Executive
Summary
Even
today
communicating
internationally
can
be
no
easy
task.
E-mail
is
not
always
as
direct
as
we
need
communication
to
be.
Text-messaging
and
phone
calls
can
lead
to
expensive
phone
bills.
With
applications
such
as
Skype
can
be
difficult
to
find
a
convenient
time
to
use
when
connecting
with
someone
whose
time
zone
is
different
by
a
couple
hours
or
more.
These
options
fail
to
offer
quick,
cheap,
and
consistent
communication
with
someone
around
the
world.
Smartphones
now
have
applications
that
allow
for
free
text
messaging.
Some
of
these
applications
are
several
dollars
to
purchase
while
others
are
free.
The
problems
with
many
of
these
applications
is
that
they
often
times
crash
and
do
not
allow
for
free
phone
calls
to
be
made.
The
solution
to
this
problem
is
the
number
one
rated
free
text
messaging
application,
textPlus+.
This
application
is
free
to
download
and
compatible
with
almost
all
smart
phones.
textPlus+
allows
users
to
send
and
receive
text
messages
and
phone
call
from
all
around
the
world
just
by
using
a
smart
phone
and
an
internet
connection.
Users of textPlus+ need:

Problem
Statement
Staying
in
touch
with
someone
internationally
is
often
times
expensive,
inconvenient,
or
both.
The
difference
in
time
zones
makes
it
difficult
to
find
a
time
that
works
for
each
communicator.
Applications
that
allow
face-to-face
chatting
over
the
internet
face
this
challenge,
along
with
having
poor
quality
internet
connections.
Using
your
cell
phone
to
stay
in
touch
with
someone
in
another
country
can
become
expensive
very
quickly.
Phone
companies
charge
high
international
rates
making
it
difficult
to
stay
in
contact.
A
parent
who
is
trying
to
keep
in
touch
with
a
child
who
is
studying
abroad
in
another
country
will
have
a
hard
time
stay
in
touch.
Often
times
cell
phone
texting
and
calling
plans
can
cost
nearly
$100
per
month
for
something
in
another
country
with
an
international
plan.
Business
partners
face
similar
challenges
trying
to
stay
in
touch.
The
challenges
of
using
Skype
include
the
difference
in
workday
time
schedules
across
different
time
zones.
Using
e- mail
can
be
a
problem
because
it
is
not
very
direct,
and
again
the
use
of
a
cell
phone
is
expensive.
The
solution
to
these
problems
is
the
application,
textPlus+.
With
textPlus+
you
can
send
and
receive
text
messages
and
make
phone
calls
to
other
users
for
free
regardless
of
where
they
are.

Solution
textPlus+ for Android 4
textPlus+
is
a
simple
to
use
application
that
can
be
downloaded
for
free
on
a
large
number
of
devices.
The
only
requirements
needed
to
use
textPlus+
are
a
smartphone
and
an
internet
connection.
With
these
requirements
meant,
users
are
able
to
stay
in
contact
free
of
charge.
textPlus+
can
be
used
on
any
Android,
Apple,
and
Windows
smartphones.
The
textPlus+
application
simply
works
by
sending
messages
and
making
phone
calls
over
an
internet
connection.
It
works
exactly
like
any
standard
messaing
and
calling
application
that
comes
with
a
smart
phone.
With
textPlus+
users
are
still
able
to
send
picture
messages
just
as
like
using
a
paid
service.
Using
an
internet
connection
for
text
messaging
and
phone
calls
can
be
just
as,
if
not
more
reliable
than
a
regular
service
connection
because
if
you
are
unable
to
get
cell
phone
reception,
there
is
a
chance
you
will
still
be
able
to
get
an
internet
connection.
textPlus+
has
over
60
millions
users
and
is
the
number
one
downloaded
free
text
messaging
and
calling
application
worldwide.
textPlus+ for Apple 5
textPlus+ for Windows
textPlus+
Using
textPlus+
textPlus+
is
a
very
easy
to
use
application
that
requires
little
prior
knowledge
of
downloading
from
app
stores,
creating
a
profile,
and
sending
and
receiving
texts.
Using
this
application
is
just
as
easy
and
very
similar
to
using
the
pre-installed
messaging
and
phone
calling
application
on
ones
smartphone.
The
main
difference
is
that
textPlus+
requires
no
plan
and
is
completely
free.
textPlus+
gives
its
users
a
new
number
based
on
the
country
that
they
are
from,
and
it
is
from
this
number
that
the
user
will
communicate
with
other
users
of
textPlus+
from
within
the
application.
Whenever
the
user
is
texting
or
calling
from
within
the
textPlus+
application,
they
are
automatically
using
the
free
textPlus+
number.
It
takes
no
special
knowledge
or
action
on
the
part
of
the
user.
textPlus+
is
the
number
one
rated
text
messaging
and
phone
call
application
because
it
is
easy
to
use,
reliable,
and
saves
users
a
great
amount
of
money
each
year.
Currently,
only
textPlus+
numbers
that
have
been
given
out
in
the
United
States
and
Canada
are
able
to
send
and
receive
free
phone
calls.
But
for
example,
a
user
who
originally
is
from
the
U.S.
can
make
calls
to
other
textPlus+
users
regardless
of
where
they
are
in
the
world,
as
long
as
an
internet
connection
is
present.
textPlus+
Features
textPlus+
allows
for
several
means
of
communication:
Text-Messaging

making
it
unique
from
many
other
free
communication
applications.
textPlus+

Group
Texts
Group
texting
is
becoming
increasingly
popular.
It
is
essentially
like
3
way
phone
calling,
but
for
text
messaging.
It
is
a
non-stop
chat
room
between
several
textPlus+
users
that
can
stay
open
for
as
long
as
needed.
Cross-Platform
Unlike
other
free
communication
appliciations
textPlus+
is
cross
platform.
Cross
platform
means
that
if
you
have
an
iPod,
iPad,
and
iPhone,
you
can
hold
the
same
conversation
across
all
3
devices.
User
Profile
textPlus+
allows
the
user
to
create
a
unique
profile
and
username
so
users
know
exactly
who
is
trying
to
communicate
with
them.
Conclusion
textPlus+
is
one
of
the
most
popular,
easy
to
use,
and
feature- full
free
communication
applications
that
exists
today.
The
application
allows
for
free
international
communication
that
is
more
timely
and
less
costly
than
other
alternatives.
textPlus+
can
be
downloaded
free
of
charge
on
any
