Text Vault - Texting App Reviews

Most apps that offer free text and free phone calls will let you pick out a phone number and they have free texting and free calling with an actual dial pad with numbers. TextVault is so greedy, after you sign in, it takes you straight to the pay options displaying all the paid plans available and they have it worded so that you think it’s not a free text app and the only option is to pay for their service. To me, that is like a homeless person coming up to your window and begging for money. It’s a deal breaker for me... Once you back out because you thought it was a free text and calls app....then it declares you have 100 credits (5 free texts) with your anonymous number. Just try and find the dial pad, waste of time going thru their menu which I stupidly spent 10 mins . I’m not sure you can make calls because I entered a number and hit call phone and it didn’t make a call. How TextVault got the #1 most popular spot when I searched for free text is a mystery to me ? There is no faq ,or help section... only an option to email their support which ...why bother emailing because that also takes up precious time. Hitting delete and going back to textnow

If an issue arises or in the event a subscriber wishes to cancel the subscription, the Contact Support does not reply to the email. The only way to cancel paying the monthly fee is to send an email which I have numerous times and have not heard anything back. I don’t appreciate getting charged for the monthly fee since I am not using TextVault . There should be an option within TextVault to cancel the subscription, but since there is not that shows the lack of integrity this company has towards its customers, as well as the confidence that TextVault will being satisfying. They clearly know customers won’t want to keep TextVault which is why it is nearly impossible to cancel. This is my fault if it stated in TextVault details that this would be the process of canceling. So, shame on me for not thoroughly reading the details. I won’t be making this mistake again for such a poorly manufactured app. I suppose in a way, I should be thanking the company for cheating me out of my money so I learned the lesson to be more aware next time to prevent this from happening again.

I originally posted 1 star but came back to revise it. TextVault & reference site lack basic information, but their customer service quickly responded to my email (like within a few hours) & hooked me up w/ an extension that wasn’t necessarily due, as a courtesy for the lack of clarity. I did previously purchase for use, & everything worked as I expected. It’s still not clear, however, if you have to purchase a phone number subscription (or certain amount of phone numbers w/ limitations) AND credits for each text sent & received (2 credits for pictures). So kudos on customer service & please add more detailed info

This was a one and done deal. Sent a free text, then removed subscription. But since I did it, I've been getting calls from random numbers in various states. I googled a couple of numbers and some people have had complaints of telemarketer calls from these numbers.

I am on the do not call list. TextVault more than likely gives your number to third parties. DO NOT DOWNLOAD! I did not see this in the ratings nor did I see a general statement like Facebook uses to access your number prior to download. Now I've got to deal with a bunch of random calls. Good thing I'm changing my number soon....

Maybe somewhere they may have stated that you need to pay for text credits. But once downloaded I could not send text at all until I paid. At least other apps you can call and text for free, they give you the option to pay for credits to text and call. There are better apps out there then this

I work at a pizza shop. Sometimes I need to text a customer to let them know that their order is ready for pick up. It’s nice to not use my real number because I’ve done it before and some customers have later texted me when they were drunk or just to talk to me, so this is a great alternative to stay anonymous.

Misleading title made it seem like it was free. After downloading I realized I had to pay before I could even receive or send one message or call. Obviously I don't want to be linked to this number. Now it's linked to my iCloud account. On top of this, it was difficult to set up. Doesn't show the number on TextVault . Doesn't receive some text messages even when I have plenty of funds on my account. Not user friendly. I ended up frustrated and out a few dollars with a useless app. I'm sure with a few small changes all this can be improved.

I regret getting it. All the other reviews must be fake. I'm only doing this review cause I want to see if it'll get me text credits for free because APPARENTLY, you only get to send & receive TWO TEXTS for free and then you need text credits for any thing else. What type of crap is that ? Very disappointed, I would've never started a conversation on this had I known.

I paid over $10 to be able to text someone... when the person’s one and only text came through, TextVault said that I needed to pay more money in order to view the text. I tried reaching out to customer service to request a refund since TextVault is clearly only money hungry and not what I was looking for...and they said that because the person messaged me (a message that I was not permitted to see), I could not get a refund. 1 star for high costs and poor customer service. I encourage you to look elsewhere.

