TextFree is a platform that provides free voice calls and text messaging services, allowing users to send texts, make calls, and receive voicemail using virtual phone numbers over the internet. Many users want to access TextFree’s web version but aren’t sure where to find it. Let me guide you through it.
What is TextFree?
TextFree, developed by Pinger, offers users U.S. local numbers for free calls and text messaging between the U.S. and Canada. It’s perfect for those who want to keep their real number private or need a U.S. number to register for services and websites. TextFree gives you the ability to have a U.S. number no matter where you are in the world.
TextFree Web Version Login Link
To access the TextFree web version, simply visit https://messages.textfree.us/login. The web version can be used directly from your browser—no need to download any software. If you’re in a region where access to the site is restricted, you’ll need to use a VPN with an American IP address to bypass the block.
How to Log Into TextFree Web Version
Once you visit the login page, you’ll find multiple login options. Here’s how to log in:
- TextFree Account Login: Enter your TextFree account email and password, then click “Login.”
- Google Account Login: Click “Continue with Google,” and a window will pop up where you can log in with your Google credentials.
- Apple ID Login: For Apple ID login, you need a U.S.-based Apple ID. Click “Continue with Apple,” and follow the on-screen prompts to log in.
How to Register for TextFree?
You cannot register directly through the web version of TextFree. Instead, you’ll need to download the TextFree app on your mobile device to sign up.
1. Download the TextFree App:
For Apple Users: You need a U.S. Apple ID to download the app from the App Store. You can easily buy or create a U.S. Apple ID online.

How to Use TextFree Web Version?
The TextFree web version can only send and receive texts—it doesn’t support voice calls. If you need to make calls, you’ll have to use the mobile app. The web version is mostly useful for receiving verification codes since many international platforms require a U.S. phone number.
TextFree lets you receive texts for free, but making calls and receiving messages from outside the U.S. and Canada are paid features.
Why Does My TextFree Number Change?
Yes, your TextFree number may change if you don’t log in for a week. This happens because inactive numbers are recycled. If you want to keep your number, you need to either subscribe to their “number protection” service or log in at least once a week.
To protect your number, text “auto” to “67135” and reply “Y” to receive weekly SMS updates. If you don’t want to pay, just logging in regularly will keep your number.
