Free texting app for Android

Text Vault is a free texting app that lets you use burner numbers so that you can safeguard the sanctity of your personal phone number. Gain access to countless free burner numbers that you can use when needed and discard when the need for them expires. Take control of who has access to your phone number with this unique revolutionary app for Android.
There are numerous similar apps on Google Playstore and on the Android app repository, but Text Vault is by far one of the top choices for semi-incognito communications. If you’re looking for decent alternatives, try 2ndLine, or Text Free. Overall though, in terms of features and general availability of numbers and the regions to use them, you can’t go wrong with Text Vault.
Temporary and permanent phone numbers
Whether you need a temporary phone number for quick internet or app verifications or a permanent phone number for daily use, Text Vault has you covered. Whichever option you choose, you can rest comfortably knowing that your actual personal contact information won’t be within the grasp of persistent telemarketers or less than savoury service providers.
With Text Vault you have instant access to numerous international phone numbers as well. This means that you’re no longer limited to services in your own country and can access those that require users to have numbers of a specific international area code.
Customisation
Contrary to myriad other ‘free secondary number’ services, Text Vault is a well-thought-out and well-rounded full-service app that even gives you numerous customisation options. If you wish not to be disturbed by your burner number, you can activate the ‘Do not disturb’ mode structured around a schedule that suits your needs.
You can also take control of your privacy by enabling the option to hide text messages in the notification panel. This way, no one but you will be able to read your messages. Another neat feature is that you can even get rid of single messages or entire message threads.
Drawbacks
Unfortunately, as has become commonplace with mobile apps, Text Vault is riddled with ads. With games, you can head into your phone’s settings and disable internet access to get around ads, but as Text Vault relies on a stable internet connection to work, this hack sadly serves no purpose. You’ll have to suffer through numerous ads during many of the app’s critical functions, which could be enough to deter some users or motivate them to opt for paid apps instead.
A secure secondary phone number
Text Vault is an incredibly handy tool if you need to verify for various internet services or apps. You can also take full advantage of the app’s free nature and countless local and international phone numbers.
It ensures that only the people and companies you choose can have access to your official personal phone number. You can also use it as a separate number for your business.
