textPlus: Text Message + Call

textPlus: Text Message + Call is a communication application that assigns users a genuine, full-featured U.S. phone number, enabling comprehensive messaging and voice calling without requiring a SIM card, mobile phone plan, or service contract. It consolidates multiple communication channels into a single application interface, operating across WiFi and mobile data connections.

The messaging suite includes SMS for text communication and MMS for media transmission, with photo sharing integrated natively into the system. Group messaging extends conversations beyond two-person exchanges, allowing multiple contacts to participate simultaneously.

Users can place and receive calls using their assigned phone number. WiFi calling offers an alternative to traditional cellular calling, conducting voice conversations through internet connections. This option benefits users with poor cellular coverage or those relying primarily on WiFi connectivity. SMS and MMS messaging operate across both WiFi and mobile networks, ensuring users can send and receive text and media regardless of available connectivity.

International calling extends the platform's capabilities through a credits-based payment model. Users purchase credits toward international calls, avoiding standard per-minute charges typical of cellular carriers. Credits remain available until used, and additional credits can be purchased as needed. International calling is entirely optional—users who don't place such calls incur no charges, and domestic messaging and calling operate at no cost regardless of credit balance.

Multi-device access allows the same account and phone number to be used across smartphones and tablets. Users can check messages on their tablet or place calls from either device, with contacts and message history synchronizing to enable seamless conversation continuation across devices.

The second phone number feature provides an additional U.S. phone number alongside the primary number, both active within the single account. This secondary number receives its own calls and messages, independent from the primary. Users can maintain separate numbers for different purposes—professional and personal use, or any other communication need—while managing both from the same application.

The service eliminates three common constraints: no SIM card required, no mobile phone plan subscription, and no long-term service contract.

Contacts, messages, and calls remain isolated within textPlus and do not synchronize to external systems or the device's native applications. Contacts added in textPlus do not automatically populate into other messaging platforms or contact systems, ensuring that communication records remain partitioned from other applications on the device.
