TalkU Free Calls +Free Texting also allows you to make
phone calls to over 200 countries
at
affordable rates
. Your temporary number will also receive
free call credits
so you can call anyone wherever you are in the world, saving you on roaming fees.
A second phone number for all your needs
TalkU Free Calls +Free Texting offers more than just a second number as it also lets you receive phone calls even when the reception is poor and
block spam or unknown calls
. Calls are made over wireless connections such as
Wi-Fi
,
IP
, or
VoIP
to ensure
crystal clear calls
and your regular calling credits aren't consumed when you use the app.
Despite being a subscription-based service, you can still earn free credits. However, some features such as visual voicemail, blocking unwanted calls, custom caller screens, and call forwarding are only available to premium users. Additionally, the
free SMS
and calls offered by the service are only available to fellow TalkU users. Getting a free number is also only obtainable through free credits and is not instantaneous.
Another drawback to the app is you can only obtain a
U.S. or Canadian number
, but you can still enjoy the services whether you're on a free credit-based or paid account. You can also
complete missions
or
d
ownload apps from a third-party organizer to earn app credits. However, if you don't want the hassle, you can just get a subscription for an affordable price.
Solid app with a few limitations
TalkU Free Calls +Free Texting is a great app for protecting your personal phone number, that is, if you're willing to pay extra to access all of its features. Its reliance on
wireless connectivity
can also be used to your advantage, as it allows you to make
high-quality calls
even when your personal SIM service is poor. Regardless of its disadvantages, this app can still be beneficial when you travel.
