  5. [R1] 2nd.MD 1/5 · US Couldn’t activate on app nor web: Got a card in the mail that my company provides this as a benefit. Wasted an hour trying to register on web and through app. If you can’t have a registration process that works, how is your service going to be. Gave up. Not worth the hassle.

  10. [R63] Text Me 3/5 · US Texting app: It kinda sucks that people got to pay extra fees to be able to use these texting apps. But it is what it is…
  11. [R64] Text Me 1/5 · US Awful app: This app has a pay wall. I order to get certain texts you need to upgrade. Not free at all. Dumb horrible app that takes advantage of people who are trying to get messages, and they want you to allow tracking? Scammers.
  12. [R75] Text Me 3/5 · US Good but…: I wish that we could actually receive activation codes if we have it free, and I wish we were able to text people who only have a email to text with. Otherwise it’s fine
  13. [R76] Text Me 1/5 · US It’s very expensive: It’s not free . The moment you get any sort of activation code or verification code they will block the code and force you to subscribe at $29.99 a month just to read it .

  16. [R73] Text Me 1/5 · US Can’t send too many messages will lock you out: Literally just texting one friend and if you send too many texts in a row it locks you out for 24 hours. Even just to the same friend! Very annoying

Sometimes it has been difficult to ring me and at times the line has dropped in the middle of conversation. But I suppose it was mainly due to source of the call (Iran) and not any problem with text me. Overall I was pleased with the service. I will have no hesitation to renew my subscription should the