Not only do they give you more then enough time to demo it, its about the easiest and mist user friendly app you can get, just excellent in every aspect, i highly recommend it for whatever your personal reason is for needing it, ive used about all of them, 5 stars and didnt even have to think about it.

TextVault works well, but if you sign up for a free trial and then come back to TextVault a few months later it prompts you for another free trial. If you sign up for the free trial again Apple will charge you even if you didn’t intend to sign up after the free trial expired. Seems to be a bait and switch tactic. This will then turn into the blame game. App blames Apple; Apple blames TextVault . Either way I’m out of $20 for an app I was barely planning on using. Now I’m also receiving all kinds of calls from Asian restaurants after signing up for TextVault. Not happy!

On initial sign up screen app ask for email address and password. Pressing send button produces error massage and,...nothing happens. This would be very consistent with malware which doesn’t work at all, which under pretense of being app is specifically designed to harvest valid email addresses of unsuspecting people providing it while trying to sign up for service. When entering address don’t give your main one. Use disposable one, which you will be able to discard, should you all the sudden get flooded with SPAM, phish or/and email malware.

It’s by far one of the better free texting apps out there!!!! All of us don’t use free texting apps for normal usuage, like everyday usage. Soooo, I like the fact that I can pick a number of my choice as well as have the option to the free texting number and it can generate a new number every single time I use it!!!
Thanks~

It’s great I love using it and it’s especially helpful if your beefing with ppl and they block you cuz you can still get through it’s expensive but worth it when you need it spend like $5-15 per month buying more text credits like I said it’s works and is worth it good tool for the Down Low missions

So I have a iPod and I can't text my friend cuz she has a tablet so I got TextVault and I texted her two time and then it said I have to buy more texts like I can't text anyone if I don't buy more if you have three pieces of grass or some thing and every time you want to do something with it you take a one away when you're out you have to buy more it is so stupid so don't get TextVault cuz it suckes and I can't do 0 stars but if I could I would that's how much I hate TextVault

Its selling texting from a random number which can easily done with a computer for free. I downloaded it under the impression it was a caller ID spoofer. I could not figure out how to make a call. I struggled to send a text. It is poorly designed visually and it's only working function seems to be too bring the user to the "buy credits" page. They try to side hustle by pushing to download soon vpn app I would assume is just as bad.

Pass on this. There are better texting apps around. This one is absolutely garbage.

I like I can use text vault to call back those weird random numbers that call my real phone. Plus i have a girlfriend with a wife on the side and neither know about each other because of this here app…Thanks Text Vault

TextVault is great it allows you to use your phone with continual service under the same provider under a new discrete number. It has allowed me access to things i never thought possible! Download this if you are in need of this amazing service!!

After luring you with a free trial, you have to pay to send messages and if you want a number you also have to pay extra for it. Furthermore, some texts will NOT get through ( for example some of the verification codes. Yes the main reason why a lot of people get TextVault). If you have the free trial and believe that paying will fix TextVault issue...stop in your tracks. Paying will not solve TextVault issues. (I hope the 25 dollars I spent here would serve you as good advise )

TextVault is very fun to have a second number if you don’t have an electronic device because your parents took ur phone. I love TextVault and I’ve only had it for a day or two. But sometimes my messages don’t send which are very annoying but it’s okay.

Not a terrible app.. Think it would be a lot more successful if it were more competitive as far as amount of free values offered and ways to earns because TextVault itself is higher quality in my opinion but has inferior apps being chosen over it due to wider variety of offers

Like the general purpose of TextVault but the idea that TextVault is free is misleading. Sure to download TextVault is free. But in order to get ur number u have to purchase it and to get credits to call or text I have to buy credits. Not free. So maybe not the best app in the world if ur looking for a second number to use for free.

This is a brilliant solution to be able to have a number to give out to someone you need to communicate with but you’re not ready to give up your real number...and the ability to disappear at a moments notice.

Awesome app I'm enjoying it right now very happy I installed this today thank you. Update kinda boring like watching Sesame Street like it was fun for the first time but now I grew up and realized it isn't free make more credits for it and I'll move to the next level of experience thank you
