Call and Text Home for Free


Okay, you do at least need a smart phone or computer and access to wifi. But I'm guessing the majority of you have one of those anyway, and wifi is so widespread I'm sure you'll come across it no problem. TextNow is an application that provides you with a regional number for your home area and allows you to send and receive text messages through wifi. The people receiving your text messages will receive them as normal texts. With free programs such as Skype and FaceTime, there's no need to ever pay to call home ever again. While you can't call telephones, its still a quick and efficient way to touch base home. They've currently added an option to leave a message, so even if your family and friends are sleeping you can leave them something to wake up to.
