Will cancel your account without explanation. I have used this app for several years. First stated having issues 1 year ago where my number was almost lost even though I had paid the subscription to keep my number. Now this week when I try to use the service I receive a message that my account has been terminated for violation of terms. However I have barely used the app in the last few months except for every once in a while and I am definitely sure I violated no terms as I have been using the app for several years. When I contacted customer service they informed me the account was closed for violation but are not able to tell me what the violation was and there is not appeal process to get reactivated. It is my feeling that they just wanted the subscription fee and then wanted to recycle my number to someone else. I do not recommend this app to anyone due to sketchy business practices and no business integrity. Update: They contacted me to try and resolve issue supposedly but would only say sorry we can't help your account terminated even though I had paid the yearly subscription fee to keep my number. This app use to be good, however as many of the other reviews have stated it is now a total scam to get money then free up cell number to other to try and scam over and over.

This used to be my favorite texting app.... I’ve been a TextNow user for many years, ever since 2011, and haven’t run into so much trouble until recently when their ads just became unbearable. I believe in ads and have even tried buying their service several times. However, the ads are ruining the experience. Whenever I enter the app and tap on a contact and begin to type a message the app just freezes. I sometimes end up calling my boss on accident due to the horrible lag. The actual texting and calling is good otherwise. The texting is far better than the calling at times. I have unlimited data, but this apps can go from working great to not working at all in seconds. I can see that it’s the ads causing all the issues. My fix would be to have ads take up less data or use less ads or use a better way to get these ads on the app. Please fix this devs. It gets very confusing and frustrating when I can’t use the app due to all the ads. I will try to get a plan to remove the ads, but the normal service is advertised as free. I do hope you can fix the interface to run smoothly once again. I will return to the app when it gets better.

Best Service. I have been a customer for the last two years and this app helped make the most difficult time of my life more bearable. When COVID hit the city I liv4d in in March of 2020 I was unable to pay my $55 phone bill and as a result they turned off my phone . FortunatleyI had#iFi and came across the app . Thanks to the app I was able to notify paramedics and my others hospice nurse when she was in the final stages of COVID and then family and friends when she passed the following day. I’ve tried other apps and was very disappointed. One in particular charged me $ 10and then wouldn’t let me make more than a couple of calls or texts and then said I had reached my,limit ! I l0ve this app and so grateful it helps people like me make it through the toughest of times without having to lose contact with others when it can be a life or death situation. Thank you much for being so beneficial to people who cannot make ends meet9n the middle of a global pandemic you’ve been a beacon of light !! Thank you so much for all you do to help without being greedy.

Good service, no local numbers. That’s TextNow in a nutshell. You get free calling and texting, and it’s hard to beat the price of free. Then again if you do want to beat the price of free, you can subscribe to AdFree+ and get more features while ditching the ads. Customer service has been okay in the three weeks I’ve had the service. Only one con I can find, and it isn’t the audio quality. Yes I wish call audio was better but considering TextNow built the service so it works even on throttle cellular data connections, I made my peace with the audio quality. The big problem with TextNow is that you’ll have a hard time finding a local number. Getting a number from Nevada when you live in Washington doesn’t sound that bad, unless you’re job hunting and companies hesitate to call you to avoid long distance charges on their landline office phones.

It’s not the best.... This app is great. Especially for me because I have an iPad, which means I cannot text phones from Samsung etc. This app is good because I could text my friends with phones from other providers. But, I faced many issues such as sometimes I would click on the app and it would shut me out and I would be back on the home screen after being in the app for about 3 seconds. I do get a lot of spam calls and a lot of people I don’t know txt me. It is really glitchy and sometimes I send messages and the person I am texting did not receive it. Another thing I didn’t like was I didn’t receive notifications most of the time when people texted me. One day I went on the app and all but the contact names went black. It shut me out of the app and I was back at the home screen. I tried many times getting back on the app, but it never worked. Then I got back on about a couple months later and I was logged out of my account! I can’t get back on and I don’t know what to do!! All of my text messages with my friends and family are gone. I would not recommend this app... it has just brought me so much anger and unless they fixed something with a magical update I don’t know if it’s going to be any good because I WAS LOGGED OUT OF MY ACCOUNT AND CAN’T CHECK FOR YOU. Hope this helped.

Rings my real phone with no way to disconnect or turn it off. I got TextNow because I wanted an extra number for when I do research or to give to salespeople or other times I don’t want to be directly contacted. TextNow definitely gives you a useable number and you can pay to upgrade to “lock it in” so the number doesn’t change and you can use it for text verification of other services. That’s good. HOWEVER. Anyone with your TextNow number can CALL you and your cell phone where the app is installed will RING! There’s NO WAY to turn this off in the settings, even if you go in Notifications and turn off Badges, Sounds, etc. I thought the whole point of having an extra number was so I could go in and check messages at MY leisure. Instead, my personal phone is ringing morning noon and night with sales calls. I might as well have just given out my real number. Super annoying.

Dropped My Phone Plan for Text Now!!. For 99 cents and $5 dollars a YEAR i can make phone calls, text unlimited, and have better service than when i had at&t! Im not working right now and Text Now was a life saver. i would be without a working phone right now, but instead i have a perfectly functioning phone for less than six dollars. the $5 a year is to be able to receive codes to your number which is unbeatable. The only thing I can say i wish worked better was the functionality of the app. sometimes it lags or wants to work slow. still cant beat it! im updating my review after having the paid plan for almost a year. i still stand by what i said in the beginning. we had an ice storm recently that knocked our power out for two days. If it wasn’t for text now I would have had no form of communication, but I was texting and calling, as if nothing was going. Sometimes the LTE that comes free with text now lets me do simple google searches which is amazing, especially when you don’t have wifi. This is hands down the best texting app on the app store. it’s even better than line!

Could be better. I am not sure if it is my phone, or the phones of my contacts. At times, even when I seem to send them messages, they inform me that they do not receive them. Or when I call them, they say they do not receive a record of me calling them. I like the style and interface of the app, it is very appealing, but it is just these small inconveniences that make the experience troublesome. One feature that I would love to see is that when you send someone a message/text, that there would be a little notification that says “John has seen your message” or a simple little “seen” notification. Like on Instagram messaging. That would make this app much better, and would restore my confidence in it. It is a great app, and I would take it over any other competitor, just fix these things, and add that feature, and I would eagerly share with more of my friends and family. Thank you! 😁

By FAR thee best application….. I am just so very pleased and thankful for a company like this and the app!! As someone who keeps having the worst luck with typical cell phone companies constantly screwing up my accounts and leaving me to be the one to pay the price for their mistakes. I’ve been in a position several times where my phone service was interrupted and unable to use my phone. So I am extremely grateful for this company. And the fact that they have a free service of using a phone number that only needs wifi to make it work. Which has saved me many times when I was in a position of needing to make an emergency call. I’ve tested just about every app that is similar to this one. But their services are very limited and only offer a few features that are free before they cut you off and demand some sort of purchase. I’ve now purchased services from this app simply because I want to show my appreciation and support to a company and app that gives their customers an option of service for free and without ever trying to force you to be a paying customer. I love this app!!!

The Oscar’s for the biggest fake-fish of fake and selfish 🚮🚻🔂🔃🔄🔁⬇️.

Budget Friendly User Friendly. 🤓🧐😎I have been using this app for a while now. I’ll list pros and Cons and why: ✨Pros: 100% Free You get to choose your number User Friendly Accesses current contacts Works on any Wi-Fi even hotspot Clear Calls ✨Cons: The ads (not being able to skip after a few seconds) No FaceTime There’s not trash box for old conversations Deletes stores name when a number is blocked 🔥Over all this app is thee best phone app out there. I have used them all and this is my go to. Realiable & easy to use😉 jump off the fence if you’re not sure 🤙🏼 To save your number for a year it’s only $5. The only sucky part is If you change your number you have to do another $5 to get the new number for the year. HUGE NOTE to the creators 🗣🗣🗣 the app when anyone calls now (not sure why) but every time someone calls it goes straight to vm. They have to call twice for my phone to ring on my end :/ plz fix this

Amazing quality!!. I had text now app for a long while and then I caught wind of their free cell service, I ordered a sim card and I installed it in my iPhone and activated it. Once I activated the sim card I went down the street and I was able to make and receive high quality audio calls and the texts send and receive fast, you truly get free cell service yes $0.00 with no WiFi I am able to call and text this is a wonderful thing!! I decided to transfer my cell number over to TextNow and it was a smooth and pleasant process that took less then 24 hours!! I transferred my number from Straight Talk to TextNow. There is no cell data included with the free plan but that’s ok with me I’ll just use the internet on WiFi, although if you wanted cell data TextNow has affordable options. What’s the catch you say ? There are ads that pop up from time to time when you call or text but besides that there is no catch!! I highly recommend this it’s great

Updated: Misleading SIM card kit plan. Updated. I was all wrong. Tech support was able to send instructions to fix my situation. It was working within 5 minutes. That’s all it took. Live Chat support was very supportive. Issue resolved and rating updated. Thank you. The offer is truly free no strings attached. Thanks again. (It offers free unlimited calling and texting with one time purchase of the SIM card kit on our nationwide network. So it says on the advertisement. There’s an asterisk in the advertisement however when you scroll down you can’t find the notice for the asterisk. It’s only after purchase I realize the SIM card purchase only activates the free calling on WiFi only portion of the plan. Free texting remains the same on WiFi only. My phone did not work outside. You need to purchase the AdFree+ plan or a data plan to have your phone work outside. The SIM card kit offer page she be updated without any words mentioning or referencing your nationwide network. That is highly misleading and disingenuous. It’s a classic bait and switch.)

