It’s cool it ok for free service/terrible now
Dec 29, 2018 By Cutenes84Sooooo I’ve had textnow for a few years, the more they try to fix bugs the worse it gets! The ads,are messing up the ap,ok its free,but don’t make it mess up the ap! I always missed calls now,never had that before! The fact you can’t send video is a lil wack! But again it’s free! You can’t send more than one picture at a time! But again it’s free lol! Just recently I have noticed when you try to send a picture,it automatically picks the last picture you took! I DO NOT LIKE THAT! Because sometimes I don’t know itnsent someone that picture! It freezes a lot more now thn last year! Also textnow,needs to cut down on people making multiple textnow accounts,just to spam people and harass people ,start getting device info,and ips,and only allow one textnow per email,device,and ip,and make them verify an email! That will help a great deal! So for it being free when you are connected to WiFi is good! Ok it’s now dec29,2018 the app is even more horrible ,it’s blocking numbers I didn’t block ,being very slow! And deleting texts I didn’t delete ,please work on where we can block entire area codes,telemarketing calls are becoming insane! I’ve got 100 numbers blocked from the same company more -
Convenient with Wi-Fi
Dec 12, 2021 By CynCynattiSo I work really really hard but like a lot of people- sometimes in between paydays comes that phone bill. Which can be that little extra that’s either going to get you by or give you phone. Of course I choose to use it to get by! Downloading this app- I have Wi-Fi at home and at work. So while I’m here or at home I can call my FS card to check my balance (which can be VERY important when I need milk for my 2 yr old ect;) and I’m unsure of what I’ve got- and avoid embarrassment in the store being declined for misunderstanding my balance. It can be helpful for a lot. I need it for little thank God but where I need it- it comes in clutch like any phone I PAY for to make calls. I don’t use it as my main use but it’s definitely 1000% my go-to in a tight spot. Thank you Creators! (If you use this for texting pics, videos, voicemail; I think you pay for it but it’s like $10 a month…whiiiich is still $50 MINIMUM cheaper than a lot of plans elsewhere- I only use it for sparingly important phone calls in-between paydays so it’s perfect for users like me and that function- really is free.) more -
Ads have become unbearable
Apr 9, 2022 By JetsblazeI’ve had TextNow for over 4 years and counting. I used to love this app because the ads while they were there (as they ought to be since it’s a free service), they were non intrusive and bearable. It was a tiny banner ad in between messages in the inbox . That’s it. However in the past few months it has gotten so bad that I’ve considered simply uninstalling the app and moving on . I’ve always used this service as a secondary number for non personal stuff (I even paid to get my number locked in) , but now it seems it’s not even worth it. To say that the ads are very frequent would be a total understatement.. it literally seems that after every call made , you get blasted with a 20-30 second full screen ad (which you cannot skip or close or do anything with other than wait it out) . Why should I have to deal with that so often ? It never used to be like this and if it had to come to the point in which full screen ads like that had to be implemented , then ok if it was once in a while fine , I would just deal with it. But every other phone call or 30 seconds of going through messages? Nah that’s too much I’m sorry. You guys sold out plain and simple. more -

Nov 23, 2021 By Shell'64I have been a customer for the last two years and this app helped make the most difficult time of my life more bearable. When COVID hit the city I liv4d in in March of 2020 I was unable to pay my $55 phone bill and as a result they turned off my phone . FortunatleyI had#iFi and came across the app . Thanks to the app I was able to notify paramedics and my others hospice nurse when she was in the final stages of COVID and then family and friends when she passed the following day. I’ve tried other apps and was very disappointed. One in particular charged me $ 10and then wouldn’t let me make more than a couple of calls or texts and then said I had reached my,limit ! I l0ve this app and so grateful it helps people like me make it through the toughest of times without having to lose contact with others when it can be a life or death situation. Thank you much for being so beneficial to people who cannot make ends meet9n the middle of a global pandemic you’ve been a beacon of light !! Thank you so much for all you do to help without being greedy. more -
