I'm in Germany and don't own a US-account. Besides, I'm seriously confused right now. I vaguely remember having problems with finding the app in the German app store. At least right now it's not available. What I don't remember though is if it did appear at one time or I used the jailbroken state of my device for grabbing it by other means. Once I actually managed to get it to work, I haven't had any problems - it's all web-based, yes, though you can also use it to make calls and messages on the phone in the US i think.
Maybe René could help as he's also based in Germany. How did you manage to get a hold of Textplus - US-account? Anyways, I've heard that creating an US account is actually rather easily done, so that would be my best advice for you.