Works great but one weird issue..... I love TextNow! I have used it for years and it has had its share of bugs and glitches but they always get updated and fixed in the end! I will continue to use the app but I have experienced a few “Call Interferences” that kind of freak me out when they happen. It’s only happened about 3 times and I cannot find anything online about anyone else who is experiencing this issue but basically what happens is - I’ll be on the phone with my boyfriend or someone else and everything is just fine but then all of the sudden the call gets really staticy and a separate voice from ours enters the call as if we just called them and their answering their phone! At first I thought my boyfriend was messing with me but I have had this experience while talking to other people as well! When I respond to the voice they can’t hear us but I know I’m not crazy because the person I am talking to hears it to. Please look into this.

TextNow, what happened?. Have been using TN for a couple years and considered it a 4-5 star app that I truly loved... but that was until the last couple months. According to what my iPhone says I do believe I have the newest version.. idk what the issue is. Several problems: •Phone will ring, but instead of given the answer/reject options, my screen says I’m already In the call. And my phone is still ringing out loud but I can’t answer it. Sometimes killing the app won’t make the ringing stop and I have to reset my phone. •75% of the time I AM able to answer the call, it is dead silence on the other end and vice versa. •Phone calls are just a wreck. Several textnow user friends of mine are having the same issues. Anything from basic glitching, lagging, can’t hear the other person well, etc. WEIRDest thing is: •My friend signed into their account one time for a few minutes. A long time ago. Since then, anytime she gets a call, that call also will ring my accounts, just whichever one I’m signed into at the time. This happens on any device I’m using. Her sign in was never saved or linked or anything it is SUPER weird. Sometimes it won’t actually ring but I will get the missed call notification. This also happens to some of my personal calls. •Phone call lags. I’ll say something and the other person hears it a couple seconds late and vice versa(like when news reporters are talking to each other from different locations)

Not happy. The last update turned my app blank. Unfortunately I can’t remember my email and this is the only way for me to regain access. So I see people are messaging me but I can not see what it says. There isn’t a way to talk to anyone live thus everything is via text. I ask if they could send me a message to verify my account I was told no. I asked if I could verify the phone by my device id I was told no. I could verify 3 numbers that have texted me on the number. There should be more than one way to verify your account. Or an easier way to regain access to your account and speaking to a person would be nice. There are very important messages on the number. You collect my Device ID, my location and have the ability to conduct a diagnostic test on the app crashing. You could choose to use this data to help individuals whom forgot their email address or mistyped their email address to retrieve their account (even if there was a small fee) Please do more to assist other than have me validated an email address that I could have mistyped. Please

App is useless after latest update. Idk what happened to this app but it’s been complete garbage the last few days (both the iPhone and the iPad versions of the app). It completely overloads the device’s operating system or something because when I try to open the app whatever media is playing in the background (and would normally continue to play in the background) stops playing. This wouldn’t really bother me if it was the only problem, but from there it only gets worse. The app freezes and will not respond to any taps. I’ve tried task killing the app and then restarting it but nothing changes. I’ve also tried doing a soft reset/force re-starting the devices, and then trying the app again to see if it’s working, but that hasn’t helped either. At first I thought it was my phone but then I realized the same thing was happening on my iPad too, so it must be the app itself because I’m not having any issues like this with any other apps. I really wish/hope the developer fixes the app because this was my favorite messaging app (before the update). But now that it’s completely unusable I’m going to have to try out some other apps and see if I can find a suitable alternative. Goodbye (for now?) TextNow ✌️

Garbage. This app is garbage. They take your money, they sell your information, and then they do not deliver what they promised. They will not allow you to use the number for verification codes, like to open Facebook or Instagram. That makes it absolutely useless if you think you’re going to use it for your only number. It cannot work. if you want to be able to use it for verification codes, they want another $20 from you or something. They are constantly bombarding you with ads, even if you buy the ad free versions. It has been the worst purchase I have made in over a year of bad purchases on the Apple store. Apple wonders why their store is getting less and less traffic and going to crap? It’s because they continue to allow these foreign, jack wagons to put apps on here that are unverified and basically just looking for a way to rip off hard-working English-speaking people. Don’t do what I did! Don’t buy this app there are plenty of others to choose from Lake text, free or any of the Pringer apps. They are out to fleece you too, but at least they don’t hide it

Ads have become unbearable. I’ve had TextNow for over 4 years and counting. I used to love this app because the ads while they were there (as they ought to be since it’s a free service), they were non intrusive and bearable. It was a tiny banner ad in between messages in the inbox . That’s it. However in the past few months it has gotten so bad that I’ve considered simply uninstalling the app and moving on . I’ve always used this service as a secondary number for non personal stuff (I even paid to get my number locked in) , but now it seems it’s not even worth it. To say that the ads are very frequent would be a total understatement.. it literally seems that after every call made , you get blasted with a 20-30 second full screen ad (which you cannot skip or close or do anything with other than wait it out) . Why should I have to deal with that so often ? It never used to be like this and if it had to come to the point in which full screen ads like that had to be implemented , then ok if it was once in a while fine , I would just deal with it. But every other phone call or 30 seconds of going through messages? Nah that’s too much I’m sorry. You guys sold out plain and simple.

Good App but Super Annoying Updates!. I like my textnow app, I’ve had it for years and actually use it VERY frequently. Textnow has been the most consistent and convenient text app out forever. HOWEVER. The new features and updates are SUPER annoying and inconvenient! I hate that my message threads get messed up and out of order, can’t get verification codes anymore, and there are a lot more ads now. But none of that is as frustrating as when you go to make a call and you hear “you made to many calls in a short time” and it hangs up. WTH TEXTNOW that’s is the worst update/feature EVER. When the signal is shotty and your trying to call back someone then it cuts you off. In an emergency you can’t call someone back right away. Or even if you hang up with someone and call someone else you can’t. PLEASE GET RID OF THAT FEATURE. Anyway outside of those things textnow is a good app when you need it.

Calling won’t work, can’t receive texts. So I have been using TextNow for a LONG time, and I can say it is one of the best messaging apps I have ever used, I can use it for friends who don’t have their number registered with iMessage. But I have to point out a few things wrong: when I try to start or receive a call, either the caller can hear me and I cannot hear them, or the other way around. I would like to have this fixed because calls can be very important and it is quite annoying. Next thing, sometimes I can’t receive texts. If I was having a conversation with someone, I have to leave their chat and go to the main ‘home’ screen of TextNow, and wait for them to send a message or for it to come in. It does not happen all the time but I would like to be able to not have to refresh the page etc, to receive messages. I hope this review was understandable and I tried my best to be clear with the issues I am having. Thank you for listening.

Advertisements Ruin this App. I believe in advertiser support for a free app but they are so INVASIVE in Text now that it is barely usable. Ads run in between every 4-5 calls, they are so large I accidentally click them when trying to scroll recent calls. I’m sure this is intentional. Ads pop up and end calls 4-5 times daily and end business calls. Do not depend on this app for anything important! It will fail and embarrass you. When app opens you are FORCED to wait up to 2 minutes for ad to time out and it never self closes. I have to find the close on the ad which is someplace different on every ad. Don’t try to make last minute calls or dial 911, you will definitely be waiting. DEVELOPERS: make the app closable after a specified time, like 15-20 seconds, trust me I know what your seller is selling after watching for that long. App never terminated calls from advertisements and ran 2 entire minutes until a few month ago. App is only useful if you do not mind waiting 2minutes to make a call and having your calls CONSTANTLY disconnected by ads.

It’s cool it ok for free service/terrible now. Sooooo I’ve had textnow for a few years, the more they try to fix bugs the worse it gets! The ads,are messing up the ap,ok its free,but don’t make it mess up the ap! I always missed calls now,never had that before! The fact you can’t send video is a lil wack! But again it’s free! You can’t send more than one picture at a time! But again it’s free lol! Just recently I have noticed when you try to send a picture,it automatically picks the last picture you took! I DO NOT LIKE THAT! Because sometimes I don’t know itnsent someone that picture! It freezes a lot more now thn last year! Also textnow,needs to cut down on people making multiple textnow accounts,just to spam people and harass people ,start getting device info,and ips,and only allow one textnow per email,device,and ip,and make them verify an email! That will help a great deal! So for it being free when you are connected to WiFi is good! Ok it’s now dec29,2018 the app is even more horrible ,it’s blocking numbers I didn’t block ,being very slow! And deleting texts I didn’t delete ,please work on where we can block entire area codes,telemarketing calls are becoming insane! I’ve got 100 numbers blocked from the same company

It’s Free... But At A Cost. I’ll start by saying free service is free service. I couldn’t be more grateful to have unlimited calling and texting via cellular and not just WiFi. All of my 3 stars go to this and this alone because that’s where the good stops. The ads are annoying but sure, but that’s what you get with free service so I won’t complain to much. Reception is mediocre at best but again... free. However, the app itself is VERY LAGGY. Half of the time, I don’t even get notified of a phone call, even when hooked up to WiFi and it cannot be blamed on poor service. I’ve had entire conversations poof into thin air without me manually deleting them, only to find out later that I had missed a new message or call from said person because of the conversation being magically deleted. At the end of the day, TextNow needs to get their act together and provide us a well functioning app. If it doesn’t improve in the future, I’ll have to look elsewhere and I’m sure others will as well.

Quick and easy to deal with. I’ve been using this app for a couple of months now, and I feel very happy with the results it’s a wonderful tool when you have a small business or you just need a different phone number. The only thing I didn’t like is that apparently the person who had my current number before had a lot of debt, so it took me a while to get rid of all those unwanted calls from Debt collectors that I was getting on daily bases at all times. Other than that I’m very happy with the service, I’m still learning about it, for ex. Now I know that pictures or videos that I received by text are only there temporarily also I know that in order to don’t lose your number you need to upgrade to premium to lock your number or use the service because your number can be revoke due to inactivity. Other than that you service is good, props to the team of TextNow.