Aug 2, 2022 By Michael KeetonUnable to make calls now. I can still send and receive texts but I can not make a call. It starts to call then kicks back out about 1 to 2 seconds later. I've tried updating, uninstalling and reinstalling, done everything the troubleshooting says to do. If I can't get it fixed, I'll have to find another wifi calling app. 😕 more -
Jul 14, 2022 By Randy HendersonWorks great for me! I live in a "black hole" area where cell service is hit and miss. Since I have fiber optic internet service, that very rarely ever goes down, TextNow is an awesome backup plan. Plus when I'm out and about where WiFi is offered, it is the comfort in knowing that in an emergency I will always have a line out. Thank you for such a great service and option. more -
Updated: Misleading SIM card kit plan
Sep 20, 2021 By Dman11385Updated. I was all wrong. Tech support was able to send instructions to fix my situation. It was working within 5 minutes. That’s all it took. Live Chat support was very supportive. Issue resolved and rating updated. Thank you. The offer is truly free no strings attached. Thanks again. (It offers free unlimited calling and texting with one time purchase of the SIM card kit on our nationwide network. So it says on the advertisement. There’s an asterisk in the advertisement however when you scroll down you can’t find the notice for the asterisk. It’s only after purchase I realize the SIM card purchase only activates the free calling on WiFi only portion of the plan. Free texting remains the same on WiFi only. My phone did not work outside. You need to purchase the AdFree+ plan or a data plan to have your phone work outside. The SIM card kit offer page she be updated without any words mentioning or referencing your nationwide network. That is highly misleading and disingenuous. It’s a classic bait and switch.) more

Jul 26, 2022 By Samuel GrahamWorks more or less as intended. On my old galaxy tab a, it lags a bunch and most of the time I get the "textnow isn't responding" popup. Also, it is completely ridiculous to make people pay to get verification codes, as that makes up most of the people using your service. I get that it's good for marketing, but you've gotta be losing people do to that. But I really can't complain about the call quality and reception. But for a free app, it's ok. more -
Amazing quality!!
Apr 19, 2020 By m@4545222I had text now app for a long while and then I caught wind of their free cell service, I ordered a sim card and I installed it in my iPhone and activated it. Once I activated the sim card I went down the street and I was able to make and receive high quality audio calls and the texts send and receive fast, you truly get free cell service yes $0.00 with no WiFi I am able to call and text this is a wonderful thing!! I decided to transfer my cell number over to TextNow and it was a smooth and pleasant process that took less then 24 hours!! I transferred my number from Straight Talk to TextNow. There is no cell data included with the free plan but that’s ok with me I’ll just use the internet on WiFi, although if you wanted cell data TextNow has affordable options. What’s the catch you say ? There are ads that pop up from time to time when you call or text but besides that there is no catch!! I highly recommend this it’s great more -
Jul 29, 2022 By Darlene BurtonI absolutely love this app. I have been using it now for almost 2 years. The only reason I am rating it a three and not a five is because it has stopped ringing. I do not ever hear the phone calls that are coming in. I have every setting set correctly and since their last update I guess things have gone downhill. I send a voicemail to someone and they cannot retrieve it. If they fix these problems that would be great and it would be a five-star app again. I don't even mind the ads. more

Jul 27, 2022 By Jason BrownWorks for the most part. Often drops a call when it decides to have an ad pop up during the phone call and your cheek touches the "touch-screen phone" that the app was designed for, it will take you to that advertisement's page-closing out text now, and your call right along with it. That's honestly not that great, and feels gimmicky.. Aside from that, suddenly finding out that I cannot use this for a verification code without upgrading, is also not that great, and prompted this review. more -
Purchased subscription, lost number(2)
