FAQ:
Q: Why do I need to install TextFreek?
A: The TextFreek app relies on Apple push technology to send text messages between devices for free. Without the TextFreek app installed, you can’t enjoy free texting.
Q: To text for FREE do I have to open the TextFreek app?
A: No, biteSMS takes over the TextFreek application so you can send and receive TextFreek messages directly from biteSMS. You only need to open the TextFreek app once, to register initially.
Q: How do I know if I am sending a TextFreek message?
A: Whenever you send a message to a TextFreek user you’ll know because the send button will be orange. Great, so it’s a fully integrated FREE messaging service within biteSMS. That’s so easy, it’s scary! TextFreek is on the App Store now…biteSMS Release 5.2 coming around 22 March.
TextFreek is available for free in the app store…