Stop playing ads during calls!. I have been using TextNow for years. I absolutely loved it up until add started being played during phone calls. This wouldn’t be an issue except when they play, you can’t hear the person you are talking to on the phone! So as soon as it starts playing, it’s like your conversation is put on pause for a good 20 to 30 seconds. It’s really inconvenient because the other person has no idea what’s going on and many times will hang up. I understand that it’s necessary to have ads because it’s a free app and you need to make money somehow, but why wouldn’t you put the ads at the end of the call. It makes much more sense for the add to start playing as soon as the person hangs up the conversation. This is why I rarely use TextNow anymore. I prefer to use Google voice now because it’s free with NO ads.

there’s no way this app has an average 4.8 rating. See the app’s TrustPilot reviews for a rating that’s closer to reality. ORIGINAL REVIEW My own experience: Bought a SIM card for $1 with free delivery. Activated and tested on an iPhone. Calls and texts can only be made through the TextNow app, not the Phone and Messages apps. When you go into the Settings part of the TextNow app there’s no obvious way to get back to the screen with calls and text messages, other than force quitting the app. Also, calls made through the TextNow app often don't go through at all - they just keep ringing in the app but there’s no incoming call on the other phone. Sometimes calls don’t go through at first, then after a few minutes when you've already started doing something else, the phone starts ringing and the only way to stop it is to force quit the TextNow app. To sum up, it's a mess. Don't rely on this "free" service. Instead, get the cheapest prepaid plan that will actually work when you need it. REPLY TO THE DEVELOPER’S RESPONSE I just downloaded the app (to try the service) so of course it is the most recent version. As for the permissions, I enabled everything the app asked for, which is easy to do in iOS. Neither the version of the app nor its permissions are the problem. The problem is bad service. It works some of the time when on Wi-Fi, but the whole point of this “free” service is to be reliable when you’re away from Wi-Fi. And that’s when it falls apart.

Sorry but not sorry. I’m giving this app a 1 star because it’s always giving me trouble. It lags, freezes, force closes on its own or the audio is not so great. If I do get a call or if I call someone, there’s times they don’t hear me or I don’t hear them. Sometimes I don’t even receive calls or text messages which is not good because I have missed very important phone calls or text messages in the past due to all of these issues. I’ve had this app for about over 3 years now and it just doesn’t get any better. Well not for me at least. The only reason why I still use it, it’s because I’ve had my TextNow number for awhile and don’t want to lose it. Plus I really don’t want to download any texting apps. I barely have the time to be downloading different texting apps just to find the right one unless if I really need to. So I hope you guys can fix these issues and maybe I can give you a better rating if I see improvement. I’m sorry but I’m not sorry. This has been going on for to long.

Okay at best. Good for emergencies and something quick you can have with you. Not a full mobile carrier service as what it is advertised. Even when you subscribe to the highest package, it still is a simple phone service you find here on the app stores. This does not work for discord chat. The data plans are advertised but those do not work. Maybe it is a future release? There is no support right now for data, it’s only advertised come here to pick out your data plan. Best thing overall is it tries to act like a real phone network on what they say the t-mobile network. It’s not the full capabilities. UPDATE: data plans do work with a SIM card. It wasn’t working with esim. It is great for emergencies, quick phone to get around, and good for work chats. Everything has to be done in the app although you can use call forwarding. The app is complicated and takes time to use unlike a full mobile carrier service which is easier to manage.

Don’t like new ad changes and recent call change. I’ve used this app for 4 years now and seen it go from great to getting worse by the day… now there are ads everywhere between messages, pushing up my last message, you name it… but the worse is now when you are in a call with either slow or not very strong wifi it keeps saying “please wait, trying to reconnect your call, please wait” bla bla bla why did you add this cause now the other person can’t hear you or me hear them cause this messages sometimes repeats itself like 5 times that’s almost a minute without being able to communicate with other person and they have no idea what’s going on… this is a very noticeable change, non of this under the hood changes… please remove this back to what it was this will make me walk away from this app I had to use other app to get back on call without this message having to come up constantly…

TextNow works great with SIM card. Have been using TextNow for years. But now finally ordered the TextNow SIM card which is really only a Sprint SIM card. You punch out the nano SIM card from the mailer that you receive via USPS, and then you insert that SIM card into your unlocked (or sprint-locked) iPhone. Then go into the TextNow app in your iPhone to activate. You will still need this app to make calls and send texts. But if you have no WiFi, then TextNow uses 4G LTE. Turn off WiFi and was still making calls. But you cannot do regular internet with the TextNow SIM card if you only use TextNow for FREE. Have to pay extra if you want cellular data for doing regular internet when no WiFi. Anyways, now have my extra old unlocked iPhone SE turned back on as a working phone again.

Buyer beware. If you buy the app like I did to avoid the advertisements you can expect the advertising to continue. I did the free version for a while and thought if I buy it then I won’t have to see the adds again, boy was I wrong. The adds never went away, the only thing that went away was my money from my bank. The app is also slow as heck, it is slow when you send photos, it is slow when you type messages, it’s just slow slow slow. The pros to having the app, I downloaded it on my desktop computer, I can type on a keyboard, I use it for business to text customers about their auto repair, and they think it’s my cellphone and I get to tell them “I’m sorry but I use a texting app to text from my office computer”. This way they don’t get my personal cell number. So, pros and cons, everything has them. But to pay for an ad free app and they still are there makes me not happy. So keep your money and use the free version, there is no difference.

Dreadful Support! Dreadful useless app!. #1: USE TALKU OR DINGTONE!! always guaranteed credits to earn through watching videos and playing games-very interactive! And one of the best for free-yes free international calls and texts that actually go through! It’s not perfect 100% of the time but it’s gotten so much better. Avoid TEXTNOW. You’re lucky if you can earn one credit a day. Talking to support today made me want to literally rip my eyes out because I was going in circles with someone who clearly didn’t read or understand not only the initial issue, but know what’s in their FAQs and articles. 1st, they have a submit a request feature through the app, but then when you submit a request, you get a canned reply through email saying they don’t use that anymore and to utilize chat instead. Then you need to remove anything that is obsolete from your app!! A customer should not be going in circles to try to get help. I had to explain to this person practically 3 times what I was referring to. For example-they say you can complete offers for credit but there is nowhere to ever do that! So do not refer me to Tap Joy when you don’t even offer the opportunity to earn credits for offers! It was just awful… I wind up turning off the message communication with this person because my patience was depleted.

5atars but it needs some thing. Hi and thanks for making that cool app but there is. A only thing that is not great is that if I. Not use the app messaging I can loose my number at anytime so please make a number renewal system for free /yr and this could be magnificent and you are already the best!!! All that was before today , today I have discovered that I can’t receive verefication codes anymore ... some of my accounts which contains fees and real money are now inaccessible... I don’t know what to say it’s more than a crime to ask a user to subscribe to your plans to access his private messages ! I’m leaving text now and I’m not the only ! And btw here is my updated review : still disappointed cause text now is accessing people privacy across it’s servers and lied about the full privacy they give to their user and additionally I have always checked in my number and kept it going and I don’t need that feature to keep it going thank you for respecting my opinion and improving your service to keep it more accessible or else you’ll keep on loosing customers ... just like me !

Purchased subscription, lost number(2). I paid the $4.99/yr for locking my number, and now all of a sudden a month later i click on the app to try and look at what number i have so i can log back into my Telegram account that i needed it for, and it will only ask for me to choose a new number. It’s clearly a glitch though, because it will show the list of texts i have gotten on the number i already paid to use and keep for less than a second before the other screen pops up in front of it. I can’t get around it. Update: i went back and forth with customer service over email and provided them the information they asked for, and a week later even after i ask if there’s been any update on progress, i get nothing back. I found out whoever has my number now deleted my telegram account to make their own with the number, so trying to keep it is just pointless now. Don’t use this app. They put receiving verification codes and “locking in” your number so that people don't take your information or number behind a paywall, but then it doesn’t even lock it in! I still got my number reassigned to somebody else and they were still able to log into my account and delete it so they could make their own. Waste of time and money. It took me two weeks of being logged out of my account for me to finally realize that all of this has been for nothing.

Best phone App available!!. Besides text now completely deleting and banning one of my phone numbers which are used for over a year just up and deleting it besides that incident since I’ve gotten another account and this new phone number everything is smoothly again this is the absolute best texting phone app if you want to text and keep keep in communication with people without giving them your actual real phone number. You do not need credit so I have to pay for anything the ads are a little annoying and I did pay for them to be gone completely with my old account but like I said it got completely deleted out of nowhere by text now and so didThe ad free thing I had paid for and now they want you to pay monthly instead of a one time fee forget that

5 stars. Hey there if you haven’t already discovered text now it’s time you did. It’s easy to use you get to pick the number you want and you can earn points to use towards international calls. Yeah it’s even got great stickers for just another anything you text about great emojis and you can even use your favorite gifs to. Use your contacts and block those annoying telemarking calls. There are adds but they are worth it with the great service that you get for free text and talk. Don’t forget you can always add on for actual service with text and talk for low low price if it’s just 1 month 3 months or even a year it’s easy to join easy to use and get help when ever you need to I recommend text and TextNow all the time right now. It definitely deserves 5 stars. Thanks TextNow!!

Awesome service. Thank you for this free service I for one certainly do appreciate this when my actual paid phone service is on “vacation “ I live in country and service out here is nearly impossible to have but thankfully for extra security of phone service and WiFi this app has not failed me even ONCE voice is actually clearer than paid service I’m currently using due to contract so when expensive contract phone I currently have is up I certainly will be using paid for part of this Text Now app for my future phone service Great service for people struggling with so most costs and free phone and text app is so needed and is blessing for many so again thanks for this free service that makes it possible for so many that can’t afford it otherwise See you soon as paid customer

Works (enough said). Tried a bunch of these - some have cache numbers, some have extra features - but text now is fast and reliable. If that’s your main concern/need, this app actually works, and at times better than my phone carrier - especially from iPad - clarity on videos at times is a little grainy but at least you don’t miss critical communication for the most part. More than I can say for most similar products. If you have a reliable internet whether phone or Wi-Fi the app is consistent. Couple issues in the past and customer service not really very responsive but reasonably priced and seemed to have worked out any issues in my humble experience. I’ve paid for premium and still get adds but at least texts and calls come in quickly. What else you need?