Jun 13, 2021 By Thepianofreak01I paid the $4.99/yr for locking my number, and now all of a sudden a month later i click on the app to try and look at what number i have so i can log back into my Telegram account that i needed it for, and it will only ask for me to choose a new number. It’s clearly a glitch though, because it will show the list of texts i have gotten on the number i already paid to use and keep for less than a second before the other screen pops up in front of it. I can’t get around it. Update: i went back and forth with customer service over email and provided them the information they asked for, and a week later even after i ask if there’s been any update on progress, i get nothing back. I found out whoever has my number now deleted my telegram account to make their own with the number, so trying to keep it is just pointless now. Don’t use this app. They put receiving verification codes and “locking in” your number so that people don't take your information or number behind a paywall, but then it doesn’t even lock it in! I still got my number reassigned to somebody else and they were still able to log into my account and delete it so they could make their own. Waste of time and money. It took me two weeks of being logged out of my account for me to finally realize that all of this has been for nothing. more -
Jul 21, 2022 By Serah IveryIt gets the job done but I'm sure there are better apps out there. 9/10 whenever I get a new message I'll see the notification for the message but when I click on it the message won't show up in the message thread, and the only way to solve this is to clear my cache and data EVERY SINGLE TIME a message gets lost. So that part eats up a lot of time and enthusiasm for keeping up a conversation. more -
Jul 30, 2022 By Kimberly PoundsI accidentally deleted my text now app that I have had for a year and I downloaded it again immediately and it won't even stay on my screen or work for not even a second. When someone calls their name and number will not show up so you can't see whose calling . And the decline or answer button is not available to see either. So I miss alot of important calls. Other than that, I really like this app!!!! more -
Jul 21, 2022 By Graffius DelAbsolutely Awful. I wouldn't recommend this service to anyone. I was texting TWO friends last night at the same time. My service (in which I paid for the number) became unusable. I was not able to call or send text messages. They were able to send to me, but I could not respond back. The service is trash. I was told on support chat that you can only have interactions with one person at a time. I had to create a back up texting app just in case I get blocked again from my own number! more -
It’s not the best...
Feb 2, 2019 By SmilessmcdecinburgerThis app is great. Especially for me because I have an iPad, which means I cannot text phones from Samsung etc. This app is good because I could text my friends with phones from other providers. But, I faced many issues such as sometimes I would click on the app and it would shut me out and I would be back on the home screen after being in the app for about 3 seconds. I do get a lot of spam calls and a lot of people I don’t know txt me. It is really glitchy and sometimes I send messages and the person I am texting did not receive it. Another thing I didn’t like was I didn’t receive notifications most of the time when people texted me. One day I went on the app and all but the contact names went black. It shut me out of the app and I was back at the home screen. I tried many times getting back on the app, but it never worked. Then I got back on about a couple months later and I was logged out of my account! I can’t get back on and I don’t know what to do!! All of my text messages with my friends and family are gone. I would not recommend this app... it has just brought me so much anger and unless they fixed something with a magical update I don’t know if it’s going to be any good because I WAS LOGGED OUT OF MY ACCOUNT AND CAN’T CHECK FOR YOU. Hope this helped. more -
Will cancel your account without explanation
Apr 9, 2022 By UpsetAlexI have used this app for several years. First stated having issues 1 year ago where my number was almost lost even though I had paid the subscription to keep my number. Now this week when I try to use the service I receive a message that my account has been terminated for violation of terms. However I have barely used the app in the last few months except for every once in a while and I am definitely sure I violated no terms as I have been using the app for several years. When I contacted customer service they informed me the account was closed for violation but are not able to tell me what the violation was and there is not appeal process to get reactivated. It is my feeling that they just wanted the subscription fee and then wanted to recycle my number to someone else. I do not recommend this app to anyone due to sketchy business practices and no business integrity. Update: They contacted me to try and resolve issue supposedly but would only say sorry we can't help your account terminated even though I had paid the yearly subscription fee to keep my number. This app use to be good, however as many of the other reviews have stated it is now a total scam to get money then free up cell number to other to try and scam over and over. more -
Dreadful Support! Dreadful useless app!
