About Pulse SMS (Phone/Tablet/Web)
Pulse SMS is a seriously beautiful, next-generation, text messaging app. Did we mention that Pulse is also the highest rated messaging app on the Play Store?
Pulse SMS is completely free to use on your phone, we don't collect or sell your data, and you will never see any ads. How's that for a top-notch user experience? We care deeply about your experience with the app, and believe that ads and shady data collection ruin that experience.
To round out its best-in-class phone app, Pulse re-imagines your communication by giving you the ability to sync your SMS and MMS messages available across all of your devices. Send and receive texts and pictures - seamlessly - from your computer, tablet, watch, car, or any device with an internet connection. All through your personal phone number.