Text Now Review. I absolutely love the text no app! It’s convenient and steady. FMy family and I have used it for 5 years! What I like about bout text now is the fact that no matter what , I can always access it through any device I choose to use whenever I choose to use it! Another great thing about text now is when I do have to access it through a secondary device all my info and previous messages are still there! That is super convenient being I lose everything especially phone numbers and messages! But text now keeps all that stored and it’s accessible to me 24/7. Sometimes paying my and my family’s phone bills can be very stressful at times because it’s expensive and I’m not able to get all of them payed at the same time. So having text now as a back up or second number. I along with my children Can assure my friends and family that they’re still able to contact me through texting or calling. Thanks text now!🤗

Glitchy. I have been having issues for months now, it would freeze or crash on my iPad mini 4 with the newest version of iOS and the last couple weeks have been horrible! Not getting important texts, or phone calls. It was like my ringer was off, it wasn’t! Once I opened the app it would say 4 Missed Calls, and it never rang! I tested it with a friends phone and called my apps number, it rang on his end but not on my end. After uninstalling and reinstalling the app, restarting before reinstalling, it has gone from being pretty reliable to wondering if I’ll be getting my phone calls! It went from a 4 star App to a 2 star app, and WoW, did I mention adds? Come on Text Now, Do we need adds flashing and popping up? No wonder the App keeps closing when I go to open it, the app is trying to run adds before loading messages! To much running makes apps crash!, UPDATE MAY 17th 2020, I’m still not getting notifications of incoming calls, my Alert goes off for a second and stops. Then a friend called and said somebody answered but wasn’t me. How’s this possible?? I’m not happy with this. Why is this happening? Who’s answering my calls when I’m not?

TERRIBLE.. SCAM/NO REFUND!!. I trusted TextNow for a couple of years until I heard you connect to their wireless data. Yes it works with WiFi but I decided to try the free wireless data and bought it for $10 and the same day I received my activation kit, I decided to cancel it because of some sketchy stuff that was going on with the SIM card not working and my device not connecting to their wireless data it said no refund but on their website before you buy the activation kit they advertise that they will give you a 30 day return refund and you get your money back but that’s a total lie I got no refund as it stated in the email (which had no reply) meaning I can’t reply to whoever sent that email so now I just lost $10... this is a total scam please don’t fall for it you’re just going to lose money do not fall for their free wireless plan or go with any of their plans. It’s all sketchy and just fake advertisements to get your money & improve their app. Something else I also found sketchy about TEXTNOW is that I’ve been looking for a customer service number/email and I couldn’t find anything it just takes me to a site that answers irrelevant questions. SMH BIG FAILURE!!!

Almost a 5 Star. I have used this app for years and it is my only communication app or rather phone app. This is all o have to stay connected with anyone. It has always made me happy for what it is. Every once in awhile I have a problem with something nothing major or life threatening it will usually clear up or get fixed within a day or so without even saying anything about it. Recently the last update it would not open it crashed time again I did everything I could with app and my iPhone. For three days I was without communication with ppl. But one morning thee it was sitting with my apps working. There are littlest things that might not be the greatest but this app is by far the best around of its kind. I do pay for the no ads and keep same number. This app is worth it.

Convenient with Wi-Fi. So I work really really hard but like a lot of people- sometimes in between paydays comes that phone bill. Which can be that little extra that’s either going to get you by or give you phone. Of course I choose to use it to get by! Downloading this app- I have Wi-Fi at home and at work. So while I’m here or at home I can call my FS card to check my balance (which can be VERY important when I need milk for my 2 yr old ect;) and I’m unsure of what I’ve got- and avoid embarrassment in the store being declined for misunderstanding my balance. It can be helpful for a lot. I need it for little thank God but where I need it- it comes in clutch like any phone I PAY for to make calls. I don’t use it as my main use but it’s definitely 1000% my go-to in a tight spot. Thank you Creators! (If you use this for texting pics, videos, voicemail; I think you pay for it but it’s like $10 a month…whiiiich is still $50 MINIMUM cheaper than a lot of plans elsewhere- I only use it for sparingly important phone calls in-between paydays so it’s perfect for users like me and that function- really is free.)

Okay. I do love this app I use it all the time but sometimes when I press the hang up button it is really slow and glitchy and when I go to the app it will shut me out of it when I’m only in the app for 3 seconds but again I use this app all the time but I also get a lot of random numbers call and text me and it does get super annoying but I love this app so so so much I use it so much and it’s just really slow and glitchy but I mean it is what it is also this app is very very slow and glitchy when I go on the app it will take a while for it to actually load even when I full bars of WiFi’s and everything I think maybe it’s just really slow and I noticed if I get more than 13 phone numbers it will delete my most recent person I texted and if I don’t use my app for a 3 days it will log me out and say I need to get a new number I have spent so much time on this app and it’s not that good of quality I hop you guys the best to try and fix it and this app would be the bomb but as of right now it’s not such a great app🥰!

Glitchy and ads overwhelm the experience. TextNow is a great idea and provides a great service essentially - that you can have a free phone number and call North America from anywhere in the world -however the user experience is pretty bad. The app is slow, extremely glitchy, and the ads are meant to overwhelm your experience. The ad situation has gotten substantially worse in recent months. The standard bad ad experience on the app is that the ads pop up on the home screen constantly and they are hard to close. But recently I had the experience that video ads start playing through my calls and as the call time progresses the interval between the time the video ad plays gets shorter and shorter. So what happens is you're talking to someone and then an extremely loud ad (way above the call audio volume) starts playing over your call. You can shut it down but it will just start back up again a few moments later. Really unbearable. I am keeping the app because it's in its development stages and I'm hoping it will go in a different direction when it receives more funding. As a traveler it's a great tool for me, just wish it wasn't such a harrowing tool to use.

Don’t do it!!. I’ve been using Text Now for a few months. At first, it started out like a great substitution for the more expensive (and horrible) Sprint service I’ve been wasting my money on. Since they both use the same network, I’d rather pay less for unreliable and sketchy phone service. But believe me, Text Now service is not at all reliable either. You won’t get much reception indoors, your texts msgs may or may not send, and there will be times when you won’t get phone calls. Anyway, my rant today is because TextNow took things to a new low. Today my bill is due and they SHUT ME OFF on the day it’s due. AND it’s a Saturday, so I can’t transfer money from my savings account into my (bill paying) account until Monday. I take complete ownership for not remembering about transferring sooner. Thanksgiving was just 2 days ago and I lost all sense of time in the planning. But to give NO notice is going too far. Since I drive for Uber, I cannot work or earn money either until Monday as well and I’M FURIOUS!!! They are screwing with my livelihood. So PLEASE reconsider your choice to use this service. Don’t be dumb like me. Find another way. Or someday you’ll be writing a scathing review too.

Big problems. This was a good app. Today I didn’t receive 2 critical text messages. Instead, I received 2 text messages from your company saying that now I must pay to receive text messages…if I have a particular version of your app. I spent an hour hunting for my app’s version # without success. 1. What is the version # of my app? The emailed link to purchase the text messaging capability didn’t work. 2. Is that because I have the wrong version? How do I receive text messages as in the past? I spent an hour searching for a tech support phone or email without success. 3. How do I contact tech support? In trying to sign up for the text messaging plan, I accidentally purchased “lock in your #.” I don’t need that service 4. How do I get my $ back? Or, better yet, how do I get the plan switched from “lock in your #!” to “text messaging.” Your website and the Apple App store say that both phoning and texting are free, which apparently is untrue. 5. Isn’t false advertising illegal? - I reinstalled the app today to be sure I have the latest version. I have sent multiple text messages from my phone - not one has come through. Calls works, but not text messages.

Amazing but.... I live for this app! Occasionally, you can use the number for other apps as well! I personally like using this number that I have on here for apps instead of my personal one. But for all good things there comes a bad. Random people have gotten a hold of my number and started calling me at random times. They will literally non-stop text and call me sometimes. I have no clue how they’ve gotten my phone number. But besides the random people texting you time to time, if you have the patience to deal with it like me, I definitely recommend this app. If the people do contact you, just report and block. Thank you for reading my review! If you’re considering getting this app, I think you definitely should. Note that not all the numbers you get on this app will work for other apps, I learned that when I made another number :)

Spam calls. I’m getting a ridiculous amount of spam calls. I have ‘blocked and reported’ at least 20 between yesterday morning and today 1pm. They are all different numbers but from the same area codes, it’s getting so annoying that I’m considering deleting the app and finding something else. Who are you giving my number to? When I had voicemail turned on, the calls would leave 3 second silent messages, I’ve turned off voicemail now just to stop getting a second notification. If I answer and don’t say anything (because I’m sure it’s a bot and not a real person with actual business with me), the call hangs up within 10 seconds and it’s silent. I’ve had ‘debt collector’ calls before, it’s always a person in a call center who at least asks ‘hello?’ when the call picks up, this is different. Don’t tell me to ‘block and report’. I’ve done that and it’s no good as they keep using a new number. It’s hugely disrupting to my day. Not worth keeping the app if this continues tomorrow.

Stay away scammy app/service. I purchased a subscription to lock in my for 1 year and they disable my account a few days later with no reason or warning. They have non existent support and will ignore you. Just give me a refund.

Why the f is camera turning when I open your app. Why is the camera turning when I open your app and didn’t start anything related to video

Price increase has driven me away. I’ve been a loyal paid user of TextNow for many years. With their price increase of ~20 times and no significant improvements in the app or service to show for it, it’s time for me to go elsewhere. At least the low-cost carrier plans (using my secondary eSIM) are subject to FTC/CRTC oversight on such egregious price jumps. Keeping an additional star from the bare minimum as they were good times in the past, but I can’t recommend this product as I simply no longer trust this developer in holding a price and not imposing yet another jump in price at any time in the future.