Dec 18, 2019 By Aychee F#1: USE TALKU OR DINGTONE!! always guaranteed credits to earn through watching videos and playing games-very interactive! And one of the best for free-yes free international calls and texts that actually go through! It’s not perfect 100% of the time but it’s gotten so much better. Avoid TEXTNOW. You’re lucky if you can earn one credit a day. Talking to support today made me want to literally rip my eyes out because I was going in circles with someone who clearly didn’t read or understand not only the initial issue, but know what’s in their FAQs and articles. 1st, they have a submit a request feature through the app, but then when you submit a request, you get a canned reply through email saying they don’t use that anymore and to utilize chat instead. Then you need to remove anything that is obsolete from your app!! A customer should not be going in circles to try to get help. I had to explain to this person practically 3 times what I was referring to. For example-they say you can complete offers for credit but there is nowhere to ever do that! So do not refer me to Tap Joy when you don’t even offer the opportunity to earn credits for offers! It was just awful… I wind up turning off the message communication with this person because my patience was depleted. more -
App is useless after latest update
May 2, 2021 By pudchiniIdk what happened to this app but it’s been complete garbage the last few days (both the iPhone and the iPad versions of the app). It completely overloads the device’s operating system or something because when I try to open the app whatever media is playing in the background (and would normally continue to play in the background) stops playing. This wouldn’t really bother me if it was the only problem, but from there it only gets worse. The app freezes and will not respond to any taps. I’ve tried task killing the app and then restarting it but nothing changes. I’ve also tried doing a soft reset/force re-starting the devices, and then trying the app again to see if it’s working, but that hasn’t helped either. At first I thought it was my phone but then I realized the same thing was happening on my iPad too, so it must be the app itself because I’m not having any issues like this with any other apps. I really wish/hope the developer fixes the app because this was my favorite messaging app (before the update). But now that it’s completely unusable I’m going to have to try out some other apps and see if I can find a suitable alternative. Goodbye (for now?) TextNow ✌️ more -
Jul 20, 2022 By DO NOT DO ITText messages are shown as sent on the other person's phone but don't show up on mine until hours later, my messages don't go through to theirs at all sometimes, calls won't show up as a notification on mine or theirs, and sometimes they connect but there's no audio. Textfree is a much better alternative, because none of that ever happened when I used it. more

Nov 23, 2021 By Shell'64I have been a customer for the last two years and this app helped make the most difficult time of my life more bearable. When COVID hit the city I liv4d in in March of 2020 I was unable to pay my $55 phone bill and as a result they turned off my phone . FortunatleyI had#iFi and came across the app . Thanks to the app I was able to notify paramedics and my others hospice nurse when she was in the final stages of COVID and then family and friends when she passed the following day. I’ve tried other apps and was very disappointed. One in particular charged me $ 10and then wouldn’t let me make more than a couple of calls or texts and then said I had reached my,limit ! I l0ve this app and so grateful it helps people like me make it through the toughest of times without having to lose contact with others when it can be a life or death situation. Thank you much for being so beneficial to people who cannot make ends meet9n the middle of a global pandemic you’ve been a beacon of light !! Thank you so much for all you do to help without being greedy. more -
Jul 14, 2022 By Randy HendersonWorks great for me! I live in a "black hole" area where cell service is hit and miss. Since I have fiber optic internet service, that very rarely ever goes down, TextNow is an awesome backup plan. Plus when I'm out and about where WiFi is offered, it is the comfort in knowing that in an emergency I will always have a line out. Thank you for such a great service and option. more -
Updated: Misleading SIM card kit plan
Sep 20, 2021 By Dman11385Updated. I was all wrong. Tech support was able to send instructions to fix my situation. It was working within 5 minutes. That’s all it took. Live Chat support was very supportive. Issue resolved and rating updated. Thank you. The offer is truly free no strings attached. Thanks again. (It offers free unlimited calling and texting with one time purchase of the SIM card kit on our nationwide network. So it says on the advertisement. There’s an asterisk in the advertisement however when you scroll down you can’t find the notice for the asterisk. It’s only after purchase I realize the SIM card purchase only activates the free calling on WiFi only portion of the plan. Free texting remains the same on WiFi only. My phone did not work outside. You need to purchase the AdFree+ plan or a data plan to have your phone work outside. The SIM card kit offer page she be updated without any words mentioning or referencing your nationwide network. That is highly misleading and disingenuous. It’s a classic bait and switch.) more -
Amazing quality!!
