  When you say free, as in totally free that you can send and receive anytime even without a plan? Or you mean free because it is already included in your prepaid or postpaid plan?

    Free as in: unlimited calls and texts are included in pretty much all but the most bargain bin plans nowadays.

    I was looking for a new cell provider a couple months ago, and I honestly don’t recall even seeing a plan that didn’t come with unlimited talk and text.

    Outside of the legally required 911 you’re not getting anything for 100% free from a carrier, because why would they?
