“Need better reception for calls.”

Adelita V.

This app has been great need less day. When I need to use Text No, it opens right up for me. No problem. Reception could be hella better for voice calls... Other than that Text Now does the job and gets it done.

“Unsatisfied”

Clark L.

I paid for the card, it doesn't work, there is no free calling, and there is no available customer service for assistance. That's about it... Save for the fact that health insurance spammers can get through with perfect signal strength time after time even leaving default four-second vms. I'm not upset or anything, I didn't have high hopes about this from jump street, just saying.

Textnow is Great to have as I started using almost 6 years ago for a second number on wifi and then I realized I could save Money with buying a SIM card so I did and cancelled my expensive Mobile carrier plan. I use it in a couple of old T-mobile and unlocked phones that I swap the SIM around in which is nice.
I now only use Textnow as it Saves me money every month,and been using it for 3 yrs now. Love that it is FREE Unlimited Calls and Texts and about 8 months ago they added FREE Data for Emails and Google Maps. Love it and highly recommend to anyone that wants to have a way to keep in contact and save money.

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.

I enjoy this service. I can have a separate phone number to conduct what is necessary and not interrupt my main line

Works in my area except for near creeks (would notice this on walks). Enjoyed being able to talk without Wi-Fi or a plan, it's free!

This is a great second line that allowed me to communicate with my contacts in Canada and USA while outside Canada without paying for roaming charge on my main provider

I love having this second line because When giving out phone numbers, I am skeptical about who gets my personal number And Text Now # gives me an option to where I don't have to

I'm disabled and don't leave the house much so having cell service over the Wi-Fi works perfect for me! Never had any problems. Unless you count the ones that it took an older person to get used to the app. Hahaha Thanks text now!

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

This app is great, you can send picture messages, the speed of the message is quick. You can send videos but I wish they would update their system to have better video quality. Other than that very satisfied.
