I’ve been using an app, FreeTone, related to TextMe, to make phone calls and send text messages via the iPad. But lately, I’ve been unable to send texts. Can still make phone calls. I’ve restarted the app and the iPad, gone through the FAQs, and nothing there applies or helps.

I’ve emailed the company and got the “we’ll get back to you” autoreply, but nothing over the last five days and a second Hail Mary to them.

Any suggestions?

Try GoogleVoice.

I ported my mother’s cell number to it as her vision failed. She can see her iPad display much better than her iPhone.
