Every feature is free for your first 120 days, and most features stay free forever.

Texto is a fast, clean SMS/MMS app you set as your default messaging app. Free and ad-free — with features other SMS apps don't have.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

✓ SMS and MMS, conversations, contacts, search

✓ Type texts on your computer — you type, your phone sends. If you sit at a desk all day, you don't have to reach for the phone for every message. End-to-end encrypted; only your browser can read them.

✓ SMS by e-mail — send an e-mail and Texto delivers it as an SMS; the reply comes back to your inbox.
It can do this too: does your booking or ordering software send SMS through a paid gateway? Save the customer's number as an email address and the software sends an email (usually free) — Texto delivers it as an SMS from your own phone, at your tariff price.

✓ Scheduled SMS — send birthday wishes at six in the morning while you're still asleep. Schedule the rent reminder for the first of every month. Training reminder every Friday.

✓ Reminders — they arrive as a message, so you won't miss them: collect a parcel, pay an invoice, an anniversary. Daily to yearly repeats, home-screen widget.

✓ Waiting for reply — sent a quote, a request to a tradesperson, or a date to agree on, and nobody answered? Mark the message and Texto watches for the reply and nudges you in time.

✓ Daily digest of unanswered messages — an evening overview of what you forgot to answer, by SMS and e-mail with reply links.

✓ Bulk SMS — "today's practice is canceled" to the whole team, notices to parents, offers to customers. Save recipient groups and load them next time with one tap.

✓ Notes on contacts and conversations — jot down who the number belongs to and what you agreed on.

✓ Templates with placeholders (name, date, time) — write an order or appointment confirmation once, then just insert it.

✓ Quick copy of one-time codes · Spam folder and number blocking · Trash with restore · Backup and restore · Statistics

✓ Assistant — pending replies, digests, scheduled texts and reminders in one place

✓ Big keyboard — enlarge the keys up to 180%, for weaker eyesight and bigger fingers

✓ Light and dark mode, font size · 4 languages: English, Czech, Slovak, Polish

WHO IS IT FOR

• Anyone who prefers typing texts on a real keyboard
• Tradespeople, hairdressers, garages, coaches, clinics — bulk messages, appointment confirmations, reminders
• Landlords, clubs, teachers — regular updates to several people at once
• Anyone who can't afford to miss a reply to an important message

PRICE

The first 120 days you get every feature free. Sending and receiving SMS stays free forever. After that the price is nominal — and anyone with a MissCall subscription gets all Texto Pro features included.

PRIVACY

Your messages stay on your phone. Web sync is end-to-end encrypted (AES-256) — not even our server can read the content. Free and ad-free.

Missed calls? The companion MissCall service automatically texts back anyone whose call you missed — from your own number (e.g. "I'll call you back."). Automatic replies are provided by the MissCall service at misscall.io, not by the Texto app itself — both work with the same account. Great for freelancers, clinics and small businesses. ## Rankings - #2,586,526 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_CONTACTS` - `android.permission.READ_PHONE_NUMBERS` - `android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE` - `android.permission.READ_SMS` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_MMS` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_WAP_PUSH` - `android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS` - `android.permission.SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM` - `android.permission.SEND_SMS` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES` - `io.misscall.texto.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Android Texter](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.androidtexter.smsgateway) — 60 users - [Send SMS/MMS Messages from PC](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.texty.sms) — 10,233,960 users, 3.87 / 5 - [SMS Messenger: Text Messages](https://chrome-stats.com/d/viz.fastmssg.freeforward) — 13,730 users, 4.00 / 5 - [mysms - Remote Text Messages](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mysms.android.sms) — 3,825,162 users, 3.72 / 5 - [TextTo: SMS messages](https://chrome-stats.com/d/guru.gnom.textto) — 1,909 users - [Texters SMS](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.texters.app) — 205 users - [DesktopSMS Lite - SMS from PC](https://chrome-stats.com/d/net.mrpear.apps.desktopsmslite) — 15,996 users, 3.00 / 5 - [Messages: Text SMS](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.rayma.messages.encryptedmessages) — 774 users - [Messages: SMS Text App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.apps.messaging.messages.chating.messages) — 6,335 users - [Messages: Text SMS](https://chrome-stats.com/d/meet.chat.messages) — 4,970,293 users, 4.04 / 5 - [Messenger - Text Messages](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.smsorganizer.messages.communication) — 6,947 users, 3.95 / 5 - [SMS Texting from Tablet & Sync](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mysms.android.tablet) — 835,874 users, 3.85 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/io.misscall.texto)