Can’t text anymore. Worked for a while but now I can’t send or receive texts I tried to delete the app and redownload it but still wont work

App is incredible Laggy. The app is incredibly laggy when texting other people. This is the only app that is doing so on my phone

Problem with Vertification code , not receiving it anymore with upgrades fyi. Hello (1) I’m Unable to receive my verification code for my other application telegram Says I need version 21.8 or higher and I have version 23.15.0.9 For some reason it is NOT working ... please fix ... thanks ... ——- (2) telus blocking our calls

Im in your ceiling. Im in your ceiling and I will devour you in your nightmares

Scammers. Scam, used to be like $7 to lock in a number for a year.. it’s 8.99 to lock in for just a week now, snake developers.

No Warning Suspend Account. Not a serious app and don’t use it either you paid or not. I paid it got suddenly suspended without reason or warning. Serious user NOT recommended except you want to get in trouble.

Doesn’t work. The app is a scam. Literally. I don’t know how it got the 4-5 stars here, but they are scammers. They charged me, and then displayed an error that “we couldn’t process the payment, cancel the subscription”. I checked my history, and they actually had charged me, apple also confirmed it.

Privacy non-compliance. The company owns the app does not comply data protection laws and retain personal information.

paid version rip off. Better get mint mobile service which $15 per month. Even with roaming mint service will be cheaper than this rip off.

Good at first. The app is well made, then about a week into using it I was flooded with ads and messages that wouldn’t go through. I can’t make calls anymore.

No help from support. They are afraid of not letting people use VPN They give u a number that some people use for scamming some out of money But are so afraid of VPN. My company uses VPN what are you so afraid off but not allowing your app to work through VPNs

Great app, prices hiked exponentially. Missing auto dark mode and price increases from yearly 7$ to weekly 7$ to lock sim …

Used to be great.. not anymore. $9/week??. I have been a subscriber for years, paying to lock in my number and removing ads. Recently ads came back without notice and I am now being asked to pay $9/ week instead of $9 per year for this service? Unbelievable %1900 price increase? You are sabotaging yourself. I suggest using a different texting app.

$9 a week!!!. Should I sell you my kidney? Your pricing is a rip off. Stay away!! Don’t waste your time.

Was Fine.. Until New Update... I’ve been using TextNow for quite a while without any issues(minor ones if any). I didn’t want to but it kept telling me to update… so I did.. Now it won’t even load. Just a white screen… Now what?!..

Alright except for people calling me!. Many people have had a difficult time calling me. At times, I can't even dial out unless it's from strong wifi. Quite irritating...

Not Reliable. This app used to be good. I paid for premium but can’t even see regular texts in the app after seeing them in my notifications bar.

Awful support. Bought a paid subscription. Got locked out of my account because I used iCloud private relay. Samuel from chat support was extremely unhelpful.

Bull. How about you get back to your customers. This is absolutely ridiculous

Text now. This app sucks because whenever I log in it says your account has been disabled😡😡😡

WARNING. There is a special place for you Scammers

Do not get app waste of time and money. This app is terrible do not get it half the time it won’t let u make calls and then it’ll block it all togther it’s definitely not worth paying for either they have over charged me twice now without sending my a message or an email

Banned me from even making an account. Banned me from even making an account and I have sent multiple requests to appeal it yet no response. DO NOT USE THIS APP. They are shady.

Payment for removing of ad. I love this app I’ve been using it for 2 years but every time I pay for the app to get rid of the ads and lock in my number it always gives me problems and charges me 10 bucks and then tells me to cancel my subscription and try again. So it charges me every single time…so you’re talking money every time there’s an issue . I’ve tried deleting the app, restarting my phone and nothing works. So you’re scamming people for money every time they pay and the app runs into a problem we have to pay for your errors

$467.48 Annual fee. $8.99 a week they want you to pay to keep your number otherwise you will get this message - “Unfortunately we've had to reassign your phone number. In the future you can avoid losing your number by sending a text message from your account every few days. This way we'll know you are still using it!”

Garbage security. One of the worst texting apps i have ever dealt with because they say that you should receive the verification code within 7 business days after you created the account but no code has ever been sent and they need to shut down for good

New update. Why is the new update telling me to upgrade my account to get verification codes? It wasn’t like this before why change now

0/5. 𝕀𝕥 𝕕𝕠𝕤𝕟'𝕥 𝕝𝕖𝕥 𝕞𝕖 𝕛𝕠𝕚𝕟

Don’t update your app. This app used to be good. Now you have to pay to use most of the features. I would be willing to pay a one time purchase price but not an expensive monthly fee. Might as well go get second line legitimately then.

⚠️ They Track You. They track you across apps and the web. Do you really trust a company that does that? See the App Privacy section of their App Store page for details.

No good. Yeah so back then u can get verification codes for free but not anymore you have to pay 9 dollars for a verification code yeah so don’t use this app anymore

App has gone downhill big time. This app used to be SO much better. First, years ago it was literally something like five dollars a YEAR to lock in your number as I did it a couple times. Now it’s $8.99 a WEEK! That’s more than an actual cell phone plan would be! It also no longer receives verification codes for 2FA unless you pay this fee as well. It used to be a great app but you can get an actual cell phone plan and SIM even on prepaid for way less than this.

8.99 a week?. i loved this app, and used to pay so low for a yearly secured number, which was like 2 digit numbers in dollars, i cant receive verification codes anymore, and i have to pay almost 40$ a month ? there are phone plans with data for that much

Bug in the system. Text now is an amazing application , I’ve been using it for more than 3 years But recently I’ve realized that sometimes calls cut themself during a phone call I would like to ask their team to take a look at that bug in their system

Hacked. Why does my camera light goes on when i’m using the app? Is someone watching me? I was even using the camera on that app too

Ads. Way too many ads. Might leave

Yeah! No. Fell off my chair when I saw what they wanted per week for ad free, with taxes Id be paying over $50 per MONTH, right now i pay the competition less than $10 for the YEAR. Bye bye. DELETED

No longer works. The app no longer gives you a number.

Doesn’t work properly. I used to like this. Sure it had some lag issues, but I’ve never seen a VOIP that did not. I now use it as a backup line due to its unreliability. However, it’s useless if you want basic things like access to your google drive, as you need a paid subscription for verification texts of which pretty much everything requires these days. Most importantly, it doesn’t work with moderately older Mac products (will work on Androids of the same age), but it won’t tell you that; it misleads you by insisting you have the wrong log in. Most apps let you use an older version, but not this one. It also does not work online, so you can’t even work around their software issues.

Unknown calls. Hi, I’ve been using text now for a while and the app has never done this to me before but, I’ve been getting random phone calls from unknown callers, so don’t use this app unless you want random phone calls from random callers! 😡🤬 I am very angry!!

Bug. Texto bug continually my contact don’t received my texto 😬 and I pay 8.99$/week for that

Way to expensive. 8.99$ a week (36$ a month) is wayyy to expensive, you can get 4 Gig data and everything textnow plus has

Bug/glitch issue this weekend?. Usually I have no issues with TextNow and love it, but this weekend my calls and texts will not go through coming or going, I’ve tried everything I could think of on my end. I have the latest update, deleted and re-installed, different internet connections, etc. Anyone else having this issue? So stressful!

$9 a week. ? For a ad removable I didn’t know the rich are loosing their mind too 😄

Puzzling price change. I’ve enjoyed this app for years as I work all over the world most months of the year and it’s just a remarkably simple way to have a reliable method of voice dialing when needed especially in a foreign country. It’s not the best in terms of signal or sound quality if the wifi isn’t perfect but hey, what do you expect for free, am I right? I’ve been happy to pay the annual fee of $9 per year to lock in my number, but now after my most recent year has expired I see the price is now $9/WEEK!!! That’s an extraordinary rate hike. Surely there is another way to monetize this app, there’s no way I’m ever going to pay that especially since I use the app enough to not let my number lapse. I’m happy to pay something for this very useful app. But I’m sorry I just can’t go along with a 5100% price increase! Yikes!

I love TextNow.com. Hi, I have been using TextNow for many years. It is 100% reliable for my needs. I would say it’s a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. Marc LeBlanc

Unreliable. Using text now to contact family and friends while I’m abroad. This app has logged me out twice with no explanation, and can’t get back in. I’m now using TextMe, which has not given me this problem.

Whutz Ittooya. The updates made the app worse, for what ever reasons. I have an apple phone and I enjoyed the app and what it has to offer. Now that the app has a new look and some nice features. However, the app freezes now more than ever drop calls, and more advertisement. I’m not sure but let’s get it together. Every since the update. The app freezes, closes out and failed calls are more frequent than ever. When I first got the app, I felt this app was the best...better than the others that offer free and WiFi texting. The look changed, “SWEET”......but all the features the app holds such as texting....I can text more than four words then the app freezes.....can’t make a phone call, call failed before the call even got connected and went out

TextNow. I downloaded this app to receive free unlimited texts and calls and when I called my cousin on my cellphone the phone hung up on her and when I called again she said she can barely hear me on my cellphone she ask me why the music was loud in my back ground, my back ground was quite so I told her hang up and I will call her on another phone , I tried to deal with this app I recently used this app once before and the problems I was having was couldn’t text , I was receiving someone else’s texts , so I was afraid to used the phone afraid that someone else would be on the other side of the phone , I wouldn’t know , so I deleted this app , I decided to give it another try and it still acting crazy , Now I understand when apps are FREE things don’t work out like they suppose to , So I’m writing to let you know about your TEXTNOW APP , it’s not working properly and your company needs to work on it and fix it , if you want people to used your service.......

