Text Free: Second Phone Number

What Text Free does

Text Free: Second Phone Number gives you a separate phone number for texting and calling from your Android phone. It suits people who want to keep work, online buying, job searches, dating, or other contacts away from their personal number. You can use the second line on your existing device rather than carrying another phone.

Useful for a separate line

The app combines messages and calls in one place. It supports individual conversations and group messages, and messages can include photos, GIFs, PDFs, and emoji reactions. That makes it a practical choice for casual conversations or for keeping a distinct number for a side job, freelance work, or school-related contacts.

• Get a separate number for calls and texts.
• Keep personal and work communication apart.
• Send text messages with supported media and documents.
• Use the service from your current Android device.

How it scores

Text Free carries an average rating of 4.447558 out of 5 from 580,643 reviews. That places it in the A band: a clear pass with strong user approval, though not quite at the top grade. Its scale is also substantial, with 50,000,000+ installs.

Who should consider it

This is a good fit if you need a second number without managing a second handset, or if you want a buffer between your private number and people or services you do not know well. It is less relevant if one phone number already covers all your calls and texts. The app is published by Pinger, Inc in the Social category.
