Text Me APK

Text Me is a free phone number app for Android that gives you a virtual line for texting and calling over Wi-Fi or mobile data. It supports SMS, MMS, voice messages, and both voice over IP and video calls, all tied to a second number that is harder to trace than your regular mobile line, which helps protect your privacy.

This app suits people who rely heavily on Wi-Fi, want a low-commitment second number for casual communication, or need rich messaging tools without paying upfront, but it is not a good fit for children or for anyone who needs consistently stable performance without intrusive advertising.

Calling and texting with a virtual number

Text Me focuses on turning your device into a Wi-Fi-capable phone with a separate number. You can:

- Send regular text messages (SMS)

- Send photos, videos, and other MMS content

- Record and send voice messages

- Place voice over IP calls

- Join video-conferencing calls

These functions work over Wi-Fi or mobile data, so you can stay reachable even if you do not use a traditional carrier plan for calls and texts.

The app can also be used to reach contacts in other countries. For those situations, Text Me offers international calling and texting with specific rates. You can buy credits directly, or earn some at no cost by completing offers inside the service.

Chat tools and personalization

Beyond basic calls and SMS, Text Me behaves like an instant messaging client with a fairly complete toolkit. You can create group chats, exchange photos and videos within conversations, and add personality through emojis and stickers.

Customization is one of its stronger points. The app lets you tailor several details, such as:

- Text signatures

- Text tones and alert sounds

- Call tones and ringtones

- Backgrounds and wallpapers for the interface

These options help you make the app feel more personal, both visually and in how it sounds when messages and calls arrive.

Privacy, burner numbers, and safety

A key attraction of Text Me is its use of virtual burner-style phone numbers. Since these numbers are not tied to your main SIM line and are harder to track back, they can give you an extra layer of privacy when sharing contact details.

That same anonymity creates risks, however, especially for younger people. The service is not recommended for children, since difficulty in tracing numbers can put their safety at risk.

Account creation has its own limitation. You cannot sign up with just an email or a standalone login. Instead, registration depends on a Facebook or Google account, so you must be willing to connect one of those profiles in order to use the app at all.

Free use, credits, and paid extras

Text Me advertises free-of-charge texting and calling through its virtual number when used over Wi-Fi or data. International communication relies on credits: you either purchase them or complete offers to receive some for free.

The app also offers a premium tier. Based on current information, the subscription:

- Is billed weekly, at about 7 dollars per week

- Is required if you intend to receive verification codes to this number

- Removes advertising

- Adds caller ID and call forwarding

- Lets you lock in your number so you can keep the same line

There is a trial period, but access to it requires entering card details first. If you only need the service briefly, you have to remember that the subscription continues once the trial ends.

For some people the extra features and ad removal will justify ongoing payment. Others may find that cost high for a secondary number, especially given the app’s stability issues.

Performance problems and intrusive ads

On paper, Text Me looks like an excellent all-in-one communication app, yet the real-world experience can be very frustrating.

Stability and reliability are major weak points. The app has been described as being in very rough shape, with problems cropping up in nearly every major function, from messaging to calls. Bugs and inconsistent behavior can quickly erode confidence, especially if you depend on the number for important conversations or codes.

Advertising in the free version is another significant drawback. Text Me packs in a large amount of ads, and they are not just small banners. Full-screen ads can appear without warning and cover the display, interrupting what you were doing. This can make routine actions, like checking a message or placing a call, feel cluttered and disruptive.

A paid upgrade removes ads and improves the experience, but that means the free tier is heavily subsidized by aggressive advertising, which many people will find tiring after a short time.

Overall assessment

Text Me brings together a lot of appealing ideas: a free virtual number, Wi-Fi calling and texting, group chat, video calls, rich customization, international communication through credits, and a premium tier with caller ID, call forwarding, and a reserved number.

At the same time, its weaknesses are hard to ignore. The app needs serious refinement on the technical side, and the ad-heavy free version can feel overwhelming. Tying sign-in to Facebook or Google also reduces flexibility, and requiring a relatively expensive weekly subscription for tasks such as receiving verification codes makes the service less attractive as a long-term primary solution.

If your priority is a flexible second number for occasional use and you are mostly on Wi-Fi, Text Me can still work, especially if you are willing to pay to remove ads and secure a stable number. For children, and for anyone who needs a rock-solid, low-friction communication tool, it is not the most reassuring choice in its current state.
