"Besides the US, you can send text messages to over 25 countries (listed below). We support most carriers in these countries and many others throughout the world. There are a lot of countries that we haven't tested yet, so give 'em a try, even if they aren't on this list. If you've tried to text a country that's not on our list, and it doesn't work, then it looks like texting to their country is too expensive for us to offer you free texting there. Pricing can change, so stay tuned for updates!"

Sarah, Ipad apps are not compatible with android, unless the company has an app made for the android.

You can also text from any messenger (yahoo, msn,) to a cell phone, I used it locally, but not sure if it works for international texts. Its worth a try.

Also, I tried once sending an email from my phone to the DR, it works but he couldn't instantly reply back to my phone like it works locally. It's probably his provider.

But if your mother in law has the same phone, couldn't you just text her the pictures, or it cost to text a picture?

Does orange or claro charge for incoming international text? It says this on the pinger website.

It's free for you (the Textfree user). However, standard messaging rates apply for the people you are texting. Because Textfree gives you a US phone number, your friends abroad will incur international fees!

It is against DR law to charge for incoming calls or texts. Only in America......................

That's good to know. I guess I can drop my unlimited international texting plan with Sprint. Saves me $10 per month. Thanks SKY

Valeu Cara!
To OP, you forgot to mention that whoever your calling needs to have downloaded Pinger as well, and they have to be in your contacts. "Whatsapp", is working fine for me, free sms, video, pic and voice messages to whoever HAS this app around the world.

NOT TRUE. You can text anyone with a cell phone. They do not need Pinger. PM me a cell number and I will show you.
