So far my text now experience has been awesome. No problem whatsoever. Have made and received call..
It's very useful works great on calling texting using the number somewhere else. I really love TextNow.
Love how it's free and how easy it is to use. It's amazing to have free thing
Being on a fixed income I enjoy FREE talk and text. Even though I don't talk often, I can depend on it when I need it
I have been using text now for a while and have given out that number but for some reason they decided to permanently block my account for "violation". Problem is, that I appealed and nothing is happening. No response and no clarification as to what the violation is.
I have been waiting over a month for a response that they claim should have come within 1 week.
Very much annoyed at their service.

Great app to have it saves time and money.keep up the good work,!
I love this phone service I live 4 miles off a main road and never had a any trouble with it...thank you text now!
Easy and fun to use with min done or too many options that are confusing.
The app is great for getting a second phone number, I love that you can choose from various numbers and even select your preferred area code, which is super convenient. However, the design feels a bit outdated & clunky, making navigation less enjoyable. Additionally, there are too many ads if you're not subscribed, which can get annoying.
One major downside is that if you don't use the app for a while, they can reclaim your number and assign it to someone else. This could be a privacy risk if you've linked that number to any accounts or shared it for personal use. Overall, it's a good app with solid features, but there's room for improvement in the user experience and ad policies.
I love text now and I've been using it over 5 years now. At the beginning I had paid service through a life line provider and only used text now a few times a month. But in the last few years I've only been using text now as phone service and I love that it was only $4.99 for a SIM card and as advertised it worked everywhere. I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars because of the data plan. The advertisement about the unlimited data is a little misleading by calling it "essential data". Other than that I'm still very pleased with text now and my service.
I am using text now to make wifi calls because the clarity of calls is superior to what i have received from mainstream contract service providers.
Also, text now has NEVER dropped a call.
No endless holds for customer service either!
Have used the free app for years, will be upgrading to their cell service soon.
App has worked flawlessly for years
My favorite aspect of this service is being able to access the text messages from my desktop computer. This is a much more user friendly way to access and respond to those messages. The service on my phone functions just like any other mobile service, whether texting or calling I do not notice a difference in quality between TextNow and a typical phone service carrier.
You can't complain because it's free. It's been such a life saver. I have a secure feeling knowing I can use my phone when I have no data as well.
I enjoy using this for my side hustle. I have the free version, so there are adds in there that sometimes I confuse for communications from my customers. But that doesn't really bother me. I have noticed if my conversation lasts more than 20 minutes, the call drops. Not sure if that is part of the free version.
I give my TextNow # to everyone that i don't want to have my main number. My main number is the # I don't ever change and don't want to have to change. I can change my TextNow # whenever i need to. So i just give my text now # to people i don't want to be able to keep calling, plus it keeps me from having a block list a mile long.
I love his app can call and text for free make sure you do at least one call or text each month so u don't lose your number they will warn you a week before and a day before
Answer: No limits I have used this app dozens of times a day and for several hours on some days
Answer: Well well well, u pushed the right button. I don't trust them at all. They tried hardly to get a photo of any of my government IDs, together with a photo of my credit card pretending to verify my identity and they rejected all other means for verification including calling my bank.
