textPlus: Text Message + Call

textPlus offers a US number, messaging and internet calls with separately paid outbound calling options.

Our take

Consider for eligible secondary internet messaging

A number and Wi-Fi use can support messages across phone or tablet devices.

Keep in mind: Does not support US 911; most outbound calls need credits and notification permissions affect receipt.

Good for

Consider alternatives for

Limitations & considerations

  • Does not support US 911; most outbound calls need credits and notification permissions affect receipt.
