Please note: Number changes are limited and depend on your subscription status, recent activity, and account history.

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).

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. 

5. Spam Filtering (iOS only)

TextFree Plus subscribers also gain access to spam recognition and filtering, helping you to easily identify and avoid calls that may be spam. For more information on the spam filtering feature, click here.

Important about subscriptions: 

• The weekly subscription is not available for iOS customers at this time.
• If you change your subscription length (e.g., move to a 6-month or yearly subscription from monthly), you will be charged for the NEW subscription price IMMEDIATELY. Because of this, we recommend not making the switch until your renewal date (to avoid being charged for the new subscription pricing until you are ready) 

Android customers:

6 and 12-month options are NOT available for Android at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience. 

Note: You can check your TextFree Plus subscription renewal date at any point by following the steps above.
