Benefits of TextFree Plus

In addition to the standard TextFree features, TextFree Plus subscribers:

• Get to keep their number (no more fear of losing it!)
• Receive an ad-free experience.
• Have the ability to change their TextFree number daily.
• Can receive certain shortcode/verification codes (see below for details).
• Can use their subscription with TextFree Web.  

What's included in the subscription

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

1. Reserve your Number 

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

2. No Ads

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

3. Change your TextFree number 

With a TextFree Plus subscription, you have the ability to change your number more than once. For steps on how to change your number, click HERE. 

4. 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 info about validation texts and calls:

• 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.
  • 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.