Apr 19, 2020 By m@4545222I had text now app for a long while and then I caught wind of their free cell service, I ordered a sim card and I installed it in my iPhone and activated it. Once I activated the sim card I went down the street and I was able to make and receive high quality audio calls and the texts send and receive fast, you truly get free cell service yes $0.00 with no WiFi I am able to call and text this is a wonderful thing!! I decided to transfer my cell number over to TextNow and it was a smooth and pleasant process that took less then 24 hours!! I transferred my number from Straight Talk to TextNow. There is no cell data included with the free plan but that’s ok with me I’ll just use the internet on WiFi, although if you wanted cell data TextNow has affordable options. What’s the catch you say ? There are ads that pop up from time to time when you call or text but besides that there is no catch!! I highly recommend this it’s great more -
Jul 23, 2022 By Deborah Geiger06/17/22--I know someone who has at least ten different numbers. How does he do it? I have a hard time holding on to one number. lol 07/23/22--After using this app for a month, I find it hard to pick up the incoming call, at times. I pound on the accept button & many times I will still miss picking up the call. Another thing is the voice on the other end is very faint at times, and I miss what they've said. The voice comes in loud and clear then gets faint or vice-versa. more -
Text Now Review
Jul 17, 2019 By Sickles Girl #1I absolutely love the text no app! It’s convenient and steady. FMy family and I have used it for 5 years! What I like about bout text now is the fact that no matter what , I can always access it through any device I choose to use whenever I choose to use it! Another great thing about text now is when I do have to access it through a secondary device all my info and previous messages are still there! That is super convenient being I lose everything especially phone numbers and messages! But text now keeps all that stored and it’s accessible to me 24/7. Sometimes paying my and my family’s phone bills can be very stressful at times because it’s expensive and I’m not able to get all of them payed at the same time. So having text now as a back up or second number. I along with my children Can assure my friends and family that they’re still able to contact me through texting or calling. Thanks text now!🤗 more -
Jul 30, 2022 By LouisGreat application! I highly recommend it to everyone. I had a problem with it last week but when I uninstalled it then reinstalled, problem gone. I think it wanted access to my contacts list and I had declined, so that caused missed calls. Overall I'd give this application a 6 star rating if it were possible. more -
Jul 27, 2022 By Walter DoggTextNow's a great app! I use it for contacting people I don't necessarily want to give my primary number out to, and I have no complaints about the app. I've even paid for it once or twice, but currently don't have the finances to. When I do, I'll definitely continue paying for the app to support it! I do have one suggestion, though — it would be nice to respond to text notifications on my notifications screen instead of having to open the app to reply. I hope you make this update soon! more

Ads have become unbearable
Apr 9, 2022 By JetsblazeI’ve had TextNow for over 4 years and counting. I used to love this app because the ads while they were there (as they ought to be since it’s a free service), they were non intrusive and bearable. It was a tiny banner ad in between messages in the inbox . That’s it. However in the past few months it has gotten so bad that I’ve considered simply uninstalling the app and moving on . I’ve always used this service as a secondary number for non personal stuff (I even paid to get my number locked in) , but now it seems it’s not even worth it. To say that the ads are very frequent would be a total understatement.. it literally seems that after every call made , you get blasted with a 20-30 second full screen ad (which you cannot skip or close or do anything with other than wait it out) . Why should I have to deal with that so often ? It never used to be like this and if it had to come to the point in which full screen ads like that had to be implemented , then ok if it was once in a while fine , I would just deal with it. But every other phone call or 30 seconds of going through messages? Nah that’s too much I’m sorry. You guys sold out plain and simple. more -
Aug 2, 2022 By Michael KeetonUnable to make calls now. I can still send and receive texts but I can not make a call. It starts to call then kicks back out about 1 to 2 seconds later. I've tried updating, uninstalling and reinstalling, done everything the troubleshooting says to do. If I can't get it fixed, I'll have to find another wifi calling app. 😕 more -
Jul 26, 2022 By Samuel GrahamWorks more or less as intended. On my old galaxy tab a, it lags a bunch and most of the time I get the "textnow isn't responding" popup. Also, it is completely ridiculous to make people pay to get verification codes, as that makes up most of the people using your service. I get that it's good for marketing, but you've gotta be losing people do to that. But I really can't complain about the call quality and reception. But for a free app, it's ok. more -
Jul 29, 2022 By Darlene BurtonI absolutely love this app. I have been using it now for almost 2 years. The only reason I am rating it a three and not a five is because it has stopped ringing. I do not ever hear the phone calls that are coming in. I have every setting set correctly and since their last update I guess things have gone downhill. I send a voicemail to someone and they cannot retrieve it. If they fix these problems that would be great and it would be a five-star app again. I don't even mind the ads. more -
This used to be my favorite texting app...
