textPlus for PC is a great alternative to expensive calls and paid correspondence. With this program, you can send text messages for free, as well as make calls at preferential rates. In principle, this application is more like Skype with its paid subscriptions than Viber or Whatsapp. At the first start, you will need to log in, indicating the name, gender, date of birth and other parameters. A somewhat primitive interface that is not well adapted for landscape mode immediately catches your eye. There are three themes for design, of which the bright one looks the most presentable.
And if the design is not a key factor for this type of application, then communication is clearly one of them. And here an unpleasant surprise awaits the user – messages are free only for US and Canadian numbers and in general textPlus is not particularly suitable for every country.
The main screen of the application consists of several tabs that can be switched using the icons on the top panel – messages, calls, log, address book. In the settings, you can select the country, language, change the notification settings. The principle of operation is the same as in Skype – calls and messages between users of the service are free, but you will have to pay for mobile and landline numbers. At the time of writing, subscribing to calls in the US and Canada cost $ 3, which is not so much.
