Your friends don’t need Textfree to receive–they don’t even need to have a smartphone. One thing which I like about this app is no carrier contract or texting plan required.

If you have more number of friends and relatives living far away from you, then the above applications can help in sending them free SMSs without wasting money on mobile phone bills and recharges.
