Our verdict on text+

text+ is a mobile app for people who want a second US phone number without adding another carrier line. It supports SMS, MMS, photos and group messages to US and Canadian mobile numbers, along with inbound calls and calling over Wi-Fi or mobile data. The free plan covers texting, picture messaging, a free US number and free inbound calls, making the service a fit for personal communication on iOS and Android.

Pricing is freemium, with a free tier supported by advertising. The listed starting price is 4.99. Premium Bundle Monthly and Premium Number Bundle Annual add an ad-free experience, unlimited US calls, unlimited texting, priority customer support and a custom voicemail greeting. Premium also supports number retention during inactivity, while the service includes selected international calling. The main distinction is straightforward: free access provides the core second-number functions, while paid access expands calling, removes ads and adds account conveniences.

text+ fits users who need a simple personal number across mobile devices, but its scope is narrow for organized peer-to-peer outreach. The product does not provide verified campaign, volunteer, inbox, integration or P2P-team features, and it is positioned as non-commercial rather than as a shared business messaging system. Choose it for individual texting and calling; organizations that need coordinated teams, campaign workflows or integrated messaging should choose a platform built around those functions instead.
