App Feature
Text Me: Second Phone Number gives you a real US/Canada phone number for free texting and calling over Wi‑Fi, plus MMS/group chat, voicemail, call forwarding, number lookup, customizable tones/backgrounds, and privacy-friendly burner numbers. It supports multiple numbers on one device, optional international calling via credits, and can turn a tablet into a calling/texting device.
Verdict
Verdict: A capable, ad-supported second-number app with strong Wi‑Fi calling and texting in the US/Canada, best if you’ll pay to lock your number and want simple reliability over bells and whistles.
Who is it for
Best for:
- People who need a reliable second number for work, marketplaces, or privacy.
- Wi‑Fi-only users who want free US/Canada texting and calls.
- Small businesses or solopreneurs separating personal and business communications.
Not ideal for:
- Anyone who needs carrier-level reliability for emergencies or poor Wi‑Fi environments.
- Users outside the US/Canada expecting unlimited free texting and calling.
- People who dislike ads or subscription management to keep a number.
Real-world User Experience
Users like it:
Consistently praised as a lifesaver when carriers fail or devices are offline; clear call quality and fast, reliable texting over Wi‑Fi; long-time users report stability and minimal bugs; good value upgrades (no ads, caller ID, call forwarding, keep your number); works well for separating business and personal calls; SMS verifications generally succeed; setup is quick and easy.
Users complain about:
Frequent ads in the free tier; numbers can be reclaimed after inactivity unless you pay to keep them; occasional glitches like delayed texts/calls and app slowdowns; tablet users report microphone/voice issues; occasional difficulty answering incoming calls from lockscreen; some report subscription confusion (double charges when upgrading without canceling prior plan); minor annoyances like thumbnails saving to gallery.
Is it Worth Paying For?
Yes, if you rely on the number. The paid options (remove ads, caller ID, call forwarding, and—importantly—locking your number) offer solid value for regular use or business needs. International calling requires credits but is competitively priced. If you only need a temporary number and don’t mind ads or potential number churn, the free tier is sufficient. Be careful to cancel old plans when upgrading to avoid double billing.
How it Compares to Alternatives
Compared to TextNow/TextFree/Talkatone, users report clearer calls, faster app responsiveness, and more reliable SMS verification. Ads are present here too, but the keep-number option is straightforward. Versus Google Voice, Text Me is easier to obtain a new number and supports multiple numbers and MMS/group messaging within the app, but Voice can be more stable for call routing and integrates deeply with Google services (though MMS support can vary with carriers). For international calling, prices are similar to peers via credit-based models.
Summary
Text Me: Second Phone Number is a strong pick for anyone who needs a practical, Wi‑Fi-first second number with real calling, texting, MMS, voicemail, and call forwarding. It shines as a backup line during carrier outages, a dedicated business line, or a privacy-friendly burner. The free tier’s ads and inactivity-based number reclamation are the main trade-offs; paying to remove ads and lock in your number mitigates both. Occasional quirks—especially on tablets and answering from the lockscreen—exist, but most users report clear calls, fast texts, and reliable day-to-day use. If your communications are mostly US/Canada and you’re comfortable with an ad-supported model (or willing to subscribe), this app offers excellent value and flexibility.