Works with some inconveniences. I’ve used this app for many years now & loved the convenience of it. Until recently (a month now) I have not been able to receive email notifications of incoming text messages I tried different emails to see if that was a problem and still nothing. I reached out to tech support and still no solution. I have two accounts (#’s) and neither one of them receive email notifications for incoming text messages. This feature is super important for me since I can’t be logged in at the same time to both accounts. I also purchased the SIM card and I am not able to use it unless it’s connected to WiFi. I chatted with tech support and kept getting transferred to someone who could help me and still no solution.

Fix the group chats!!. This is a great app, but I have a few problems with the group chats. First of all, I wish it would show the names of the people who wrote something instead of just the numbers. Also, it’ll just start a new random group chat. For example, I made a group chat and when my mom wrote something it made a new group chat but it just showed up as one on her phone. Can you please fix that? Other than that, it works great and o love the idea Edit: the group chats are starting to stress me out. The names are now there (thank you) but whenever someone sends a text, a new groupchat gets made on my end. I also get a lot of texts later and out of order and it’s starting to get annoying to have to ask for screenshots of the chat. I’ve used this app for over a year because of the free phone number, but please! Updates!

“I can’t hear you, you’re breaking up “. When I use this app there is either always a long delay or we cannot hear each other. Before I went premium the app seemed to work ok for the first few days. After I went premium it became horrible. The best I can hope for is maybe 2 to 3 minutes before everything begins to crash. It is extremely frustrating when you pay for something and it fails to work right. I have not had a single call since I went premium that performed properly. There is alway a delay, I can’t hear you, you can’t hear me, or perhaps we can’t hear each other. Any fix or reply would be nice. Why there is an overall 5 star rating I don’t know. But I would like to receive that 5 star service but I am getting zero star service.

Wi-Fi only. SIM card is pointless. It works as it should over WiFi. But you can use a SIM card for access away from WiFi. It claims to pull from T-Mobile towers which it seems to but will take a minute or more to connect a call, even with full signal 4G LTE being reported. Callers will get your voicemail before your phone even rings. Works great on wifi but in no way worth paying for a SIM card let along the additional features. Text messages seem to come through with the SIM card pretty quick so if mainly texting away from wifi could work. For the SIM card to test it out and would have bought premium features if it worked but this would be a very hard NO on that. It’s free for now so I will just keep getting the free service unless things improve, making it worth paying for a service.

Too many issues..... Text know has way too many issues I get call drops all the time disconnect wile on the phone, delay phone calls all the time while talking on the phone it goes on like mute all of a sudden to where you just don’t hear anything. And I can never answer my phone half the time it will not ring until someone leaves me a voicemail and then it disconnects. And if it does ring and I answer it no one‘s there the call like completely drops if I’m lucky that I can answer it and it goes blank a lot of the times to were it’s just a blank white screen and getting messages or phone calls like a day later. The ad can be a nuisance sometimes where you are texting and then all of a sudden your full screen turns into an ad and then you have to stop what you’re doing and then find the exit button when it appears and get back out and finish texting. I think that sums it up for the main issues that I’ve had with it 🤦‍♀️

Ok, some things annoy me. I’ve been using this for work for a few years now, but thinking of switching to another service. A couple things about textnow are not so streamlined and really bug me: 1) can’t have the app on your phone unless you want to receive calls..I like to use the app to text and make calls, but don’t want to receive them. The only way I can shut this off is to either erase the app or forward calls to a different phone. 2) no separate list for incoming/outgoing calls. It’s just all integrated into iPhones call system 3) no way to search for specific texts within the app. And they don’t group new texts into a separate section, so you have to dig through tons of texts sometimes. I don’t want to have them forwarded to iPhone messenger. 4) glitchy…for example, sometimes when trying to text someone a website or email, text doesn’t go through. But, of course, this is a free service, so can’t really complain about features I wish to change. I wish they gave an option for these things tho, maybe a business feature. I’d pay for it to have a cheap alternative to having a mobile work line.

it’s not working :/. since my dad is very strict i have to use free texting apps cause i need to buy my own service. and i’ve been using this app for a while now and i’ve grown to love it. i never had problems with it till now. for some reason, it said that i had no wifi connection but i do, to check i even googled something. my wifi is working but the app isn’t. so i deleted the app to refresh it and i was meant to log back in but it’s not letting me log back in. so, since i thought i put the wrong information i’m trying to make a new account but it says i can’t create a new account because i don’t have wifi BUT I DO! i checked MULTIPLE times. i’m just really frustrated and it would be helpful if i can reset my original account to change the password. but ITS NOT WORKING EITHER! please, fix this.

Funny I don’t remember downloading this app ever. These apps are scam and they should be really really closely monitored by Apple I didn’t download this App from Apple iTunes store!But for some reason it says I did or shows that I did in the previous Past, some somewhere along the line I did and must’ve deleted it or removed it from my home screen or something because now it’s like showing you know the bubble with the arrow saying download again right no wrong never downloaded this app please make it so that I never downloaded this app I’d like it to look like that because there are a lot of these that I’ve been seeing that I’ve never download it before never even seen or heard of before yet it shows thatThat’s quite the opposite or it seems to be when it in fact is not and if it is then it’s not me doing it and that means that Apple needs to look at their stuff a lot better please this is a scam all these are scams get a phone number the right way

Don’t like new ad changes and recent call change. I’ve used this app for 4 years now and seen it go from great to getting worse by the day… now there are ads everywhere between messages, pushing up my last message, you name it… but the worse is now when you are in a call with either slow or not very strong wifi it keeps saying “please wait, trying to reconnect your call, please wait” bla bla bla why did you add this cause now the other person can’t hear you or me hear them cause this messages sometimes repeats itself like 5 times that’s almost a minute without being able to communicate with other person and they have no idea what’s going on… this is a very noticeable change, non of this under the hood changes… please remove this back to what it was this will make me walk away from this app I had to use other app to get back on call without this message having to come up constantly…

Read The Terms! Stores, Shares, Sells Your Data!. Every single text, image, video, or any other attachment is scanned by TextNow. Now idk if it's AI or an actual person monitoring your device, but regardless, it's extremely sketchy business and completely invades the users privacy. Many other communications and public forum platform apps do the same. I'd highly recommend reading the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policies on the apps you allow on your phone! Every secret you text, every nude photo you've sent, sites you visit, and anything in between, is NOT protected or private by any means and will likely be used against you when the Social Credit System(China already implemented) rolls out in the USA. Apps like Facebook have already started the process, prescribing what political views it's users are allowed to share and talk about. The purpose of such a system is to control our behavior and penalize those stepping out of line, plain and simple. Worried? You should be...

Not usable on older iPhones despite claiming to be. I tried out the TextNow app on my iPhone 11 to familiarize myself with how it works, as I wanted to use their SIM card option to allow my child to call and text from my old iPhone 6. He currently uses it for iMessage and FaceTime only when on wifi. I thought this would be a good option to allow him to be reachable outside of wifi. I used to compatibility checker in the app to enter the imei of the iPhone 6, and it told me it was compatible. It wasn’t until I tried to download the app on my son’s phone, that it told me the iPhone software was too old. iPhone 6 does not have the ability to update beyond iOS 12.5. Pretty disappointed, as this would have been a perfect affordable solution to him being reachable without having a data plan.

Loading problems. Helpful, but takes a really long time to load and is not helpful with tapping into the adds. Why does it take such a long time to load? I have full bars and it still takes over 2 minutes to load onto the first screen. Then it takes 1-5 minutes to load the messages. Sometimes I just want to delete the app and try a different one for this reason. It does crash A LOT. It switches the keyboard to an add so you can't continue typing. It takes a long time to send messages and if it doesn't sent because of no coverage then when you try to resend it it sends it like 15 times. The calling is really bad. Bad connection. Really glitchy. Crashes mid call. Please update notifications on lock screen when calling. I only get "misses call from _____" after someone calls me. I call them back and then it loads and says " ____ is trying to reach you"

Too Much Ads. The app itself is great but now I have realized it has too many Ads. In comes in the way of my work. I use this app to communicate with my patients and aides and they can use the third-party number to contact me. It’s perfect because when I’m off the clock or on lunch break I can just log out so there’s no disturbance. But these Ads are disturbing my work. Some Ads make me wait 26secs I don’t have time to do because I have to do my job immediately. And I have to close the app and open it back again. Before there was not as much Ads as there is recently. It’s interfering & I’m not too happy about that. But overall the app itself is great via call and text. All I ask is that there’s less Ads/pop ups and remain the way it was with the Ads. Thank you.

It’s great, but…. I’ve been a TextNow subscriber for about 2 years now. Best thing is, it’s free. Not 100% free, though. Yeah, you may be able to text any number in your country completely free, but the ads make it hard to do that. If you need verification codes, you’re out of luck! They have a paid subscription to get verification codes. They have a SEPARATE paid subscription to get rid of the ads, instead of having them in the same subscription. When I started using TextNow, it didn’t have so many ads and you used to be able to get verification codes without paying. You can’t even keep your number if you don’t text or call anyone within a few days. Overall though, I think it’s a good app for if you want to cut down on your budget. They also give free service with their SIM kit, so i’ll give them that.

This App Should Be Removed, App Almost Ruined My Relationship.... I’m so very late on writing this review but I don’t recommend getting this app If your gonna mess or prank someone because I got this random text from this person that I didn’t know and had told me that she knows my boyfriend and say that he was cheating on me and have been dating him and even knew his nickname and that had me very concerned because only his “friends” or “best friends” know his nickname and had thought one of his friends were pranking him. I told my boyfriend and even showed him the messages and he was trying his best to find this person that was messaging me lies and when this person tried to show me “ evidence” of pictures of her and my boyfriend there was nothing there so this person had to lie. So on this day (2020) I still have the messages saved on my phone just in case something like this happened again and I had also changed my number, DO NOT GET THIS APP!

