To all the people saying it's awful, well duh, it's free and goes off WiFi. It says poor signal and drops calls on WiFi, even at home. You have to at least make a text once a month or they drop your number. They send a text warning. I wouldn't really recommend this to anyone, but if you absolutely have to make a call it works. My phone is off, beautiful thing about that is people can still call me on my regular number. However, if I miss the call...I text them on the app, call, or just use the house phone
By far the worst phone text app ever constantly dropping calls. People could hardly hear me. Absolutely the worst app i would never recommend this crap app to anyone... i would rate it a zero but Ofcourse they wouldn't let me
Account creation doesnt work, Your password will not work. So you try to reset it, Just to find out that password reset doesn't work either. Finally you contact tech support which is a bot, only to finally find a button for a live person who is dumber than the stinking bot. They can't fix your account unless you can verify the information that you havent even put in there yet. What a pack of morons.
I hate how you guys have it now in order to make new accounts! Then when you are finally in and attempt to get area code, it'll then reject it and say "This number isn't available" or some crap like that. Then it'll say you've exceeded the amount of attempts! DO BETTER TEXT NOW!
I have only been using Textnow for a few weeks, but I can see it's a pretty good site. I have not downloaded the app, but I have an account so I can use Textnow. I am pretty satisfied with Textnow, but there is no Video call Which is pretty disappointing.
I do not have phone service and Textnow is a life saver! Thanks a million!
I would never buy a phone or plan from Textnow.com. This company is a complete fraud on what you pay for and receive. I had numerous problems with this company but the last straw was i downgraded to a $27.99 month plan in August because at that time that's what i could afford. On Sept. 29th i went to upgrade my plan for more data and they offered a $39.99 month plan for unlimited data which is what i needed. So within days i paid to upgrade my plan in a weeks time period i paid nearly $70.00. I had full internet access until a week after i upgraded my internet no longer worked. It took two days to speak to a customer service rep through live chat everytime i tried i would get a rep that would click off our chat or would not respond. I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy from Textnow and once my plan ends on Oct. 31st i will no longer be with this service.
Sometimes I get calls but not often. Unable to use it when I go to town
It works great don't know what I would do without it easy number to remember glad it's available free free free.
This app was the best. It has absolutely no limit to the amount of characters I can type in a text. It let's me describe things in extreme detail where I couldn't with textplus because of the character limit. It also doesn't freeze like Textplus tends to. This app is WAY better than Textplus
Great app but drops calls alot other than that it works great and I love the perks
It has been an excellent option to call every where in order to save money in a difficult financial time.
Thanks.
Worst app Ive ever used. Phone call quality is terrible and doesnt allow texts to be sent or received half of the time. My account was flagged for terms of use violation not once but twice and yet not one agent can tell me what the exact reason was nor can they fix my account. They refuse to escalate my complaint to a supervisor and i was basically told it wasnt worth their time and the convo was a waste of their time. Way to go with the steller customer service. I lost so many valuble contacts for my business that its devastating to my income.
Awesome ty that's really all I can say about the service ty very much...
Several people I know including myself have been scammed thanks to this horrible idea to have this. Easy for theif to pic location and lie to people and steal 500-2,000 from innocent peolple. Especially puppy scams. Thank you text now for aiding thieves! You should be ashamed of yourselves
Overall very positive and a great help during this interlude.
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.
