No Complaints
July 26, 2024

This is a very depressing time in my personal life. I do not have phone or internet service unless I'm connected to wifi. It honestly sucks but textnow has made it so much easier to deal. I'm able to connect with jobs, family and other businesses I need at this time. I appreciate the app. Thanks you guys.

My experience has been great except that it needs Wi-Fi to function. So when I'm outside the app doesn't work at all.

Overall, the texting and calls are good. I've had a lot of dropped calls or calls i cannot answer even though i had strong wifi. That's my biggest frustration. I also did not know you can't send links in text which would have prompted me to use another service but now I've given this number out for my business so it's too late.

This sucked
July 24, 2024

The "automated system " turned off my ability to send amd receive text messages ON AN APP CALLED TEXTNOW! AND it took 2 days for a customer service agent to be able to tell me that! And then they "couldn't " change it back. They cant change what the system does when they literally control the system. So it was a $#*!ing hassle and im not using text now as my main line anymore

Verification codes
July 23, 2024

The ONLY thing I have against textnow is that you want me to PAY for a service that is now free in order to recieve verification codes! WHY?!
