope nothing in this app is free ### 1/5 — Misleading false app name and information on app *2026-02-07* App name “Free Text” implies it’s a free texting service. Then on app shows “get your free number” which then charges $15 regardless of any number you select. So there is no free number - and right off the bat reflects unlrealiable and deceitful business practices to attract costumers. Additionally $15 is not worth thsi VoIP service. You can get unlimited talk text and upto 30GB high speed data from many carriers. **Developer response:** We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience. We would be really grateful if you could send out the details using the “Contact Support” option from the side menu within the app and we’ll connect. ### 1/5 — False Advertisement *2026-02-05* Nothing is FREE about this app!

Plain and simple. I understand apps need to make money so its ok if they add a paid tier. But if you wanna call yourself “Free Text” you have to have at least a free tier. This app has no free tier.

None of my messages are sending . They all said fail . Reached out to support team . No answer ### 1/5 — Expensive *2026-08-06* How are the pictures gonna say “free number” and “no bills” then charge $15 A WEEK when the other better apps (which are free for basic versions) only charge $10 per month. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-08-04* Paid $15 and texts don’t even go through. Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-01* There is nothing free about this app you can’t call or text for free ### 1/5 — Not free it’s a scam *2026-08-01* Not free it’s a scam ### 1/5 — Free? *2026-06-09, version 2.1.1* Free or 15$ which is it cause it’s not free ### 1/5 — Free? Not even close *2026-05-24* With a name like Free Text it was a bit of a shock that that they wanted $15/month to send the first message. I could add another line to my phone plan for less than that and without the deception. Since even the name of the app is a lie, it’s a huge red flag regarding other other ethical concerns with this app. Don’t waste your time. **Developer response:** We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience. We would be really grateful if you could send out the details using the “Contact Support” option from the side menu within the app and we’ll connect. ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-05-24, version 2.1.1* Not free ### 1/5 — Lies *2026-05-12* Nothing is free only free is to download the app that’s it. Everything else is overpriced. They want you to pay for a free number 14 $15 a week. Are you freaking crazy? **Developer response:** We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience. We would be really grateful if you could send out the details using the “Contact Support” option from the side menu within the app and we’ll connect. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2026-03-28, version 1.99.4* The app itself is a scam honestly. Don’t download or spend your money. Normally with text free apps they only charge for no ads & to keep your number. This one tried to get me. It allowed me to send about 3-4 messages then made me do a 3 day free trail. After that I sent a text & a photo then tried to send another message it said I pretty much used all my free trial benefits & would have to pay $13.99 for a few extra days. The days really don’t mean anything because it limits how much you text anyway so it’s definitely a scam ! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Я хочу телеканал Дисней стары подключите пожалуйста *2026-06-11* МТС ТВ 📺 **Developer response:** Thank you for your review ### 5/5 — 4.5 stars *2026-05-12* I got restricted from it.
