1. Tap "Textfree with Voice" from the home screen.

2. Tap the gear icon at the top to open options.

3. Tap "Enable Chat," and then log in to your Facebook account using the email address and password. You can also log in with a phone number if you've enabled that feature on Facebook.

4. Enter your phone number to complete the security check. Tap the "Text" or "Call Me" option to confirm the account belongs to you.

5. Enter the code you received into the box on the screen, and then click "Continue."

6. Leave the check mark by Let My Friends See My Number if you want your Facebook friends to see your Textfree number. Tap to clear it if you want the number to remain private.

7. Press "Submit," and then tap "Allow" to give Textfree permission to access your Facebook data. If you tap "Don't Allow," you're booted back to the options screen. It should now say "Online" next to Facebook Chat.
