TextFree Upgrades to TextFree.com: Celebrates Its 15th Anniversary 
By Monica Stankova access_time 2 min read

TextFree is a mobile application and web service that enables users to send and receive text messages and make VoIP phone calls for free over the internet. The service is ad-supported, but users can opt for an ad-free version with enhanced features (TextFree Plus). Developed by the American telecommunications provider Pinger, Inc., TextFree has over 130 million users, according to its website. This year, TextFree celebrates its 15th anniversary.


Back in 2009, most people paid for texting. We created the first, free texting app, TextFree, for people who needed a phone number on their mobile devices. This is before there was WhatsApp, Google Voice, Telegram, or the others that followed. TextFree was free then, and it’s still free now—but with even more features like unlimited calling. The 15th anniversary of the original free texting app, TextFree, is something truly to celebrate.

It seems the company has also secured its Exact Brand Match (EBM) .com domain TextFree.com, which currently redirects to TextFree.us. While country code domains are often more affordable, they can pose business risks such as limited global reach and reduced brand recognition. 

By acquiring TextFree.com, the company strengthens its online presence, ensuring visitors and potential customers are accurately directed to their site. Domains .com with dictionary words are highly valuable because they are memorable, clear, and convey authority. These qualities enhance a brand’s online accessibility and credibility with users.
