Fireworks, parades and BBQs-- oh my! Summer is definitely here and it’s a perfect time to gather your friends and family to celebrate our Independence Day. But, with July 4th falling in the middle of the week and so many other activities going on, how do you gather all your friends together?
We have a solution -- invite your friends to textPlus and stay in touch with a group text or start a private community. That way, everyone is on the same page and knows who’s bringing what. There is nothing worse than not enough hot dogs and too many buns. 
In addition, we are celebrating July 4th by giving away some awesome Converse shoes designed by you. Yes, you! For a chance to win, simply keep doing what you already do on textPlus -- inviting your friends to join in the fun. Invite three of your friends to textPlus from now until midnight on July 4th, and you will be automatically entered to win.
Check out these snazzy Converse shoes we designed here at textPlus HQ!
