Iphone text now app for texting?

So I have this app on my iphone 3 called text now. I don't have a plan or anything because I don't really need it I guess (we have free Wi-Fi at my school and that's the only place I use it really) I just wanted to know if there was a way to get alerts from the app when someone texts me becasue I have to go into the app to see if I have any messages. It doesn't pop up on my home screen or anything like it would when you have a plan. Is there anyway to get alerts just like if you had a plan so i know when my friends are texting me and I don't actually have ot go into the app to check messages. Aswell with calls, if someone calls my number (the app gives me a cell number) I have to be on the app to see it. Otherwise when I sign in it says missed call all the time becasue I don't get an alert!

I would try the app called "text +" or it might be "text plus". Either way it is a very nice app for texting numbers and they give you alerts on your homescreen as well as your lockscreen.

  • What is the best texting/messaging app for iPhone? I'm looking for a good texting/messaging app for the iPhone. It doesn't matter if the app is free or not. Any suggestions?
  • Texting notification to the person I'm texting? How do I change on my iPhone 5s so the person I'm texting doesn't see that I'm texting them with the bubble
  • Is there an app for Apple that allows you to text and send pictures from that texting number? I have a iPhone 5s and I want to find an app that I can text or call people and when I send pictures it sends the picture from the number that they gave me instead of a link or and email? Example: If a texting app gives me the number (555)555-5555 and I send I picture to someone I want the person I sent the picture to, to receive it from the number I got (555)555-5555 not a email. Hopefully that made sense if know of any apps that do this please let me know!
