SMS App 📲 No Advertising
If you own a cell phone (who doesn't) then a second phone number app that allows you to send texts and make phone calls from a completely different, and anonymous number (your real cell phone number remains hidden) is a fantastic idea.
Both the Google Play (Android phones) and the App Store (for Apple mobile products) are filled with second phone number text apps such as:
- TextNow.
- Text Free
- TextMe
- TextPlus.
Text Apps WITH Ads on Google Play
These apps are great but they all have one major flaw. They are so littered with and bogged down with in app advertising that it makes using these texting and second phone number apps difficult at best.
- You press to enter text to send and the text box gets displaced or moved by an ad so you inadvertently click on an ad.
- The advertising slows down the texting app significantly at times.
Either scenaria makes it difficult to use these text and phone calls apps and ruins an otherwise great concept.
