Can people see my name?

Non-TextFree users

No.

For people who do not have a TextFree or Pinger account, they will NOT see your name or any other account information (when you text them, or if they try to search for you in the app or on the Help Center). 

TextFree users

Maybe (it depends on whether or not they have a name associated with their TextFree account).

Once a conversation has started with another TextFree user, a name may populate instead of the phone number, whether or not you have the contact saved.

No other account information is visible (such as email, username, etc). Only the registered name may be visible to a TextFree/Pinger user should they enter your number in their app. 

To change your registered name, please visit this article for instructions. 

Items to note: 

• TextFree does not have a "directory search/lookup" tool in the app, Web, or Help Center to search by username, email, number, name, etc.
  • The registered name may be visible to TextFree users (more info above)
