As long as you make or receive one answered call or send atleast one text per month, you will not lose your selected phone number. I also like that you can watch videos or ads to gain extra minutes to make calls to non-TextFree numbers. Incoming calls and incoming and outgoing text messages are always free.
I would definitely recommend this app for anyone who is looking for a Free WiFi calling and texting service. Hi there, thank you for the very thorough review. It's great to hear Textfree is helping you ward off telemarketers, save money with your paid cell plan, and keep in contact with your loved ones that don't have a cell plan.
As for your dropped calls, a lot of times these issues are linked to network strength. If this happens again, check to see if your connection is "Excellent". If it is, email us at reviews pinger. We'll look into what's going on. I've had this app for a few years now and it used to work great. But since the update where the app icon changed to the now "pinger" logo it has gone downhill.
Quit often when I try to open the app it crashes and I have to retry to open it several times. When it is open there is such a lag time from when I type to when it comes up on screen that I can quite often finish my typing before the first word appears on screen. Furthermore using the calling feature won't work with the earpiece speaker on my phone so every call has to be on speakerphone only. This is my second phone I have used this app on and the speakerphone only on calls is the same so it is not likely the phone but the app.
The lag problem is everywhere in this app not just in recognizing typing but combined with answering a call and waiting for the in call screen to come up to switch to speakerphone people have to wait for me to here them which is an annoyance with friends and family but down right obnoxious when the doctors office is calling me back and hang up before the app can "catch up" to turn on speakerphone.
I do not have regular service and this is my only number. If it were not for the fact everyone has this number I would delete it just out of pure frustration with it. I may still delete it and just go on in life without a "phone". Hey there, we're so sorry to hear that you've had so many problems with Pinger. If you can send us an email at reviews pinger.

Information Seller Pinger, Inc. Size Category Utilities. Compatibility iPhone Requires iOS Data service revenue including texting is still fairly small compared compared to voice, but it's carriers' main growth drivers.
A good chunk of that is from text messaging, which is very profitable because text messages cost carriers almost nothing to transmit. Meanwhile, Pinger isn't releasing any revenue figures, but says it has been profitable for several months now. Given that the company has 19 employees and pays roughly a dozen more for outside work, that isn't a small claim.
Across all apps on the Textfree platform, they have racked up 15 million downloads, and claim to have served well over million ad impressions last month, though paid downloads are a significantly larger source of revenue. The company also makes money from referrals and in-app purchases. For you. World globe An icon of the world globe, indicating different international options.