Mar 20, 2019 By Join Walkers btw!I’ve been a TextNow user for many years, ever since 2011, and haven’t run into so much trouble until recently when their ads just became unbearable. I believe in ads and have even tried buying their service several times. However, the ads are ruining the experience. Whenever I enter the app and tap on a contact and begin to type a message the app just freezes. I sometimes end up calling my boss on accident due to the horrible lag. The actual texting and calling is good otherwise. The texting is far better than the calling at times. I have unlimited data, but this apps can go from working great to not working at all in seconds. I can see that it’s the ads causing all the issues. My fix would be to have ads take up less data or use less ads or use a better way to get these ads on the app. Please fix this devs. It gets very confusing and frustrating when I can’t use the app due to all the ads. I will try to get a plan to remove the ads, but the normal service is advertised as free. I do hope you can fix the interface to run smoothly once again. I will return to the app when it gets better. more -
Jul 31, 2022 By M SmithI have been using this app 4 about 5 years or more and really like it and it's always worked fine, but the past couple days it started messing up, will not let me access my account on the mobile app through the email I set it up with, it keeps showing an error and say try again. It skips to the step as if u r trying 2 set up a whole new account and phone number! So frustrating! Please tweak the app and fix the errors please! more -
Okay
Jun 9, 2020 By autumn monganI do love this app I use it all the time but sometimes when I press the hang up button it is really slow and glitchy and when I go to the app it will shut me out of it when I’m only in the app for 3 seconds but again I use this app all the time but I also get a lot of random numbers call and text me and it does get super annoying but I love this app so so so much I use it so much and it’s just really slow and glitchy but I mean it is what it is also this app is very very slow and glitchy when I go on the app it will take a while for it to actually load even when I full bars of WiFi’s and everything I think maybe it’s just really slow and I noticed if I get more than 13 phone numbers it will delete my most recent person I texted and if I don’t use my app for a 3 days it will log me out and say I need to get a new number I have spent so much time on this app and it’s not that good of quality I hop you guys the best to try and fix it and this app would be the bomb but as of right now it’s not such a great app🥰! more

Jul 27, 2022 By Jason BrownWorks for the most part. Often drops a call when it decides to have an ad pop up during the phone call and your cheek touches the "touch-screen phone" that the app was designed for, it will take you to that advertisement's page-closing out text now, and your call right along with it. That's honestly not that great, and feels gimmicky.. Aside from that, suddenly finding out that I cannot use this for a verification code without upgrading, is also not that great, and prompted this review. more -
Jul 21, 2022 By Serah IveryIt gets the job done but I'm sure there are better apps out there. 9/10 whenever I get a new message I'll see the notification for the message but when I click on it the message won't show up in the message thread, and the only way to solve this is to clear my cache and data EVERY SINGLE TIME a message gets lost. So that part eats up a lot of time and enthusiasm for keeping up a conversation. more -
It’s not the best...
