The most impressive connectivity I had is with Textme. All you need is a phone and internet connectivity. Amazing app without scarring your wallet.

Disappointment
May 28, 2024

Your service is not tailored to sustain free service, its about pushing customer to buy lines with very costly price, higher than real lines.

Hi Devonnile, thanks for your feedback. Purchases offered in our app include features to remove ads and lock in your number. In the free version of the app, these ads do pay for this service available to all users! For our free version, you do risk losing your number if you don't use it regularly. If you're not interested in locking in your number or removing ads, you can use the number at least once every couple days for an outgoing call or text to keep it active.

Very happy
May 26, 2024

I have been using TextNow for a while and couldn't be more satisfied with the service. It offers a free and reliable Internet phone solution that has exceeded my expectations. The call quality is excellent and I have rarely experienced interruptions or connectivity issues.

The app is intuitive and easy to use, making texting and calling very straightforward. Additionally, the option to get a free phone number is a huge advantage, especially for those looking for a cost-effective solution.

Another aspect I love is the flexibility of using TextNow on multiple devices. I can stay connected from my phone, tablet, or computer seamlessly.

In summary, TextNow has been an invaluable tool for me, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a free and efficient communication service. Thank you, TextNow, for providing such a fantastic service!

Impressed at how easy it is to use. It's great to have a secondary number to use to protect myself from scammers or suspicious people.

Hi Alexis, thanks for taking the time to let us this review. As with other phone number systems, it's possible that the number you received was previously used by someone else when you created a TextNow account. I've sent a private message to assist further!

Since using the service I've had two dropped calls other than that my issue is wanting to save and keep the number. However I haven't found or seen a way to purchase the number for a continuous year so as not to allow fraudulent charges from a month to month enrollment.
