Looking for a little more from TextFree? TextFree Plus includes everything available with the free plan, plus an ad-free experience and premium tools that help you keep your number, receive verification codes, manage spam, and more.

Here’s a closer look at what’s included with your TextFree Plus subscription.

Remove All Ads

Less clutter, fewer interruptions—TextFree Plus removes ads throughout the app, giving you a cleaner experience and helping you focus on the conversations that matter without distractions.

Receive Verification Codes

Need a 2FA code? TextFree Plus lets you receive SMS verification codes from supported apps and services using your TextFree phone number. This makes it easier to create accounts, verify logins, and complete online transactions without exposing your personal number to businesses.

Reserve Your Number

The Reserved Number designation in your Plus subscription prevents your TextFree phone number from expiring after 30 days due to inactivity. This allows you to hold onto your number for as long as you’re subscribed to TextFree Plus without having to worry about it.

Change Your Number

Getting a new number doesn’t require technical assistance. With TextFree Plus, you can change your TextFree phone number directly from the app whenever you need to.

Manage Spam Automatically

Automatically silence suspected spam calls and send them directly to voicemail, helping reduce interruptions while keeping important calls front and center. You’ll still receive notifications for missed calls and voicemails, so you can review activity and decide what deserves a response.

Identify Unknown Callers

Number ID helps take the guesswork out of incoming calls by displaying “Maybe: [Name]” when caller information is available. With a little more context before you answer, it’s easier to decide which calls need your attention.