Feb 2, 2019 By SmilessmcdecinburgerThis app is great. Especially for me because I have an iPad, which means I cannot text phones from Samsung etc. This app is good because I could text my friends with phones from other providers. But, I faced many issues such as sometimes I would click on the app and it would shut me out and I would be back on the home screen after being in the app for about 3 seconds. I do get a lot of spam calls and a lot of people I don’t know txt me. It is really glitchy and sometimes I send messages and the person I am texting did not receive it. Another thing I didn’t like was I didn’t receive notifications most of the time when people texted me. One day I went on the app and all but the contact names went black. It shut me out of the app and I was back at the home screen. I tried many times getting back on the app, but it never worked. Then I got back on about a couple months later and I was logged out of my account! I can’t get back on and I don’t know what to do!! All of my text messages with my friends and family are gone. I would not recommend this app... it has just brought me so much anger and unless they fixed something with a magical update I don’t know if it’s going to be any good because I WAS LOGGED OUT OF MY ACCOUNT AND CAN’T CHECK FOR YOU. Hope this helped. more -
Glitchy and ads overwhelm the experience
Nov 8, 2018 By SeaslangTextNow is a great idea and provides a great service essentially - that you can have a free phone number and call North America from anywhere in the world -however the user experience is pretty bad. The app is slow, extremely glitchy, and the ads are meant to overwhelm your experience. The ad situation has gotten substantially worse in recent months. The standard bad ad experience on the app is that the ads pop up on the home screen constantly and they are hard to close. But recently I had the experience that video ads start playing through my calls and as the call time progresses the interval between the time the video ad plays gets shorter and shorter. So what happens is you're talking to someone and then an extremely loud ad (way above the call audio volume) starts playing over your call. You can shut it down but it will just start back up again a few moments later. Really unbearable. I am keeping the app because it's in its development stages and I'm hoping it will go in a different direction when it receives more funding. As a traveler it's a great tool for me, just wish it wasn't such a harrowing tool to use. more

Purchased subscription, lost number(2)
Jun 13, 2021 By Thepianofreak01I paid the $4.99/yr for locking my number, and now all of a sudden a month later i click on the app to try and look at what number i have so i can log back into my Telegram account that i needed it for, and it will only ask for me to choose a new number. It’s clearly a glitch though, because it will show the list of texts i have gotten on the number i already paid to use and keep for less than a second before the other screen pops up in front of it. I can’t get around it. Update: i went back and forth with customer service over email and provided them the information they asked for, and a week later even after i ask if there’s been any update on progress, i get nothing back. I found out whoever has my number now deleted my telegram account to make their own with the number, so trying to keep it is just pointless now. Don’t use this app. They put receiving verification codes and “locking in” your number so that people don't take your information or number behind a paywall, but then it doesn’t even lock it in! I still got my number reassigned to somebody else and they were still able to log into my account and delete it so they could make their own. Waste of time and money. It took me two weeks of being logged out of my account for me to finally realize that all of this has been for nothing. more -
Jul 30, 2022 By Kimberly PoundsI accidentally deleted my text now app that I have had for a year and I downloaded it again immediately and it won't even stay on my screen or work for not even a second. When someone calls their name and number will not show up so you can't see whose calling . And the decline or answer button is not available to see either. So I miss alot of important calls. Other than that, I really like this app!!!! more -
Jul 21, 2022 By Graffius DelAbsolutely Awful. I wouldn't recommend this service to anyone. I was texting TWO friends last night at the same time. My service (in which I paid for the number) became unusable. I was not able to call or send text messages. They were able to send to me, but I could not respond back. The service is trash. I was told on support chat that you can only have interactions with one person at a time. I had to create a back up texting app just in case I get blocked again from my own number! more -
Will cancel your account without explanation
Apr 9, 2022 By UpsetAlexI have used this app for several years. First stated having issues 1 year ago where my number was almost lost even though I had paid the subscription to keep my number. Now this week when I try to use the service I receive a message that my account has been terminated for violation of terms. However I have barely used the app in the last few months except for every once in a while and I am definitely sure I violated no terms as I have been using the app for several years. When I contacted customer service they informed me the account was closed for violation but are not able to tell me what the violation was and there is not appeal process to get reactivated. It is my feeling that they just wanted the subscription fee and then wanted to recycle my number to someone else. I do not recommend this app to anyone due to sketchy business practices and no business integrity. Update: They contacted me to try and resolve issue supposedly but would only say sorry we can't help your account terminated even though I had paid the yearly subscription fee to keep my number. This app use to be good, however as many of the other reviews have stated it is now a total scam to get money then free up cell number to other to try and scam over and over. more -
Dreadful Support! Dreadful useless app!
