What's included in the subscription

1. Unlimited calling 
2. Reserve number
3. No ads
4. Change your TextFree number
5. Shortcode/verification support*

1. Unlimited Calling 

This feature gives you unlimited calling, meaning you no longer need to earn or purchase minutes to make calls. 

Note: The same calling rules apply for TextFree Plus as they do with anyone using the app with earned or purchased calling minutes.  

For more information on calling in TextFree, please visit our Help Site articles:

• International Calling
• Calling FAQs

Note: A TextFree Plus subscription does not include a mobile data plan; it is a VoIP Operator app that uses WiFi and/or your carrier data plan to function. 

2. Reserve your Number 

Keep your TextFree number permanent without the worry of losing your number due to inactivity with a TextFree Plus subscription. 

3. No Ads

Your TextFree app will be free of ads with a TextFree Plus subscription. 

4. Change your TextFree number 

With a TextFree Plus subscription, you have the ability to change your number more than once. To change your number within the app: 

1. TextFree Settings.
2. Tap Account Info.
3. Tap the three dots next to your TextFree number (far right-hand side).
4. Tap Change TextFree Number.
5. Tap Continue (to confirm the number change process).
6. You can then choose a new number (and search for specific area codes etc).

5. Shortcode/verification code support 

With a TextFree Plus subscription, you can use your TextFree number as a way to validate registrations with various entities (where this option is unavailable with a TextFree "free" account).

Note: You can also receive shortcodes via TextFree Web if you prefer to use your computer for Web-based texting. 

Important:

• TextFree doesn’t limit the types of phone calls you can receive. However, certain companies may not allow you to use your TextFree number for verification, thus you may not receive the code.
  • Note: Telegram shortcodes are not supported with a TextFree Plus subscription.
• This is not something that is imposed from our end, so we recommend contacting the service provider who is sending the verification texts to see if they support TextFree phone numbers.