Wish Apple at least take control of this and stop allowing this kind of apps here. All this apps should be controlled or make the price higher for every single number and every time that people change the number or simple not allowed and delete all of them from the App Store and from google play they just bringing problems and making people change the phone number because this is the new game for those that doesn’t have anything to do and start bothering the others and trying to get info to rob you and they never stop playing on and on and on just because is very simple to change the phone number when you block them !!! They just make a new account fake names new emails just to rob people info and bother everybody those apps should be Disappear am sorry for the developers but this is the reality today this just bringing people the opportunity to bother the innocent people that never before think about to do anything similar to it

Piece of CRAP app!!!. I’d give it negative stars if I could. Even if you’re lucky enough to see your phone actually ring when someone tries to call your text now number, you’ll have to pray and cross your fingers that the app doesn't drop your call, if you can even hear each other during the call. What this app is really good at, is creating the most constant frustrated anxiety within the user. Whilst 10 times a day, while watching your phone for an expected call, you suddenly see the “missed call” or “new voicemail” indicator after your phone never rang once to even give you the chance of speaking to the person you were expecting a call from. And if you’re thinking, “Oh this doesn’t apply to me because I have a strong WiFi connection/the best internet/newest phone/etc” then you’d be sorely mistaken. Because nothing you have or can do will make a difference. This app is a P.O.S. all the way around, despite what you have. It’s “free” for a reason. So expect frustration and anxiety, and good luck.

Almost perfect. I've been using TextNow for around 9 years now and I'm in love with it. Free wifi based talk and text is a lifesaver: BUT, I recently moved to an area with better wifi than my previous residence, and I purchased the sim so I'm not dead in the water on my delivery route. I've been experiencing a problem with connectivity on both network and WiFi calls where about 30 seconds into any call, I hear the "Please wait your call is being connected" repeated 6 or 7 times before it'll reconnect the call for about 10 more seconds and repeat. Not sure if this is a bug or just something that others are experiencing, but it's been difficult to schedule doctors appointments, call my family and get ahold of my boss at work.

Too many phone numbers!. What’s with having to get a new phone number all the time??? I had to change it again yesterday and that makes FIVE TIMES in less than FOUR MONTHS!! What gives?? Tell me!! I am so aggravated with having to call multiple doctors and other important people that are here for my health care that need to get in touch with me on a daily basis and it frustrates them as well when they can’t get ahold of me, thinking there may be something wrong, that they have to send someone out to check on me to make sure that l am still alive. I go to make a phone call and my scree is covered with your logo on it and there’s no way to get it off without going through the process. I’m more than upset 😠! I had even just RECENTLY paid $4.99 to be able to keep my last “new” phone number for a year and l haven’t even had it for a MONTH!! You people need to get your act together or else next time, the review isn’t going to be as”kind” as this.

Disabled account. Hi! I’m writing this review to complain about what I have been experiencing with my Textnow account lately. I have been using Textnow for long now and it has a been a very helpful application that has been helping a lot but not until recently when I tried to login to my account got a message that my account has been disabled without any prior warning or notification. And since then I have been trying to login again but it kept showing that I should appeal before I can get my account back. I wanna know if this fault is from the developer or maybe I should proceed with the appeal. Please treat as important and acknowledge///. I’ll be hoping to hear from you soon. Thanks so much for being there always.💜

Frustrated!!. The only issues I have is when I’m making a call the screen keeps blinking out and won’t stay on long enough to press any buttons. Every time I try to use the dial pad, speaker, or even try hanging up. Only time all functions work is for txt messages. The phone function is so frustrating when you have prompts to go through in your phone call. I have a iPhone 11 Pro Max and I have to force the app to hang up by going to turn off the phone THE BUTTONS DO NOT WORK!!!!! I feel like they are just there for show. But hey it’s a free app that is only good for txting Will be deleting the app if this is not fixed with the next update.

No Sound for incoming calls??. The app itself is laid out very well and very simple to use. I don’t see any settings for sounds for incoming calls at all. So when someone calls you you don’t even hear the phone you only get a tiny notification beep when you call first comes through and then after the person hangs up you hear a little tone but no ringing in between which is annoying. So naturally 9 times out of 10 you miss a call. Is there a way to fix this? I’ve tried to go through the sounds and the iPhone settings and notifications and there is no option within the app either on the sounds for their notifications for messages. Help? I’ll rare this at 3 stars because I like it but it would be higher had it have the option for someone to hear a telephone call come through..

Can’t access account. I have used this app for many years recently and over the holidays I am now unable to access my account. When I call my number from a landline it do not ring and this is on the heels of purchasing to lock the number in for year. Up until recently the app I will give it five stars every day all day but due to the circumstances to which I am unable to use the line and missing calls, missing text messages, and the phone number not working, this have put me into a serious situation due to the fact I have had the number for years and have an a lot of calls and text through it.

It’s disappointing having my account deleted for no reason.. Tried to log back in after not using for a while. It said “Recover your account. This account has violated our Terms of Use. You must verify your email to regain access to your account.”. I did that. I went back to log in and then it said “Error. This account has violated our terms of use, and the account and number are no longer available.” Why give me the option to fix it and then still delete the whole account? I’ve used this app since I was a kid. Very disappointed to be deleted for no reason. At least tell me what I did so I can know that I didn’t do anything wrong. Because I didn’t. Unless not using my account for a few months is a violation. I’ve went way longer without using it though and still had an account. Just strange and disappointing. Taking my business elsewhere.

5*s? I don’t get it.. There are better options out there than this. I don’t understand the 5 star reviews. My frustration with this app is that it doesn’t hold group texts together. Every time one of my group members text us, I receive it as a new text, separates him from the group. So when I reply back, it only goes to him. It happens every single time. When I asked a friend who introduced this app to me about this problem, he said, “Oh yeah, it does that.” What? He’s been using it a long time, so he just got used to it. But he’s been creating problem for our group. This is probably the worst malfunctioning app for group texts. I used 4 different text services, and I find this one to be the most frustrating one. He’s never bothered to explore, so he just seemed to have accepted that this is what he gets for using a free app. So I told him to try Google Voice or Pinger. So much better than this.

Stopped working. I would have given five stars a couple weeks ago… However, Ive been using the same text now for about a year and it’s worked great. All of a sudden, I can’t send or receive texts, but phone calls will come in. But that’s useless to me because I use it for texting. So I troubleshoot the problem, I delete the app, turn my phone off. Waited a couple minutes… Phone back on, download the app and now I can’t get past the first screen that pops up when I sign in. It’s trying to tell me about notifications so I can allow them and there’s a continue button at the bottom and I keep hitting it and nothing happens it just freezes. Why all of a sudden would it stop working… I have an iPhone 11 so. What? Did I hit some thing and turn some thing off and that’s why I quit working or did the app just go kaput?

NOT TO BE TRUSTED. This used to be a best option when it comes to having a second number. But recently you keep losing your number and that’s it. You don’t get it back again and that’s very very bad because I even paid in order to lock my number. It start by you not receiving texts when people say they keep texting you. Lastly you’re just logged out of your account and when you try logging in again it doesn’t seem to work and keeps saying error. It doesn’t even work when you try to forget password or even get a new number and I think this is very very dumb of late. How about you refund my money back.😡😡😡😡👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

Privacy and data ownership at its worst?. After reading the terms of service and data collected, it seems like they will use your personal data and content without mercy. Selling your data to 3rd party websites and such may be part of there game. Just like many of these other big social media apps. It might be suitable for some application and a well functioning app but there are much better apps that do this without giving up your rights to personal data. Also states that they can change terms of service anytime and will be applicable to your account after 30 days. Again seems like they want to just have full control of peoples personal data for their personal profits. This is not to bash them but to inform anybody who might need to see this information prior to downloading. Check their terms of service before signing up to see for yourselves. Peace

Good service, no local numbers. That’s TextNow in a nutshell. You get free calling and texting, and it’s hard to beat the price of free. Then again if you do want to beat the price of free, you can subscribe to AdFree+ and get more features while ditching the ads. Customer service has been okay in the three weeks I’ve had the service. Only one con I can find, and it isn’t the audio quality. Yes I wish call audio was better but considering TextNow built the service so it works even on throttle cellular data connections, I made my peace with the audio quality. The big problem with TextNow is that you’ll have a hard time finding a local number. Getting a number from Nevada when you live in Washington doesn’t sound that bad, unless you’re job hunting and companies hesitate to call you to avoid long distance charges on their landline office phones.

Great Idea with Poor Functionality. I’ve been using this app for about 1 year and have stuck with it hoping it would improve. It has not. So what’s the issues? The delay in receiving and sending text is ridiculously long. Forget about using your number to receive verification text codes that expire in 10 minutes because you’ll never get them until 12 to 15 minutes later. This also includes friends sending text. This is a daily occurrence. With regard to phone calls it’s 50/50. Half of the time I’ll just receive a missed call message and it never rang. The person may have called several minutes ago before I even know they called. I bought the data plan in addition to having high speed Wi-Fi thinking it might resolve the delays but it did not. This app has tons of potential but they are failing to implement it.

I would recommend this. I have been needing to call my friends for a while. There for I needed a phone number. I didn’t have a source to get that from so I was looking for apps for it. Text now came so I gave it a try. I have been using the FREE phone number to call my friends. You can use this for messages and even face time! You can also set it up so when you text a new person they can see who you are to tell you if you have the wrong number. The thing you can get is a signature which isn’t in the pictures or description. There are many more things I could list here about this. So again, I really recommend this and you should get it! Please respond 🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂

I love this app BUT. Recently, can’t see the text people send me once I click into the app. There text and mines, even as I send them isn’t showing. All I see are the old calls. And it’s not like you can read the whole text in your notification bar to know fully what they say so you click into the app to read it and it’s gone so you don’t really know what you’re saying. I logged in and logged out. I deleted the app and put it back and still the same results. Can we please have this fixed it would be much appreciated. Thank you so much for your time. Also, like the missed calls in this text when you’re not logged into, that would be dope if we could actually see those all of them.