Dec 18, 2019 By Aychee F#1: USE TALKU OR DINGTONE!! always guaranteed credits to earn through watching videos and playing games-very interactive! And one of the best for free-yes free international calls and texts that actually go through! It’s not perfect 100% of the time but it’s gotten so much better. Avoid TEXTNOW. You’re lucky if you can earn one credit a day. Talking to support today made me want to literally rip my eyes out because I was going in circles with someone who clearly didn’t read or understand not only the initial issue, but know what’s in their FAQs and articles. 1st, they have a submit a request feature through the app, but then when you submit a request, you get a canned reply through email saying they don’t use that anymore and to utilize chat instead. Then you need to remove anything that is obsolete from your app!! A customer should not be going in circles to try to get help. I had to explain to this person practically 3 times what I was referring to. For example-they say you can complete offers for credit but there is nowhere to ever do that! So do not refer me to Tap Joy when you don’t even offer the opportunity to earn credits for offers! It was just awful… I wind up turning off the message communication with this person because my patience was depleted. more -
App is useless after latest update
May 2, 2021 By pudchiniIdk what happened to this app but it’s been complete garbage the last few days (both the iPhone and the iPad versions of the app). It completely overloads the device’s operating system or something because when I try to open the app whatever media is playing in the background (and would normally continue to play in the background) stops playing. This wouldn’t really bother me if it was the only problem, but from there it only gets worse. The app freezes and will not respond to any taps. I’ve tried task killing the app and then restarting it but nothing changes. I’ve also tried doing a soft reset/force re-starting the devices, and then trying the app again to see if it’s working, but that hasn’t helped either. At first I thought it was my phone but then I realized the same thing was happening on my iPad too, so it must be the app itself because I’m not having any issues like this with any other apps. I really wish/hope the developer fixes the app because this was my favorite messaging app (before the update). But now that it’s completely unusable I’m going to have to try out some other apps and see if I can find a suitable alternative. Goodbye (for now?) TextNow ✌️ more -
Jul 20, 2022 By DO NOT DO ITText messages are shown as sent on the other person's phone but don't show up on mine until hours later, my messages don't go through to theirs at all sometimes, calls won't show up as a notification on mine or theirs, and sometimes they connect but there's no audio. Textfree is a much better alternative, because none of that ever happened when I used it. more -
Big problems
Nov 1, 2021 By L SonnaThis was a good app. Today I didn’t receive 2 critical text messages. Instead, I received 2 text messages from your company saying that now I must pay to receive text messages…if I have a particular version of your app. I spent an hour hunting for my app’s version # without success. 1. What is the version # of my app? The emailed link to purchase the text messaging capability didn’t work. 2. Is that because I have the wrong version? How do I receive text messages as in the past? I spent an hour searching for a tech support phone or email without success. 3. How do I contact tech support? In trying to sign up for the text messaging plan, I accidentally purchased “lock in your #.” I don’t need that service 4. How do I get my $ back? Or, better yet, how do I get the plan switched from “lock in your #!” to “text messaging.” Your website and the Apple App store say that both phoning and texting are free, which apparently is untrue. 5. Isn’t false advertising illegal? - I reinstalled the app today to be sure I have the latest version. I have sent multiple text messages from my phone - not one has come through. Calls works, but not text messages. more -
TERRIBLE.. SCAM/NO REFUND!!
Apr 20, 2021 By babydoll764I trusted TextNow for a couple of years until I heard you connect to their wireless data. Yes it works with WiFi but I decided to try the free wireless data and bought it for $10 and the same day I received my activation kit, I decided to cancel it because of some sketchy stuff that was going on with the SIM card not working and my device not connecting to their wireless data it said no refund but on their website before you buy the activation kit they advertise that they will give you a 30 day return refund and you get your money back but that’s a total lie I got no refund as it stated in the email (which had no reply) meaning I can’t reply to whoever sent that email so now I just lost $10... this is a total scam please don’t fall for it you’re just going to lose money do not fall for their free wireless plan or go with any of their plans. It’s all sketchy and just fake advertisements to get your money & improve their app. Something else I also found sketchy about TEXTNOW is that I’ve been looking for a customer service number/email and I couldn’t find anything it just takes me to a site that answers irrelevant questions. SMH BIG FAILURE!!! more -
Jul 19, 2022 By Michelle PriceHorrible!!!!....been having issues all day due to this app. Can someone please explain why I have audio record links in my files from text now. Why whenever I go to send a text my keypad is sticking, letters are appearing in my text that I did not select when trying to type words in a text message. Several times I have deleted files that have been added to my phone. I am just trying to understand what exactly is the purpose. Not happy at all more
