TextMe offers unlimited free texting to any phone.

Yesterday I added a new messaging app on my HTC Mozart following an email I received from the developper to give it a try. The app is called TextMe and is a free messaging app for Windows Phone that is trying to kill Whatsapp and traditional SMS and it may well succeed.


TextMe is a multi-platform app that lets you send and receive picture messages without size limitation. The app takes good advantage of Windows Phone features with a live tile and push notifications that really works. I would have liked a lock screen notification as well. Of course, TextMe lets you do group discussions and it even has a web client for your friends without a smartphone. But there's more.


This is, I think, a feature that is unique to TextMe; the ability to get an American phone number to send and receive messages to simple mobile phones in 40 countries for free. Unfortunately Mauritius is not on the list of supported countries. But Mauritian users will get an U.S phone number upon registration. This feature by itself makes TextMe a must have. Hopefully the developer will add Mauritius to the list soon. I'll make sure he does.


TextMe is definitely an app you want to try. It's free, has great features and it just works. get it on Marketplace.