I like the app. I LOVE text now because I’m on iPad so it makes it easier to call people who don’t have iPhone since a can’t FaceTime them especially people in other countries I would have given it a 5 star but the new update they removed the voice message thing where u can send voice messages that was my favorite part of the app I don’t have a problem with the adds but if they could make this app able to use without internet then I’m keeping this app forever but yea that’s the only problem please if y’all could bring back the voice’s message it’s where u record what u want to say I also would recommend this app 10/10 😁❤️❤️❤️❤️ because I’m able to call my dad and other family members ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Stellar service. Overall the quality over WiFi is amazing! I was pleasantly surprised by how clear and easy to hear the calls were. The service was easy to set up, understand, and use! I am not the most tech Dav savvy person and I was able to set up and use the text now without help from my teenagers! That says a lot about the Intuitive nature of the app. The only thing I would update would be changing a phone number on a person. I had used the service daily and they still changed my number saying I hadn’t used it in a month! I loved that because I seed my phone with the address book in it the app automatically transferred my phone numbers into the text now apps phone app so could use the numbers immediately!

Recommend above all others. There’s no such thing as a perfect app. In fact, there’s no such thing as a perfect anything. This app comes pretty close though. Easy to use, and definitely the best app for a second phone number. Unlike all others, you have the choice to purchase a tremendously inexpensive TextNow SIM card, with which you can text and call from anywhere there’s service without wifi. Much like a normal SIM card. The only difference is that it’s free, (The sim costs 99¢ but other than that, completely free) and there are ads. I think the only thing it doesn’t have is dark mode. As a dark mode lover, I would like to see this added in the future🙂

They Read your Text Messages. I woke up to my account being permanently deleted. The chat support said it is irreversible and I cannot look at my messages or call logs. I asked why several times and the only answer the chat support would give me was a link to their article of terms of use. They read your messages and listen to your phone calls. If they think you’re violating their terms of use they will delete your account with no warning. I didn’t even know it was deleted until I contacted chat support. They couldn’t even send me an email. For two days I just thought it was login issues. The only way to contact them is through live chat, and they just copy paste the “help” articles into the chat. Absolutely trash app and sorry excuse for a company that says it wants to help people communicate. They just want to read your data and use it for their monetary gain.

Already paid for the internet? Why pay for phone service too?. This app costs nothing too set up. Seriously. No credit card signups or monthly memberships. I remember when this app first came out! The calls are clear now. Every now and then a call is dropped or fails. That happens with just about every major provider right? Only difference is this one doesn’t cost a dime. Ha! It is a blessing for sure. Didn’t make sense to me.....pay for internet service AND phone service? Nah! I mean whAts the difference? It’s all just invisible stuff floating through the air right? Just cuz you can’t see something doesn’t mean it’s not there....this app helps clean up some of that invisible clutter lol. Thank you. Stay blessed. 😇

Y'all really need to fix the iPad app version as well as some Apple Watch issues. The iPhone version is fine. The IPad one has trouble sending texts from the notifications. Sometimes ill type a message on my iPad only to find out that it never sent and my message is gone. That is annoying. Also i have my iPad in landscape basically all the time and when i open the app, its all messed up. I need to turn my iPad to portrait mode and back to landscape mode for the app to correct its self. This is annoying. ALSO i cant reply very well to messages on my Apple Watch. Sometimes ill compose a message and click send and forget about it. Only to find out that my message was never sent. Please fix this. I like this app on my iPhone but its not the greatest experience on the iPad or Apple Watch. I use an IPad 4 on iOS 10.3.3 if you must know. Thanks Devs!!

Stop playing ads during calls!. I have been using TextNow for years. I absolutely loved it up until add started being played during phone calls. This wouldn’t be an issue except when they play, you can’t hear the person you are talking to on the phone! So as soon as it starts playing, it’s like your conversation is put on pause for a good 20 to 30 seconds. It’s really inconvenient because the other person has no idea what’s going on and many times will hang up. I understand that it’s necessary to have ads because it’s a free app and you need to make money somehow, but why wouldn’t you put the ads at the end of the call. It makes much more sense for the add to start playing as soon as the person hangs up the conversation. This is why I rarely use TextNow anymore. I prefer to use Google voice now because it’s free with NO ads.

Awesomeness. Text now is honestly a gift from above because they provide a free telephone service for free! Yes! It’s absolutely true! It doesn’t have any catches or gimmicks, they are honest people and I am forever grateful for what they do and have been doing. This proves wrong to the phrase “if it sounds too good to be true it probably isn’t true “ because this app text now sounds too good to be true and they actually are too good and they are true. Don’t get services from anybody for free nowadays especially now, yesterday or tomorrow, things are just getting more and more expensive but text now is providing free service for us. God bless you all at text now for all that you do, have done and continue to do every day.

Quite good. I’ve just had it for a couple weeks and have not used it that much, but have had no issues making calls, receiving calls, sending/receiving texts, or voicemail. I like the purple color of the texts. Ads are a bit intrusive. I’ve got other VoIP numbers but it’s a great idea to have multiple services for backup, different uses, or for troubleshooting if one of them doesn’t work. The iPhone purchase prices section in the App Store is unfortunately totally unclear. Multiple duplicates but with different prices, descriptions cut off, and no mention of how long each subscription lasts, if they are actually subscriptions. I would be willing to pay something to get rid of ads but can’t consider it for now since I don’t know what any of the options are. I can’t use it as my primary number for now because it’s missing a couple key features - it’s own contacts and end to end encryption, even if only for other TextNow users. I have a huge number of contacts that I’m not in touch with anymore and am not giving my TextNow number to, so I don’t want to import my phone contacts. Would also be nice to have a $1/month plan just to prevent your number from being reassigned without activity, but keeping ads.

5 years and still going strong!. When I needed to cut down on my expenses I chose to use an app that gave me what I needed from my phone minus the monthly cost. I downloaded the TextNow app and have been using it ever since. I have had the same number for the entire time and have transferred it to several different phones since 2013. I’m typing this on my Apple X. If you don’t mind receiving calls and text messages only when you’re in WiFi you’re good to go. It works very well with Optimum cable because of all the WiFi Hot Spots. You can make and receive calls and texts on the go. If I ever want to get a phone plan, TextNow also has the lowest plans that I know. I highly recommend this app.

Serious Glitches. App has always had issues and is known for its insecurities as well as nefarious uses. Unfortunately, I’ve had to use it lightly and especially after the latest update things just do not work. The app constantly crashes and I have to uninstall and reinstall and even re-sign up for my account as it doesn’t appear that it’s saving any of the information regardless of how much I use the account and it’s actually upsetting a friend of mine because with every time I’ve had to resign up, I’ve had to get a new number also. It should be noted that I actually know someone who got called by some ladies girlfriend because text now somehow assigned this guy’s girlfriend the same number that was registered to this person I know who was a manager at Metro by T-Mobile‘s Metro phone number. Which is a huge problem as it should not be assigning numbers that are already assigned by other carriers.

4 stars. So I had this one problem but the rest of it is wonderful! So my problem is is that I had more than 3 unknown numbers that kept on texting me about a dating app and sex requests. I did not enjoy getting those texts cause they are straight up annoying. Not only that I would get one of those numbers at least once a week. I hope they have changed that but I am not going on there again until I have seen that this has been changed.( I had the app a year ago and deleted it last year and haven’t gotten it since). All of that aside what’s fun is that when I had it you got to change your message color and you got to pick a background for each chat you have so if you were texting your parents you could have your parents photo in the background.

Really like it, but for one thing. I’ve tried many text/calling apps and have found TextNow to be the best interface around. I use it as a work line for texting, so that people don’t have my personal number. I also put the number in my work phone “simulring,” so although I’m taking the calls through a landline, I have a log of the incoming calls ringing in on my TextNow app (I mute the ringtone, so it’s not distracting). My only plea (that gives it 4 stars instead of 5) is that at the end of the day, I have to manually delete each and every call/text individually. There is no “select all” function that lets me mark and delete them in mass. This should be a no-brainer and an easy fix for the developers. Please make this feature available and I’m yours forever. ☺️

This App Has Significantly Improved!👌🏽I love it!❤️. A few years ago when I first got the app, the service was inconsistent, BUT NOW… it’s been completely stable and reliable. You just need to check for those important updates or have them auto installed, for the app to continue working efficiently. Sound quality, connection, text/verification texts/pictures/video transitions are smooth and seamless. I’m glad I kept it, because it keeps me from all the weird spam I used to get on my main phone line. I love having a second line and the people I know who don’t have one put their main number everywhere get constant spam calls and text, but for some reason I rarely get any on my text now number!

5 stars. Hey there if you haven’t already discovered text now it’s time you did. It’s easy to use you get to pick the number you want and you can earn points to use towards international calls. Yeah it’s even got great stickers for just another anything you text about great emojis and you can even use your favorite gifs to. Use your contacts and block those annoying telemarking calls. There are adds but they are worth it with the great service that you get for free text and talk. Don’t forget you can always add on for actual service with text and talk for low low price if it’s just 1 month 3 months or even a year it’s easy to join easy to use and get help when ever you need to I recommend text and TextNow all the time right now. It definitely deserves 5 stars. Thanks TextNow!!

Great app, but needs a fix!. I’ve been using this app for a little over a year, and it’s really fantastic. It’s just as it says: free calling, free texting, no hidden fees. It’s awesome. All you need is an internet connection and you are good to go! I highly recommend this app for anyone trying to stay on the cheeper side of things. However, I am unable to send messages at the moment. I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried logging in and out of the account, which only fixes the problem for a minute, but then I can’t text again. Hence, the 4 star review. It’s really a fantastic app, and I’d love to give it 5 stars, but without the ability to text, its a bit less useful. Developers, I hope you can see this! I’d love to continue using the app!
