The best apps for messages and calls (free)

We’ll show you why you should use one of these apps instead of what is usually pre-installed on your phone – which are usually neither great nor customizable – and how to send text messages or make calls for free. Needless to say, traditional SMS text messages are now more than old-fashioned, especially due to the explosion of popular instant messaging applications that are always very easy to use.

Texting is something we all do on a daily basis, and these apps will make this task easier for you and also more outstanding.

This selection of applications will allow you to change the notification icons, add themes, make phone calls, send text messages over WiFi, get more emojis … the possibilities are many, not to mention the voice, video and sharing options of files to other users. We will find a lot of different functionalities that will offer you new ways to keep in touch with friends, family and business contacts. Some of these applications are minimalist and others offer superior features to the rest. So that there is something for all tastes.

If we talk about Apple users, the truth is that as excellent and integrated as Apple’s iMessage service is, it only works well if all our friends and family also use iOS devices. But what if you want to chat and talk with people who use Android or even Windows Mobile? Here is the problem. Hence you need a better alternative of text messaging apps for iPad or iPhone.

So, say goodbye to email (well, better a “see you later”) and embrace instant messaging. Mobile messaging apps are more popular than ever as they add social media features, improve security, and compete to meet the demand for free mobile calling and texting services.

The most popular mobile apps like Facebook Messenger or FaceTime and internet calling services like Skype still dominate the market, but they have a promising pack of competitors. Let’s take a look at these apps.
