I've been using them for years and that's not going to change. If you want a phone # at a fair price this is the company for you.

Great text tool without use of phone
June 16, 2024

Text family and friends... even before I had good phone with text capabilities.
Free phone number.
Works thru WI-FI and on the road.
Sometimes it does need to RE-START which is why I gave it a '4' instead of a '5'

Saved me from losing work!
August 5, 2024

Needed to get ahold of a job I had been prepped for and was able to get ahold of the boss when my phone was stolen, I just logged in on my computer and had access to my contacts and don't have to worry as much about having no way to communicate or network or just keeping in touch with family/friends.

TextNow has all the features you need to communicate worldwide! It's fast and affordable. All the app's features are logically arranged and easy to follow. I'm often in contact with people and relatives in Europe, the US and Canada - come to think of it, I've never had a problem reaching anyone
I can only recommend TextNow. It's a great platform, and - if you don't need all the features - a very affordable alternative!
