TextFreek 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.
